Just talking about what happened on this continent isn’t enough. Major issues were left behind where slave were stolen from>> <<@Tot_vultus says : I as a dutchman find it a painful and very correct detail that most of the pictures of mbutu in the act of corruption. He is acompanied by the former Dutch prince through marriage Bernhard.>> <<@profvecna23 says : What's about another video on Patrice Lumumba as well?🤷🤷>> <<@fuzinator1922 says : One cannot defend the actions of Mobutu, but his early political cunning is among the among the closest to Chancellor Palpatine-level pragmatic manipulation imaginable. He first positioned himself as a moderate and possible post-independence ally to the Belgians and Westerners by passing intelligence on his ostensible-anti-colonialist allies to the authorities and putting down anti-white mutinies through clever bribery. Then, having endeared himself to Western partners including the CIA, he used the military to break a political deadlock and handed control (at least nominally) back to elected politicians, casting himself as a bringer of stability and protector of democratic institutions while removing his most dangerous political adversary in Lumumba all in one swoop. He then faded into relative obscurity once again for a few years, allowing Katanga to reintegrate (one less thing he’d have to do after taking power) and for Kasavubu and Tshombe’s feuding to gridlock the government once again, before emerging from the shadows amidst the now long-standing disillusionment by the Congolese people with the paralyzed government to legitimize the coup and subsequent political purge that solidified his power. It’s all pretty strategic; someone with less tact or cunning might easily misstep and reveal their true intentions too early. One can rightly call him a kleptocratic, egotistic, bloodthirsty despot, but they can’t call him an idiot.>> <<@ytrefugee113 says : I served with a man in the US Army who called himself, "King Mobutu">> <<@tomlevick2935 says : Fries and mayo is legit>> <<@meirstambler3032 says : Obama Mobutu Kamala>> <<@jflossie583 says : as a belgian, it's true, leopold II was a brutal ruler, and my country should apoligize to the congolese people, they suffered unbearable. Not that the average belgium civilian in belgium itself had ainything to do with it at the time more than half could not even study in it's own language ore even understand a judge. The local priest did eveything to keep everybody under the tumb. What does bother me, is that the bigg coloniszation nations like britain, france, russian and yes, the us, always point to us as iff they were saints, they did just the same things. Just look at marrocco, india, south africa ore even the native american people and the indiginous siberians. Yes, Belgium should not have done this, just als al the other bigg nations shouldn't have done this.>> <<@jacktheleper4468 says : They have to mention colonization bc africans cant perpetrate wrong doing on their own>> <<@metrohunter-qy4fz says : 5:09 spoiler alert: they couldn’t>> <<@fredrikcarlstedt393 says : Mobutus loyality lay only with Mobutu, not with the Belgians, or the Americans, or Lumumba for that matter .>> <<@xl000 says : you didn't drink the whole thing at 0:50 also there is a cut after that, so we don't know if you vomited it afterwards.>> <<@vintagetriplex3728 says : It's always crazy how these dictators always have a Friendly demeanor.>> <<@sembelekendelela6849 says : YES>> <<@siloephra says : Wrong! Don’t speak about my country or my history and leaders if you don’t know the true situation. Mobutu is still very dearly loved by the Congolese people despite his flaws and most of the things you said about him is from 2nd or third hand sources from the west trying to slander his name, do you actually have any first hand sources to confirm your lies? No. So stop this nonsense, it has racial undertones. Take this video down of my great leader!>> <<@abubakarbiminyuy4168 says : Even though he was a dictator, we still observe positive aspects of him. He remains the true lover of his nation, the great Zaire>> <<@afterhourscinema782 says : *Classic African savagery* 😂 And that's coming from a Mexican, so it's not like we're one to talk>> <<@lilaspire7 says : DRC is still recovering from the trauma of the despotic regime of Mobutu Sese Seko who was handpicked by the West during the times of the Cold war>> <<@Petra44YT says : Don't forget that he killed an innocent leopard, too!