The Real Story of The Crisis In The Congo

February 4, 2025, by achitchcock
In today’s show originally recorded and broadcast on February 4 2025, Andy is joined by Dr. Peter Hammond for a show entitled, “The Real Story Of The Crisis In The Congo.”
We discussed: how we have had 14 members of the South African Defence Force killed in the Congo despite the fact we were told they were acting as peacekeepers; how the Congo River is the biggest river in the world according to volume and was the inspiration for Joseph Conrad’s book ‘Heart Of Darkness’ published in 1899; the United Nations history of betraying refugees in Rwanda; the Great Lakes War in the 1990’s that killed millions of people; how one crocodile can ruin a baptism; why the Belgians left the Congo; the reasons why the Congo is a failed state today; how the Treaty Of Versailles affected Africa; who is behind the unrest in Congo and what are their aims; why is the most failed state in Africa the one that has the most United Nations ‘Peacekeepers’; and many other topics.
