The country has been ignore by the world, rather abandoned the "HUMAN BEINGS" there. Those are roads I went through. For 70% of the congolese, owning a bicycle is a luxury. In cities, 3 meals a day is luxury, education level has dropped, 90% of the congolese have never known what a tarmac road looks like... but there are quanties of natural resources for which they are victimised as the powerful ones scrumble over those minerals to conrol. Give a chance to Congo and its people. I give thanks to the person who has reported these pictures of realities in the DR Congo.

It is refreshing - albeit heart wrenching - to see an unbiased and honest account. The true nature of a developing country's struggles is a fantastic reminder of things we shamefully take for granted. Keep up the great work! PS- Kudos for including Hwy 101. I happen to live in a bit of a 'hog wallow' on that picturesque highway!! Lane- Quite an insightful article. It is refreshing - albeit heart wrenching - to see an unbiased and honest account.
