http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/congo : International logging companies are causing social chaos and wreaking environmental havoc in the Democratic Republic of Congo, home of the world’s second largest rainforest.
Our film reveals how the World Bank, by far the largest donor to the DRC, is failing to stop this destruction whilst the rainforest is being sold off under the illusion that it will alleviate poverty in one of the poorest countries on Earth.

@marklosextremus Ok, can you clarify this a little? The only comments that get deleted from this board are those which are racist and abusive. I make no apologies for that and will continue to do so when necessary. People are free to debate and disagree with each other here, but that can easily be done without resorting to abuse.

Magnificent country,shame about whats happening!
The thing is these …
The thing is these people do not want money because after the logging companies have come and employed them and given them money they leave and they cannot do anything with the money. These people value the rainforest because it provides them with everything they need to live. And so should we, what really is money? It has no value, nature is worth 100x more than money will ever be.
no. only us can …
no. only us can change this through education, discussing among us, and finding a solution. do not wait for external help or invisible forces to help us. we are waiting for 2000 years. 1300 arab slavery and 400 european slavery, and the remaning being as the bottom of society worldwide. So, it is up to us. no religion, only knowlege.

sonofthedestroyer,
Thank you very much. We need to get the word out. We have to expose the individuals who are profiting from the exploitation of Africa, and how they are doing it. Other than Keith Harmon Snow (AllThingsPass /com), also check out Stephen Gowans at gowans.wordpress /com.

Wow!The Congo is a really beautiful counrty, however it is sad that it is all overshadowed by the bad things that are going on there.

I love the Congo and all the unique wildlife in it. I just wish I could visit it, but I doubt it will ever happen. I hope greedy ignorant people in power will recognize what I recognize and treat it with more respect?

Hold on my beautiful black brothers and sisters. God is on his way to help us soon. We will rule once again in justice with Yahshua. The body have to die so sin can die, but we will be raised and live 4 ever.

Western news …
Western news reports will only report on the sensationalist things that Africans are reported to do to other Africans, but they will never follow the money trail to their own capitals. Or even follow the trail up to the ownership of these concessions in the DRC itself.
Elwyn Blattner was likely even involved with the assassination of Patrice Lumumba.
Odd of course that …
Odd of course that even this documentary does not touch on the main logger in the DRC. Google:
Elwyn Blattner
The Blattners have been involved in the corrupt exploitation of the Congo when it was still called Zaire.

omg this was i couldent eaven watch past 2 seconds.
P.S you all.
May Jesus Christ …
May Jesus Christ have mercy on Africa, I’m weeping in my heart because of this video. This is none other than colonialism rearing its insidious head all over again. How long will we Africans have to deal with the greed and reckless disregard of the West for our blessed land and people. May God severely and thoroughly punish the West. It’s already started with this ‘global’ financial meltdown. God taught the West a lesson in WWI, WWII, and the Cold War, but the next one coming will finish…
i’ll thank you to …
i’ll thank you to shut up about my race, thank you very much.
you know, it was possible to say that paragraph WITHOUT the racist remark.

If you look at the arms closely you’ll see that it was made in Russia or China and not the west. Second China is becoming the biggest consumer of Africa’s natural resources and even supplying the arms for the blacks to kill each other and nobody seems to notice……..
