The Full History of Congo's Never-Ending War

Описание: Why is the Democratic Republic of Congo always at war?
This video explores the real reason behind one of the deadliest and longest-running conflicts in modern history. The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the most resource-rich countries on Earth, yet it remains trapped in cycles of violence, poverty, and instability.

From its vast reserves of cobalt, coltan, copper, and gold — all essential to modern technology like smartphones and electric vehicles — to the devastating legacy of colonialism and the brutal rule of King Leopold II, we dive deep into the history that shaped today’s conflict.

We also look at how neighboring countries, foreign corporations, and armed militias continue to exploit Congo’s wealth, fueling a war that has claimed over 6 million lives.
