I do not know why some people find it difficult to accept others. During the first edition of The Voice in Francophone West Africa. I commented on a particlar show which involved a participant from Cameroun and DRC. Someone from DRC came and insulted me for not being able to speak French. Another DRC lady called me a goat. She wrote it in Lingala. Meanwhile,i have been trying to learn Lingala for years so i know some words already. We are all africans either anglo/franco/luso...if we cannot accept and tolerate ourselves well,is it non-Africans that would treat us right? I have met so many disagreeable people from the DRC but that has not made me to cancel everyone from there. For experiences are different. The other day,i heard a language in a song from DRC which is totally different from Lingala. I asked what language it is,a brother answered and gave me some hints about the language and the people that speak it and their region. The next thing,a lady jumped on the conversation and began to say all sorts about how the brother wanted to divide the country. I was like why are these people always rude,parochial and always feeling insecure? Is everything always targeted at 'attacking' DRC all the time?You people should do better.
@@clementine6580 I understand dear! Just know that people are different and one or two Congolese don’t represent the whole country. Congo has gone through a lot because of ethnicity or language group conversations that’s why many people don’t want to talk about it. And the wars going on now are based on that so just understand...if a person doesn’t feel comfortable talking about it just understand. In case you want to know anything about DRC I can help, you can hit me up on email or I can give you my Whatsapp number.
@@africancitizentrava243 Thank you for this. I am an African too. Africans have basically the same problems and are suffering from the same issues in all the regions except for some few countries. I do know that the behaviour of some few DRC does not represent what the whole nation stands for. Yet we should not make excuses for bad behaviors. I just feel you all should begin to re-orientate your people on good conduct. The challenges we have in my own country is overwhelming if I may say yet in the midst of all these,we are very warm people. We play a lot. I like the DRC and I have always told whoever cares to listen that I will visit Kinshasa soon but a little scared about their behavior though and I cannot speak French.
@@clementine6580 Congolese are among the most welcoming people in Africa. Don’t worry about not speaking French, I’m Congolese and you can see we’re interacting in English. There are thousands of Congolese like me who can speak many languages including english. It’s easy to get someone who can speak English in French speaking countries but French in English speaking countries is hard to find. Even though we’re going through a lot in Congo, Congolese are among the happiest Africans. Have you ever heard about “Mboka elengi”? It means country of happiness of pleasure...if you want to visit Congo just come and you’ll be surprised. Forget about all those social media stuffs...
Those who want to live in Butembo need to respect local people culture customs and way of life. I have been to japan saudi arabia irann israel koreas all europe and i livr e ij USA altho im from Butembo. I can guarantee you that they dontlike people who critocise their way of life Changewill come withmore development. Its the only way people change.
Yeah you’re right! But people of Butembo have to know that not everyone who doesn’t dwell there or who doesn’t know the local language is a threat to the security. I’m Congolese student in Rwanda, I have a Rwandan resident visa and that caused me problems in Butembo although that’s place is my background. And whenever I was telling someone that I study in Rwanda, they were trying to avoid me or tell me that it’s not good for me to be telling people that I study there. I was really not feeling safe in Butembo since I was detained...
Looking into your conversation with African Citizen Trava (ACT), in a way he's right. Not every non-local is a threat. I understand the need for sensitive security and I'm pleased to know, they moved so quickly responding to potential threat, and yes I feel safe around their security, if in fact that's who they are. In a different post ACT writes, they were trying to take his belongings. Here is what you and many villages (people) don't understand. The issues between different ethnic groups weren't started by your people or them. It was started by outsiders greedy for your wealth of resources gold and minerals; conflicts was (is) the only way to distract groups in the area as they walk away with wealth. Or, start civil wars (death) because they have to leave the zone like spoiled children. This amazing national region and neigbors, are filled with beautiful people under the same struggle created by outsiders. What Butembo people need to do is put a side differences of the past, reach out to their neighbors and create an unbreakable unified alliance, then; build from their, be their own government or these people may parish. I'm hoping all governments, will do what is right for all people. I'm just not the sit around type of person. African Citizen Trava, create videos of real people putting aside their differences in Rwanda intended to bring peace in various regions. Show DRC people & Rwanda people working together side by side. Good work man.
You did a good job. As a son of the region, I did not like the comment about the mono ethnicity. You presented it as if people living there were hostile to others, what is wrong because they are welcoming. If you go in a village, in any province of the DRC, you will find out that people living there are in majority from one tribe. Look at Butembo like those villages. The difference is that it grew bigger and that growth is the fruit of the people from that village, who just decided to focus on agriculture and commerce. And it is obvious that not everyone is keen to take risks of doing commerce in a place they are not used to. That is not the case when it comes to being an employee in a big company (international or national big companies/factories) or working for the government. That is why you will find diversity in other cities; and even in Butembo, when it comes to government and administrative positions (lawyers, magistrates etc.) or government companies, you will find that they are run in majority by people from other tribes. Besides, Goma was not a good example. Goma is the capital of the Province, it is meant to gather people from every region because of political and administrative activities going on there.
exactly that was my point.before he coment about NANDE to be not welcoming he should find out if people really wanted to be therer and treated hostile. I know congolese have weakness off mixing due to language barrier Unlike Tanzanian you can find Tanzanian lives far away from his original city.
