Mobutu wasn't as horrible from 1965 to 1975. Gee, I wonder if the austerity policies of the seventies and eighties made things go from bad to worse in the developing world.

I forgot that Uranium was a key resource during the Cold War, which is why the US got involved in Congo after independence. So whether rubber in the 1890s, Uranium in the 1960s, and rare earths like Coltan in the 2020s.

Het boek leest vlot. De beschrijving is interessant en kleurrijk. Soms vermoed ik wat dichterlijke overdrijving - de monding van de Congo rivier lijkt niet zo eng op Google Maps, een bruine Congo 'pluim' van 800 km in de oceaan???, Kinshasa lijkt meer ontwikkeld dan beschreven, ... Nog wat verder lezen in de komende dagen met een open kritische geest.
