Unveiling the Heart of Africa: A Journey through the History of the Congo

Join us as we weave through the tumultuous history of the Congo. From the ancient paleolithic human settlements to the brutal colonial era under Belgian rule, and the struggle for independence led by figures like Patrice Lumumba, we delve deep into the rich tapestry of this African nation. The exploitation of its vast resources is in sharp contrast to the poverty of the people. Join us as we unravel the layers of history to reveal the essence of the Congo, a land of both triumph and tragedy and resilience.
