Congo: The pygmies of Boyanga – BBC News

Published

on



Go hunting in the forest with pygmies who still live a very traditional way of life.

Their elders remember the brutal colonial time under the Belgian King Leopold II.

His men would force them to collect rubber from wild forest vines – and amputate limbs if they didn’t collect enough.

    So instead of showing some cool stuff like them hunting a pig, you instead used most of the clip to show some scammer telling you a made up sob story in hopes you'd give him a bunch of free $hit. Sad!

    It is my belief that the Pygmies and the Aborigines have the most pure, original earthly human DNA.

    The rest of us, particularly European and Asiatic peoples, have the most Alien DNA and are closer to the Annunaki.

    So the BBC didn't think it important that The Pygmies had more recently suffered ethnic cleansing including rape and Cannibalism. They didn't mention how most pygmies are now used as slaves by the Congolese. Their only interest was the bad white men over a hundred years before. Poor reporting as a result of a group of priviledged middle class journalists that have a guilt complex.

    Of course the BBC has to bring up colonialism. What about how the Bantus have exterminated 70% of their population? Not gonna mention that BBC?

    They have lots of ppl with that statured throughout the world especially in Asia and no, this is just due to children having kids at a very young age which was the reason for their small statured. It has nothing to do with African ethnicities

Five years on from the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan | BBC News

Published

on



It has been five years since the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan, as western forces left, imposing their extreme, ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam on millions of people.

Their return to power brought relative peace to the country after two decades of war.

But Afghan women have been erased from public life. Girls are banned from school from the age of 12, and aren’t allowed to go to university.

Public parks are also off limits to women – and they can’t travel abroad without a male companion.
