After watching this documentary video,I am very satisfied with my life.... Thanks to God you gave me everything...

Congo is the heart of Africa,a country with rich minerals and climate.Always praying for you and lasting peace.Much love from Kenya my brothers from another mother

much love from Kenya, my dream is to live to see Congo become an African superpower

Some of the world's best driver, hardworking and struggling people are here .

I hat's off to the man who came of out his comfort zone and got on board just to show us the real #Congo... unbelievable

This is so painful to see human beings in such a tough conditio. Love and prayers from Tanzania.🇹🇿🇹🇿

Here i am thinking in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 we have the worst living conditions now i can see how truly blessed we are,God bless this Congolese nation

I used to think that Kenya is a full busket of trouble and difficulties but after watching this documentary, and the other one (River Congo), I just realised that we're blessed if not with everything but with much more basic necessities to be proud of

2:24: "700 _(congolese franc)_ for this shirt! You right there! you are pregnant! come here, i have stuffs for babies!" 3:10: "As it's blocked with stuffs of some passengers, we can't access the main entrance, we enter from the sides.. here's is the restroom, we can't get in there, there are passengers and luggage inside, We really have difficulties, some peoples do their things in buckets and plastic bags and throw it, that how we have to do." 4:08: "We went up here because there's no enough place in the wagons, that's why we're up here. we help ourselves. That's how we congolese travel." 4:53: "There we are, all of this is because of the mud, just the mud." 6:11: "If there's no problem, yes in 8-9 hours we get there, 7h50 if it's good. in the 90s we did it in 4 hours, but the rail went really bad and the maintenance services don't do they job as they should." 7:40: "Here there's no bunk, we spent the night sitting down! with 3 persons on each side we could be aerated. but there's 6 persons on the each side, so with 10 or 12 persons inside the cabin, the life conditions are pitiful." 8:09: "There's no place to put our luggage, that why we hang them somewhere. The roof is torn and when it's the raining season, or when it's raining, it's really hard to be here." 8:35: My wife and i often take the train, here she is, and here is our baby, she gave birth while travelling on the train, our baby's name is Consolade _(in english: consoling)_ because he's consoling us from all of this." 9:02: "Walking here is complicated, especially with all those luggage, walking in here is really annoying" 9:21: When the train is moving sometime the bumpers open and when it close, it can easily cut your foot, and when it open largely, you can fall in between and you easily lose your life." 10:19: "It's forbidden to be up here, but we still climb anyway, we have to go to work even though we're risking our lives! the rails are really bad, you feel the shakes? for 8 years i've travelled by train and i've faced many risks; the wagon derailed, peoples died.. i had like 8 accidents. anyway i'm not scared, if the wagon derail again, god will protect me." 11:00: "I fell on the rails, i almost died, i was lucky god protected me, because of god i'm here talking to you." 12:07: "I already got a branch in the eyes, it's dangerous to get these in the eyes. you could be one-eyed." 12:35: "Even the road, look at the road! this truck still trying to get in the villages! *[yells]* "Hey! driver! my brothers!"" 13:51: "To drive on such road, you need a off road vehicle with good traction, if you drive a minivan in this mud, you'll be stuck and in trouble." 14:27: "Because of the road's conditions, here is solidarity between the drivers, we must help him out. after we helped them later on we may breakdown of fuel or pop a tire as well, we must help each other before we continue our journey." 15:40: "There's a red flag" 15:58: "Hello sir, i stopped you my wife is sick please, she need a surgery - okay i'll take her" 16:43: "We're paid but not very good, we're paid with 80 months late.. or more. We go to the field to find something to eat. we don't know where to go, if there was something, or somewhere we can find an opportunity, we had abandoned all of this" 17:52: "Look ahead! "snaking" begin! I had to slow down so we can pass safely, it does like a snake, that is "snaking". When it's hot, the rails expands, as it expand it moves, especially when there's no ballasts. it's really dangerous if the "snaking" is accentuated, there is a risk we derail." 18:38: "The wagon derailed, peoples stacked luggage on the wagon, it was overloaded and derailed. that was the cause, it happened 6 months ago. It happen often because of the rails, the rail is not good at all, it's scary.. it's scary..." 19:29: "Something is slowing the train" 20:09: "Those traffickers, they cut this! between the wagon, you cut it the train stop because there's no vacuum, then someone have to reconnect the hose so we can continue." 21:02: "So, this is our toolbox ah, we have wrenches and measuring devices, we got some spare parts, this is an alternator. we got headlamps! to illuminate like car's headlamp at night. To avoid the worst, we tow the machinery to the depot, like somebody we brought to the hospital." 22:24: "500.. 500" [...] "150 _(congolese francs)_ buy my soldering irons!!" [...] "500..500 *cough" 22:55: For us traffickers, not getting on this train is worse than being sick, this is our job! We are like miners digging to extract the matter, we must be on this train! our kids go to school and eat because of this train!" 23:32: "Oee congolese peoples! i'm going to kinshasa, get on let's go!" 24:04 This is my wife 😗. i'm a well formed congolese.. There are people in these villages who can't find clothes, salt, oil. we the traffickers we help them!" 25:09: "There's a crossing, another machine is incoming, there's a second track it's covered by the grass." 😇

I have read in my geography lessons that DRC is one of the mineral rich , geographicaly diversed african nation. Yes its true, when i go through beautiful landscapes and the country has its unique flora and fauna. But i find the journeys especially on road and railwaysystems terrfic!. Whatever the struggle they have, the Congolese takes their pride with pleasnt smile on their faces.. I wish it could be better in the coming years..

