The Helios Biblios Hour : Dr. Yaa Lengi M. Negmi Congo Crisis

Yaa-Lengi Meema Ngemi , translator of Cheikh Anto Diop's Civilization or  barbaraism ... Speaking of his own country Congo, Zaire, he said that 10 million have been killed.In all, more than 5.4 million people have died in Congo since the war began in 1998, according to the most recent survey’s estimate, the latest in a series completed by the International Rescue Committee, an American aid organization. Nearly half of the dead were children younger than 5 years old.

 Over 250,000 people have been internally displaced, in the provinces of North and South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.In

Uganda  alone There are over three million Congolese refugees .This is one of the wealthiest country in the planet. Congo is so wealthy in minerals and resources that it has approximately 80% of the world production of

 “ Coltan ” and that’s the bloody coltan

Still, the plight of the Congolese people has not made a blip on the radar in the US media.  The World, though, is silent over 1.7 million deaths, a number larger that the Rwandan genocide in 1994. Why the silence? How come the American mainstream media has not raised hell or demanded action? Is this a repeat of the 1960’s when the American Government and its CIA engaged in covert operations to kill foreign heads of states and destabilize foreign governments that they did not like? What is happening in the Congo comes close to that. The 1.7 million Congolese have died with the financial, military and political blessings and help of the US Government, Western Europe (The Paris Club), and the mining Conglomerates. Who own the media outlets? Who finance the politicians’ campaigns?
