In the world there are countries in which the two souls of the population, a month earn less than $10.
The people of the African Congo (Democratic Republic) surprised by its versatility and magnificence, talent and joie de vivre, despite the fact that it is the poorest country in the world.
Of the Congo, which until the mid 90-ies of the last century was called Zaïre, quietly prospered, without paying attention to the geopolitical situation. In neighboring Rwanda in 1994, genocide broke out, which later escalated into a bloody civil war. Fighting, by coincidence, moved into the territory of Zaire, involving nine States. A war that forever split Zaire, created new States, DR Congo and Republic of the Congo. The speech today will focus on the first country.
GDP per capita in 2009 was about $300 (227 th place in the world, below was only Zimbabwe’s). And this despite the huge reserves of natural resources. Congo was just starting to build up, as in 2012, became the scene of another bloody war, which has involved Federal troops, UN peacekeepers and rebel mercenaries, supported by the regimes of Rwanda and Uganda. Despite their problems, the Congolese people continue to live and not to pay attention to “trifles”.