Thank you for this video. you shown how painfully other countries poor people are living and surviving with difficulties 🙏😒

The religious woman singing out with optimism as the train traverse through the treacherous journey truly a tough journey for the toughest, much love prayers from Kenya for political and economic stability of DRC,🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

Been there..I speak one of these languages lingala and french too..if God exists somewhere it is in Congo for sure..how people survive each day only God knows

This is not how humans should live, feeling suffocated just looking at this..god bless these people

Am Kenyan 🇰🇪 ,we speak swahili but Congolese swahili is unique ,sweet and funny ...napappenda sana bana ba Congolese...French sounds sweet

Congo, what a beautiful country with lively people out there. Love and respect from Ethiopia.

Am watching from Kenya 🇰🇪 and I should be grateful for life. This people are passing through alot imagine those people up there on the train even women with children

As a Congolese, I've experienced this when I was Seven years old, that was so horrible and I think it's was the same train 😢 now I'm 27 years old and nothing has changed. May God help my country 🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩😭😭😭

Saya sendirian di sini. Semoga ke depan kehidupan warga Congo semakin baik. Infrastruktur juga semakin baik.

I never emagine there is people who lived in such a miserable life. But see their smile in this hard life...I salute to their tolerance and courage.

Happy Faces ❤️ They are hardworking for their living ❤️ Loves from India ❤️

12:15 I like the demeanor of the pilot. He seems a gentleman.

Amazing doc as always. Translation voice over will make it even better to understand what the locals are saying.

Mr. Molango is poorly paid, in fact he is rarely paid. Those line touches my heart...

I love the Swahili in a French twist interesting .🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

Setelah melihat video ini saya merasa bahwa seharusnya saya sangat bersyukur hidup di Indonesia. Dengan Infrastruktur dan fasilitas umum yang sangat memadai. Saya tidak bisa berfikir bagaimana seandainya saya menjadi mereka, apakah saya akan kuat atau menyerah karena kesulitan tersebut. Semoga Kongo segera diberi kemudahan infrastruktur dan segalanya. Kasihan melihat mereka seperti itu. Kondisi ini bahkan seperti bukan pada zaman sekarang, tapi seperti zaman 60'an di negara kami (yang bahkan tidak pernah saya alami).

Watching from Jamaican our prayers are with you all, better days ahead

I worked in DRC... I was at Tenke and Kolwezi... Such a good country and good peoples...

When my train gets late for 10 min, i feel like annoyed. But after seeing this video, even if it gets late by 1 day also i will be happy.

This is so painful to see human beings in such a tough condition. Love and prayers from INDIA.

An impressive documentary bringing out serious challenges facing Africa hope this will change soon for better transport network.

Sangat menyedihkan sekali melihatnya,, tp bagi mereka itu hal yg biasa ,, Semoga selalu bahagia untuk kalian yg di Afrika sana dlm keadaan apapun

HATS OFF TO THIS LEGEND Mr. Molongo

When you realise that the cameraman took all the risks of his life too 👍🏽🙏🏽

After watching this moving documentary I can confirm that my own Kenya 🇰🇪 is truly a first world country.

Your efforts in filming these documentries are commendable. It provides a glimpse into the hardships faced by a huge majority of this planets inhabitants. 👍🏼🙂

Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪

Cost of war, years of war and conflict have reduced the Congo to this. Even after some years of relative peace they are yet to recover and build some reliable infrastructure

Mengingatkan sy pada th 1970 an naik kereta dari Banten ke Jakarta. Salam persaudaraan dari Indonesia

I saw this video before coming to kolwezi , now i am in kolwezi ,everyday i pass by from kolwezi railway station to my office.again today i watch this to see kolwezi

Wonderful documentary 👏👏👏👏👏big Hello from Paulo in Fortaleza Brazil. I would love to visit Congo one day

I'm amazed by the land fertility

About 25 years ago our train transportation was also like that. But our government with a full heart change the management atc atc...and now our train transportation was very nice. If you're going to our country and you're using a train you will find anything happy every time. Best regards from Indonesia the archipelago country. Still excited for my friend Congo.

#LoveCongolese People # most Brave and Resilient 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I'd honestly love to experience this. I love adventure and this is real adventure. It makes one appreciate life.
