Congo: The pygmies of Boyanga – BBC News
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.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

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
