I'm re-reading it as it's been a long time since I first came across it. I'm only 10 pages in, but it certainly paints a picture as to what they are up against. Not a lot would have changed in 12 years.Damn you whoever posted that link to the landcruiser trip in Congo.
Currently 28 pages deep, a paragraph I thought was interesting….
“
The road is Chinese made. You can recognize the chinese from a distance by the big straw hats they wear. Everywhere in Congo people, especially kids, would shout "Chinois" (Chinese in French) to us. For many Congolese everybody who is not black is "Chinois". That is due to the large community of Chinese living in Congo.
The relationship between China and Congo is worrying to say the least. I will not bore you to death with the details, but if you are interested, do a google search on the deals regarding the mining concessions and you will find plenty to read.
In short: China has lend Congo many billions for rebuilding their infrastructure. Almost all infrastructure works are then outsourced to.. Chinese companies. The chinese companies bring their own - underpaid - workforce and provide little to no employment to the local population. In return for the loan China gets huge mining concessions. Astronomical 'signature fees' were appointed to the officials who signed the contracts ofcourse. The whole deal is immensly beneficial for the Chinese, but the question is what is in it for the Congolese?
And what happens when the 5 billion is spent? They'll have a few nice roads and bridges. But what about maintenance of this infrastructure?”
We know something of this kinda shit hey

Really shows how bad it is, almost every person open to corruption, thus far it seems only the ‘brothers’ (priests) are the ones not asking for bribes
Interesting to see how bad their roadways are also, the main country travel through roads were very bad condition, very few tar or cemented roads and huge erosion issues.
Those that were tar were primarily old mining roads.
If everyone has the time it’s worth reading through you can see the kinda conditions they will be dealing with if they are to build proper roads for AVZ
