Democratic Republic of the Congo

A country in central africa and among the poorest countries in the world. Like much of Africa, it's capable of alot but has been conflicted with war and political corruption. It's rich mineral deposits were part of the reason for the Congolese Civil Wars which is what has destroyed any chance of political and economic growth.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo could be a much better place if it weren't for the constant crime and war