Wow since 1994 you’ve never come back to Butembo? Many things have changed apart from many security issues but people of Butembo stand head high and move forward. Very soon Congo is gonna change...just let’s keep praying for our country DRCongo 🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩 Where are you living these days?
@@Lessgo00 yes it’s safe to travel to Butembo. You can fly from Europe to Goma then take another plane to Butembo. It’s a great city and safe with friendly people...check out the videos in Goma too. You’re most welcome in DRC
@@Lessgo00 no conflict in that side of the country(Butembo) And even Goma is safe apart from rebel threats but actually they’ve ceasefire. Don’t worry about the propaganda in western media...
You’re welcome dear! I wanted to meet you when I was in Butembo. Unfortunately, I got in trouble and I left the city earlier then expected. Nili pataka problem kule Bbo lakini Mungu aka saidiya tuta kutana siku moja.
Hey! Thanks for watching...yes I said that I’d talk about what happened but my mother advised me to do not. But I can share the story with you in short. When I was shooting the video I was arrested by some people who started harassing me, they knew I was not from there then they start asking me for ID and I told them that am not going to give them my ID and they’re just civilians like me. They started intimidating me but I didn’t change my decision and it saved my life...when discussing with them a police officer wanted to know why I’m surrounded by those people who was about to even beat me, I explained the situation then those men told the police that I filmed them but I told them that they are not in my video and the one who came in front said that he saw his legs in the video and started shouting at me that I’m Rwandan because of kiswahili they knew I’m from Goma, you know with all the political problems actually in Congo, in that side of the country it’s like a crime to be Rwandan, remember I refused to give them my ID(passport) first of all because I have some visa inside including my resident visa in Rwanda so, I’d be killed if they’d see anything on where it’s written rwanda on me.( this should change in my country)...after explaining everything to the police officer he told me to go but those people kept on following me. When we were far away from the police they started harassing me again and wanted to take my phone I was filming with a phone. I told them that I won’t give anyone my phone inside the market in the middle of a crowd then I asked them to delegate someone who’s gonna check my phone they refused so I refused also to give my phone. They wanted to beat me again the police off came back then they brought me to a police station. I thought I was saved but another problem arose because of the Rwandan resident visa in my passport I explained everything about the visa, passport,...apparently the police officer didn’t know a passport, a visa and even what are they for. After hours of explanation he concluded that I’m Rwandan 😂 and he was calling visa Rwandan Id, remember the visa is in a Congolese passport, my name is a name from the same territory where I was arrested but they don’t care abt that so they said I’m a spy sent by the president of that country. We called my family in the city and they asked us for $500 to be free, my aunt panicked and agreed to pay $200 what she did and I was released. I was against that decision, I was complaining and they told me to shut up if not they’ll refuse that money and bring me in prison. I knew they were about to create a crime so shut up and they did what they want then they released them. I just told them that they’re destroying our country...and I promised them to come back in the future when I’ll be responsible in the country. That what happened...
@@africancitizentrava243 you are right, acts like this does destroy relationships from one African to another. It is part of a larger problem Africans have no control of. Your bad experience told the world [who] the problem is. People from both regions shouldn't rely on bad leaders but focus on taking care of one another and building relationships. I urge you to find working relationships friends of different groups and put it on video to show, we can work & live together. All the best to you and the people of both countries, my friend.
Unfortunately I have never used that route from kampala to Butembo or vice versa. I use Goma- Kampala and kampala- Goma via Gisenyi/ Rwanda. Thanks for watching
I don’t know much about Japan. Do you have something to share with us about Japan? It’s one of the countries that I would like to visit one day. Konechiwa
Not at all dear! the problem is that Butembo is like a locked land surrounded by same tribe so, people from outside have some difficulties to adapt themselves. But there are many other people from different tribes living there without any problem...myself i had Shi friends from Bukavu, i met some hutu from Rutshuru and so many congolese from Ituri live there peacfully.
Me too i'm Nande but what i was talking about what i noticed during my stay there, i met some people from different tribes and regions unfortunately they are the absolute minority. And i also had one of my worst experience in Butembo just for having a Rwandan visa in my passport, you know with political issues and so on...
Why are you hostile towards people of.Butembo? Every country in world have monoethnic cities. Moreover being k multiethnic is not the condi5ion for development otherwise all africa india pakistan ect would be developed.
It’s my opinion but not a fact sir. I’m sorry but I had bad experience in spite the fact that am from there too. Some people should change their mentality.
Is he the one that was 'hostile' to the people of Butembo or your people should do better by allowing people mingle freely with them? Interactions bring progress. You all can't keep yourselves holed up in one corner without taking in new things and people and be expecting growth and progress. The poster talked about his experience in the city. The indigenes who are seeing this are supposed to find a way of changing the orientations of their people to become warm and receptive not that they will be attacking the poster.
