    Should the DRC and Congo Republic join forces and form one super country? Also, which other African countries and/or cities should I compare next?

    The Congo has always had bad luck.
    Rich in natural resources Belgium under king Leopold the second claimed it as the Congo free state and did quite possibly some of the most evil things in European history and just an awful guy.
    Plauged by poor leadership and corrupt politicians the Congo often is taken advantage of by other nations.
    With correct leadership and reforms it could be one of the richest nations in Africa and even the world but only time will tell.

      @@leroi1297 Oh dear, sorry I upset you. Are you from Africa? There are some well managed, peaceful parts of Africa, but even there, the threat of attack from some warlord or other is ever present. Much of Africa is under constant alert, from the West right through the centre of the great continent to the East coast.You claim it's a war in the Congo, fought by soldiers, but last I heard soldiers don't attack peaceful villagers with machetes, cutting off limbs and heads, and taking young boys to serve the warlord.
      You might not like the idea, mate but it's the facts. It's safer than living in some parts of the US, certainly, but compared to civilised places, it's an appalling situation.
      I have another friend, from DRC, who's been living in a refugee camp in Uganda for some years. Uganda had a wave of attacks only a month or so ago and it's one of the more peaceful nations. Several dozen people hacked to death and decapitated.

      On you question whether we think both countries should join forces, my answer is:
      I think all Africa, not only the 2 Congos should join up and become one single super COUNTRY. If that super Africa, is industrialised, it will outclass China 🇨🇳 and 🇺🇸 US.
      You may also investigate and evaluate and assess how would a Super Africa as one super power would look like and economically perform.

      A "United Congo" would eventually be Africa's largest nation;
      - Nigeria is collapsing internally among the northern muslims & southern christians, while their northern lands are getting hotter and less able to support food crops growth and water. I won't be surprised if the nation splits into half.
      - Egypt is contending with rising hot temperatures and less food supply to fuel its growth thanks to climate change.
      - Ethiopia also looks set to split apart with their ongoing internal wars and increased desertification.
      Which thus leaves a rich-in-resources United Congo with plenty of forests and water to fuel its growth.

    For your record DRC has 450 spoken dialects as opposed to the 250, and you forgot to mention that it’s the wealthiest country on the planet in terms of its natural resources incl; fresh water minerals, oil arable land and of course its population with the estimated $23 trillion only in mineral reserve, a combined gdp of the US/EU economies in fact, it currency in the 60th /70th was 1fc=$2, the planned hydroelectric dam named grand inga project on Congo river has an estimated potential of 40000 megawatts of electric power output able to supply the entire continent with parts of Europe, the DRC is very intimidating to the west especially US and Europe; because of it size, natural resources and younger population hence destabilised politically by the West, It is not like any other country in terms of its resources an geographical location, Back in the days during the in the beginning of industrialisation; DRC drove the world economy through it rubber, during the Cold War most of I munitions used was made from then DRC cobalt, the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bomb was made in DRC . When talking about poverty; this has been imposed through proxy leadership by the West powers so they can keep their hands on free natural resources of the DRC.

    From Congo (Republic). Great video indeed. But at 8:29 saying that both countries used to be part of the Kongo Kingdom, that's not very accurate. The old Kongo kingdom was, like many other kingdoms and chieftaincies in the region, split between the current countries (Angola, Congo, DR Congo, and Gabon). So the countries could not be part of a single Kingdom (as you've mentioned few of the others later on) but instead it would be more accurate to say that "The two countries have portions of the Kongo Kingdom.

Is it out of touch with what we would now recognize as acceptable? Yes. But it does tell the real life prescriptive of the situation. Have you heard of the book "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe. It's the counter perspective to "The Heart of Darkness".

      @@mattlukasik2486 False! The way J. Conrad portrayed congolese in his book constitutes the narrative about Congo until today in the mainstream media and English world. His book must be banned and excluded from the english literature.

    In an overdeveloped world it's nice to see significantly large piece of land so rich in natural beauty still exist. The DRC actually seems to be making a decent amount of progress with just one major industry and in very little time. They are actually making a significant amount of money from their mining sector, i think the DRC will be alright in the long run as its neighboring countries have a vested interest in the stability and relative peace in the DRC. It's hard to control crime/insurgence in a country that (believe it or not) is actually bigger than the EU while also having developed so much later. They will need to help each other in the African community, hopefully through mutual collaboration with its Neighbours, it can be developed in the next century. The Congo is insane because it seems to have just about every feature you could want in an "ideal" patch of land to build from, including arid land, a volcano, snow on their mountains, so many carbon capture devices (trees and vegetation and tons of fresh water), An incredibly diverse rainforest hosting Silverback gorilla's/lions/ tropical birds ect, and a sequence of waterfalls that look like they were drawn up. Then there's that 80bn dam that was proposed that could power all of the Congo and provide 40 percent extra power to the rest of Africa. Hopefully the opportunity opens up for me to visit someday but, safety in such a large patch of land would be tough considering i would definitely want to roam outside of the cities.

    Seems a bit inappropriate that just after you started talking about Leopold's reign of terror cutting off hands I got the suggested video "Why do we shake hands?" 😬

      So it's understandable why Angola doesn't want to lose it.
