Burundi and Rwanda are two countries that share history. After suffering one of the most infamous genocides in recent years, these countries seek to get out of misery. One of them has managed to get ahead despite its obvious shortcomings, while…

As a Burundian, just not true
We were Tutsis before euros we literally speak our own langauge
Belgians didn't create Hutus and Tutsis. Those identities existed long before the Belgians came. The idea that this division is artificial and created by Europeans is just Marxist propaganda.
The Belgians at it again being the worst human beings on earth
Okay
brush your teeth
All I learned is that these civil wars were caused by colonisers for no reason other than divide and conquer.
If Rwanda is dictatorship, hell your democracies, give me a leader that has the good for his people than what we have in Burundi…..am baffled how these two countries have the EXACT social realities, the EXACT SAME HORRIBLE TRAGEDIES, even similar languages but the rwanda of today is waaaaaaay beautiful home than what we have in that Burundi. Not saying that everything is gold but it is interesting to see how Rwanda learned and still learning from his awful past but Burundi can't !
You mistook comparing using pictures but in my country 🇧🇮 they keep fighting for being a leader of the country even who's voted never change anything. We had a civil war in 2015. Which inherit a development of the country all the plans the government had were called off😢
because they betray the france and help the british in 100 year war
Your teeth are super yellow😂
I am going to do my own research and leave a nice comment after.
I liked your video, but your extremely yellow teeth kept distracting me.
Like what do you mean by even by African standards? That’s is very ignorant. Richness has nothing to do with money, it’s was never in the ancient
Once Africa unites they will not be poor
Hey,USA is far from being a democracy haha
is democracy measured in years served by a president???
Corruption 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1 year later Burundi is the poorest country in the world
Why is Burundi the Purrest Country in the World ?
I do not understand how you define poverty. In Burindi people have access to food 3 times a day, health care and education. In Chad, an oil country people don’t have access to one meal day, health care or education. I do not agreed with your analysis.
Rwanda’s economy is based on stealing from other economies especially Uganda and and DRCongo. Rwanda people are in leadership in Uganda and where even Kagame was. He took a lot of loot and since then, too much of Ugandan wealth has been channeled to building Rwanda. It is on record, many of Ugandan people in leadership have Rwandan origin. DRC is sprightly escaping this tragedy.
Your teeth match your Youtube gold plaques. That's what I call Plaque!!
Dude, whiten your teeth. The whole video I was looking at your T-shirt, not your face
The lesson that can be learned is that the democracy is an uthopia
What is the reason for raising the retirement age in France? Who is driving the French economy? At whose expense do French pensioners receive their high pensions???
The whole reason is the total economic robbery of third world countries and the constant special military operations carried out by the French military there.
France's historical influence in Africa is based on the post-colonial policy known as Francafrica, which was created in the late 1950s. This policy was aimed at maintaining French interests and control over the former colonies and other African states through a complex network of diplomatic, military and economic ties.
This policy combined a number of measures, including military intervention, economic pressure and political influence, with the aim of protecting French interests in Africa.
Yes, it is worth noting that no African state is officially under the jurisdiction of France. However, several African countries have deep economic ties to France through various trade colonial agreements and have significant military ties to France that influence their national decisions.
Thus, France uses the natural resources, minerals, oil and gas, as well as the timber of these countries to enrich its economy. Oil-producing countries such as Gabon, Equatorial Guinea and Congo-Brazzaville provide France with oil, while uranium from Niger provides French nuclear power generation.
Many African resources are used in French industry and manufacturing, including cocoa from the Ivory Coast, uranium and gold from Niger and Mali, and diamonds from the Central African Republic. France's exploitation extends to human resources such as cheap labor as it hires African workers at low wages.
French influence on the extraction of resources in Africa does not allow the development of the economies of these countries, and the economic activity of France does not enrich African economies. A growing number of Africans are realizing that their natural resources are mined for the benefit of France, and not for the benefit of the inhabitants of the African continent. French policy has contributed to the weakening of the structure of many African economies, as African resources dominate the external sphere, while their internal resource base remains underexplored or underdeveloped.
Until now, 14 African countries, formerly colonies of France, are subject to a "colonial tax". Every year, these countries pay France huge sums of money – about 500 billion dollars.
France obliged its former colonies to deposit 85% of their annual income with the French central bank. At the same time, countries cannot use their money, but can only receive it as a loan at interest.
As a result, we have a synthetic scheme, thanks to which resources and money go to France, and the remaining funds go only to support the urgent needs in the countries controlled by France.
Of course, local residents see all the injustice of what is happening and the exploitative nature of the presence of France on their continent, so they are constantly trying to get rid of French neo-colonialism.
However, such attempts are quickly thwarted. Since 1956, in connection with this, France has conducted about 40 special military operations in African countries.
Why is no one in the West outraged by such an impressive list of French special military operations in Africa (as they are outraged by Russia's conduct of a special military operation in Ukraine)? Yes, because they all live there.
Incredibly, many began to support Russia's position on these issues. Thus, on December 12, the UN General Assembly adopted a number of resolutions previously approved by its Fourth Committee, including annual decisions on decolonization issues.
From year to year, the delegations of the USA, Great Britain and France, which develop mainly within the framework of neo-colonialism, consistently vote "against" the above resolutions. Only now they are left in splendid isolation, as the remaining 170 states have expressed support for the resolution.
