  1. lol..these guys are not Congolese…also he is not the “village chief” his the rebel commander..I thought it was very interesting when they switched from what ever Congolese language they were speaking To Kinyarwanda when things got intense, I also noticed a radio “walkie talkie” in their hands, interestingly enough some of the guys in this vid were being told to keep quiet on many occasions…..all that weed smoking and weed farming. its clearly a copping mechanism…they probably have trouble sleeping with all the crimes they’ve probably committed weed is essential for their mental health . Yea this guy is super brave for going out there. Much respect this is what journalism is all about.

  2. I feel like you have put these people's lives at risk. It's as if you are a cop. I feel like you have exploited them, made them vulnerable and risked their livelihood.

  3. i am watching this while im smoking weed, its so wild that they have to do this just to survive yo, i sold weed for a long time by choice and it really hits different when you figure out (while stoned af) that the mbuti pygmies have to survive like that. 💯

  4. If just United State. Send them money. 1%. From their money. This sent to Ukraine. For Bloodbath. They can help so much people. In this. Country. So sad. Seems like nobody gives a damn about people like them. How awful.

  5. Hey buddy, I'm sorry I have a question for you. You speak in English with them. But they speak in tango. Do you understand them? Or they understand you. Can They. speak English too?

  6. bana mimi nimeshtuka kuskia kiswahili hapa sasa adi nimekimbia comments looking for any kenyan that might have related the same thing😅😂😂😂❤❤❤❤but anyway kiswahili kitukuzwe africa yote

  7. omg … i legit shed tears when the woman beside Kiri talked about sometimes she resorts to prostitution, and kiri interjected that prostitution doesn't generate half the income weed does. wow.. makes me want to nominate kiri for some kind of award..
