Money, happiness and eternal life - Greed (2/2) | DW Documentary - 2017 Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 28 Views • 5 years ago

We're never happy with what we have. But excessive consumption is damaging our planet. Could greed lead to the collapse of the climate as well as our society? Find out in Part 2 of GREED - A FATAL DESIRE.

From Buddhists and bankers to Eskimos and psychologists, we explore the phenomenon of greed with people from all walks of life. How can it be defined? What makes us greedy? And what are the repercussions?

People like to have a lot of stuff because it gives them the feeling of living forever," says American social psychologist Sheldon Solomon. He thinks we have to come to terms with our own mortality before we can break the cycle.

Are there other ways to feel happy and content? Can we simply stop being greedy by changing the way we think?

Rwanda-backed M23 Rebels Capture Kavumu Airport, Move Closer to Bukavu | Firspost Africa | N18G

Rwanda-backed M23 rebels continue their advance in DR Congo's mineral-rich east. The rebels have seized the airport serving the city of Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu province. This represents a major strategic victory for the rebels, as it cuts off air supply routes for DRC army and humanitarian operations in the region. The rebels have so far North Kivu's capital Goma, the largest city in mineral-rich east. They have now entered neighbouring South Kivu and have seized Kavumu, where the army had set up a defensive line. After breaching this they can easily target South Kivu's capital Bukavu. Rebels' advance come as African leaders are gathering to discuss the crisis at the AU summit.

Congo: The MOST  Brutal and Ruthless European Colony | 2
Congo: The MOST Brutal and Ruthless European Colony | 2 Kwabena Ofori Osei 30 Views • 2 years ago

“A secret society of murderers with a king for a ringleader”.

In 1885 King Leopold of Belgium; an awkward, ruthless, selfish man, was recognised as the sovereign of the Congo. Long determined to carve out his very own private colonial domain, he had alighted upon the Congo - Africa’s vast and unplundered interior. With the help of the explorer Henry Morton Stanley, who had found a way to circumnavigate the Congo’s formerly insurmountable rapids, he concocted a cunning scheme to legally make it his own, while casting himself as a civilising saviour. Yet, despite his ostensibly philanthropic motivations, Leopold’s goal was always profit. More specifically, ivory, and later rubber, and before long a thriving hub of industry had been established in the Congo, bustling with soldiers, traders and missionaries. Meanwhile and most significantly, tens of thousands of Congolese people were being beaten, coerced and essentially enslaved into harvesting and carrying the riches of their land for their European oppressors. Their treatment was barbaric, the conditions in which they were made to live grotesque, and their suffering unimaginable. It was there, in King Leopold's Congo, that for years some of the worst violations of human life in all of human history were perpetrated. A terrible, secret heart of darkness, Until, at last, a young shipping clerk in Antwerp stumbled across something that would change the course of history forever...
