Sadly, when it comes to most areas of Africa, the old French proverb applies: “Plus ca change, plus c’est la mem chose!”
(The more things change, the more they stay the same!”
Unfortunately for the Congo, the British were not the ones who introduced the benefits of civilization.
Exterminate all the brutes.