>> <<@SwissFemboy says : Say what you want, Mobutu Sese Seko was anti communist and his country was better under him than now. dictaroships work.>> <<@hutch1319 says : Am i the only one who sees the Palace he constructed at 14:30 resembles a giant evacuating penis??>> <<@pacificdream5152 says : I really comment on youtube videos, but i'd like to thank you for this video. I am a Congolese and i've always wanted to learn about the history of my country but resources are scare.>> <<@spardaprowess3277 says : How dare you badmouth Fries with Mayonnaise ?! Thumbsdown for you !>> <<@JohnJohn-uv5qo says : The serious issue with these videos is the perspective that white man brought nothing but wickedness and hurt to Africa. The white man was responsible for turning the Congo from a collection of tribes engaged in internecine warfare, slavery and cannibalism, giving civil society to an area of the world that had been unable to develop it on their own.>> <<@jalalstephens7457 says : CIA supported while he killed thousands>> <<@pyromania1018 says : Actually, Lumumba initially appealed to the West for help, playing on his desire for democracy. But Belgium had already slandered him to the USA and the UN by spitefully claiming he was anti-white, anti-western, and a Communist. That last part became a self-fulfilling prophecy.>> <<@thecynic9232 says : There is an amazing, tragic book called “King Leopold’s Ghost” which details the horrific rule of the Belgians in the Congo. The stuff of nightmares. None of Africa’s countries were spared from colonialism.>> <<@stefaneer9120 says : My home Cologne has had some Belgian Army Force Bases in the whole town and region, for over 40 years. We have until today some Congolese people who did live here. Now I know why and I just have bad thoughts too.>> <<@xStopShootinMe says : Simon , u and your team really do a great job with with the various channels you maintain and contribute to. Good job guys 👍👍>> <<@jenniferhaynes8625 says : Mobutu was a total narcissist. Some of the people of the Congo were totally deceived. He was not for the people of the Congo. Some people are still confused of his snake like ways>> <<@haumeamea says : Maybe you guys can do Francisco Macias Nguema, the most cartoonishly vile dictator in history>> <<@johnsakeiyia330 says : You don't need to show us your face every so often, it's just interrupting the flow of the story.>> <<@PeterM888 says : Would love to see what ye would do with Michael Collins, the man who took down the British empire and won Ireland their independence.>> <<@nothingmuch8865 says : Corruption and murder go togther like peas and carrots.>> <<@willvanness1367 says : Mubuto was a very “UGLY” man !!!. He was a “STUPID, SAVAGE PRIMITIVE” who didn’t even have a concept of the proper utilization of in-door plumbing or how to properly use “TOILET PAPER” !!!. Yours truly Will VanNess>> <<@sifamuzimbe4266 says : Gbadolite😂😂😂...sorry Simon that took me out!!!>> <<@sifamuzimbe4266 says : The way he says Kasa-vubu 😂>> <<@RizRockJizJock says : Lumumba would have made a fine leader. It's a shame he got replaced with this stupid despot.>> <<@rigaudmackson4167 says : My family come from Zaire he misses out a lot and a lot where lies he was a very good man but many dint know about Europe's. Crimes>> <<@aricstradtmann9972 says : This is why black people can not be allowed in power they ruin countries>> <<@CaptainHowdy1973 says : Africa's final boss 😂>> <<@robinsonrex1280 says : Mobutu Sissy pSycho.>> <<@RubyGB says : The house I lived next door to was bought for a couple of U.S Presbyterian missionaries who were had to flee with 20 min to get out taking only only 20 lbs each of their personal things. After the revolution. When the fighting calmed down a few yrs later they were allowed back in and served several more years and were there during the outbreak of Ebola desire but it didn't hit their atea. Altogether they ended spending about 25 yrs in the Congo.They loved the country and the people.>> <<@briandoss9232 says : Oof...>> <<@petrovtiganu9904 says : You tube is unwatchable due to ads great channel though.>> <<@peterkavanagh64 says : Do the readers see thei tent as amububo . Just all and no objections>> <<@peterkavanagh64 says : Re the advert for green plus vit a trysay don't beconstantthejakal.scavanges that better>> <<@John_BDT says : Do one on Peter Obi from Nigeria. And how the system and political godfathers have rigged the election to favor a former drug dealer in Bola Tinubu who is currently the president elect. Peter Obi isn’t a politician per say. He can change the country like he did he’s state.>>