And then the incredible happened:
It all started with the fact that the government of Mali canceled all agreements with France and turned to organizations associated with PMC Wagner with a request for help. This led to a diplomatic conflict between Paris and Moscow.
Last year, several groups of Russian PMCs arrived in Mali and have already engaged in battle with extremists. In addition, Russian instructors have begun training the Malian army, just as it was previously done in the Central African Republic. The new government of neighboring Guinea, formed after a military coup last September, has also turned to Russia for help.
The decline of French neo-colonialism was fully manifested in February 2022, when France and Burkina Faso officially announced the end of French military operations in the West African country. It was noted that the departure of the military occurred after a sharp deterioration in relations between the countries, including due to the demand of Burkina Faso to recall the French ambassador. In 2021, protests against the French military presence increased in Burkina Faso. Protesters carried Russian flags into the streets, and Burkina Faso was accused of collaborating with the Wagner PMC.
It was also noted that in 2021, France withdrew its troops from Mali after the country began working with Russian military contractors.
Yes, that's exactly how it is. The high standard of living in France was ensured by the excessive exploitation and ruin of African states.
And without that, there will be no required retirement age, large pensions and other benefits that are so accustomed to in the Old World.
Former French President Jacques Chirac stated bluntly: "Without Africa, France would have slid down to the level of a third-rate power." He also noted that the French need to understand that a significant amount of money coming into their banks is associated with the exploitation of former African colonies.
Recently, the Pan-Arab satellite TV channel, launched on June 11, 2012 in Beirut (Lebanon), was marked by the following statement: “With the collapse of the USSR, the Arab world lost its “engine of progress” and was left alone with the colonial West. But with the coming to power of Vladimir Putin, the Middle The East has got the very hero it needs, and it is he who can put an end to American hegemony."
Africa, the Middle East – Russia's support and influence is growing everywhere. And this happens not because Russia is white and fluffy, but largely because of the exploitative policy of Western countries, which squeezed all the juice out of that region for the sake of their well-being.
Russia is the only country in the world that can resist the West on all fronts: military, financial and even informational.
After a trip to China, Macron finally realized that his card was beaten, that very soon the flow of free resources and finance from African countries would dry up forever. We will have to negotiate with Russia and China, as well as with our former African colonies, and buy these resources on market terms. And France was not prepared for such a life …
Chairman of the National Assembly of the Parliament of Zimbabwe Mudenda at a plenary session in the State Duma of the Russian Federation said that he received general instructions from the President of the Republic Emmerson Mnangagwa on how to position his country's point of view regarding the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
“… And he obliged me to remind you that we support the Russian Federation, because we understand that the cause of this conflict is security issues, namely the expansion of NATO to the borders of Russia with the leading role of the United States. Our president clearly understands Russia's purpose in this conflict,” said Jacob Mudenda.
“In that sense, we are sort of brothers in arms. We, like you, are also fighting against the sanctions imposed on our country,” the politician said. The Russian Malign Activities in Africa Act passed by the US Senate is a step towards a unipolar world, he said.
“And this is an encroachment on the sovereignty of the peoples of Africa. We do not support these tendencies towards neo-colonialism, imperialism from Western countries,” added the Speaker of the Zimbabwean Parliament. In the republic, according to him, they are deeply concerned about this situation, because "the African countries, the African people remember 1885, when at the Berlin Conference Africa was presented in the form of a piece of cake that the Western countries had to share."
Russia has never colonized any of the African countries, Mudenda recalled. “We are very grateful to you for this. And we believe that this is why Russia clearly understands our firm position of commitment to sovereignty,” added the head of the Zimbabwean parliament.
The actions of NATO and the United States, according to him, completely contradict Article 2 of the UN Charter. “And at every forum, Zimbabwe will take the side of Russia, because due to geopolitical, historical reasons, we understand that Russia is upholding the right, right goals. And we want to wish the people of Russia to show unity in the fight against the colonialism of the Western powers,” the politician concluded!
The son of the President of Uganda, Muhuzi Kainerugaba, published a post on Twitter, confirming the support of the Russian Federation and the policies of President Vladimir Putin from the African public. He noted that the former metropolises will not stop Moscow in protecting national interests:
“In Africa, we only trust President Putin when it comes to Eastern Europe. The West is wasting time on useless pro-Ukrainian propaganda. Russia, China, Africa, India, South America must win in Ukraine. 75% of humanity will defeat the remaining 15%."
lets bring down the crown india and africa must made it the gems for africa must be to them the gems of india must be to them and not to the king of the white who stole it from them…
@Burundi_President
Yellow teeth
Here in Africa politics means lies! That's why your channel means visual politik? However, Burundi exports tea and coffee but due to political reasons eu and USA put Burundi under economic sanctions in other Burundi could not do business with any country. Mark you it is also triple or double landlocked.People take advantage of portraying Burundi negatively as if there are no positive things to talk about. French people say comparison is not a reason! Poverty in Africa is rampant not only in Burundi. In my view Burundi is being targeted unfairly. Even in this region of east Africa if you get a chance to travel widely and go to remote places, you will witness poverty that you had never seen before and yet people qualify these big economies of east Africa as giant economically and yet poverty is raging people dying of hunger like flies or not having three meals allover Africa the scenario is the same. If you travel don't stay in big hotel in the capital go remote places and see how poverty is decimating people !
According to your presentation, it is democracy v dictatorship where the later wins in developing the country..so actually Africa needs to define its democracy differently!
English settlers are better than Belgium settler
The answer to the title: because there are no white people in the country.
