• Inside DR Congo
The Democratic Republic of the Congo in the heart of Africa, especially the eastern region of the DR Congo, is sometimes called "the epitome of darkness in the world.
The darkness of eastern DR Congo is rarely reported in the major media. Through my reporting in DR Congo, I was once again convinced that the darkness in Congo is too deep.
Why is DR Congo called the "darkness of the world"? I will explain three reasons, based on my coverage in the field.

Hi Kanta, I think the underlying ideas of this video are great, but I think you may be loosing some retention due to the flow of the language in earlier parts, I found certain prases being repeated multiple times, I would be happy to help you review your scripts for future videos if you want (for free), I think think this content is great, with a bit of tweaking it could be even better.
Thank you for your kind comments! The transcript of this video was originally made in Japanese, which was later translated into English. Some of the problems in the text may be due to that. I am struggling with English because I am not a native speaker, but I will try to produce a better transcript. Thank you for your suggestion.
Sounds a lot like Colombia just sayin'
izrahaeL biggest income is diamonds industry, diamond lords in Congo are white izraeli millionaires.
Things is though mate, I went and checked on reportage of the Congo from the BBC. They report on the Congo once or twice per week, and that is just one "major media" outlet. You didn't actually check how often major media companies report on the Congo, you simply assumed.
There is very substantial global reporting on the Congo, but, unfortunately, nobody really cares. In fact, I'm going to nudge this back at you... there's is substantial reporting on the Congo and **you** didn't notice it.
So, I will ask you a question, and it's answer may make the basis for a video... Why should I care about the Congo?
I'm not being combatative, I genuinely expect you to have a good answer.
You're making a lot of assumptions mate, and peeling them back, might make good content.
Thank you for your comment. I apologize for the delay in responding. I have been in bed with a fever for the past two days.
It is true that major media outlets such as the BBC and French-language media regularly report on the DRC. However, when they narrow their coverage to a specific region, the eastern Congo, and focus on its conflict and poverty, the coverage is significantly less frequent. It is difficult to confirm whether there is coverage once or twice a week, but it is true that compared to wars in other countries, such as Ukraine or Palestine, the amount of coverage is far less. In fact, the conflict in eastern Congo is sometimes referred to by some researchers and analysts as the “forgotten conflict” because of the lack of coverage.
As you point out, the reality is that even when there is coverage, few people are interested in the situation in Eastern Congo. However, minerals such as gold, tantalum, tin, and tungsten mined in Eastern Congo are essential for the manufacture of smartphones and computers, which are indispensable for our daily lives, and the situation in Eastern Congo is also connected to our lives, although indirectly.
The issue of so-called conflict minerals in Eastern Congo is so complex that it is difficult to explain the whole picture here, so I hope you will watch the other videos I have uploaded.
Thank you very much for your interest in my activity.

You gave me a reason to care about you. Nicely done. You've got a sub. I still don't know why I would care about conflict in the Congo.
I am Anglo-Irish, trucking through my 50s, and I live in West Africa. I know why the war in Ukraine is important to my homeland and why we are actually engaged in that conflict as a primary concern. I know why the conflict in Gaza is important to my homeland... Both these conflicts impact my country and its political environment.
African voices have been loud this year. Firm in their purpose, which I admire. They don't want European assistance. They really have been quite clear. We are scum, and we should keep out.
So, given conflicts in which I might in some small way affect the outcome, where my help is wanted, and where things may actually be improved... There has been conflict in the Congo for as long as I have been aware of the place. Can this ever end? Should I not, in good conscience, leave this for Africans to resolve, as they have requested?
You have convinced me to watch your material through.
I saw your comment about your English. It is of a higher standard than most native speakers.
Thank you. We are lucky to have people like you in the world.
You don't need to reply to this comment. You're a busy chap. Get on with what you're doing.
Good work bro❤
I wish more people could see these videos to spread awareness
