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.

    Why do we still spread this nonsense of King Leopold owning the Congo,put it blunt colonized,killed millions.our problems as African started with European.the day we wake up and realise this Africa will prosper.start by taking back our history.lets narrate our true history.i get annoyed when Europeans think they know more about our continent than us born and bred

    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

Saudia Arabia vows ‘serious response’ to Houthi attacks and other stories | Global News Podcast

Published

on



The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have continued to fire missiles towards Saudi Arabia, after a number of deadly attacks on Riyadh’s main international airport.

Almost all flights to and from the airport have been suspended. The Houthis say their actions are in retaliation for “brutal Saudi aggression” against areas they control in western Yemen.

Saudi Arabia’s energy minister Prince Abdul Aziz bin Salman told a conference in Riyadh that the seriousness of the attacks required an equally serious response from the Kingdom.
