Jeremie Businessman

In Congo, religion is everywhere. This shop, hundreds of meters away from our house, is like so many others in Congo: with explicit references to the Old or New Testament. Maybe hoping it's good for business and that it will bring fortune! Au Congo, la...

Goma vue du ciel / Goma from above

You can here clearly see the 'route' the lava took. The Nyiragongo volcano, just above the city. Goma, surrounded by mountains

Goma

Hey, I guess that after a month here, it's probably time to talk a bit about Goma and give you a better idea of our environment. So how does Goma looks like? Well, even though there are about 500,000 peolpe living here, it looks as a small city. The 'centre'...

Rita et les chimpanzés / Rita and the Chimps

Rita has found new friends. She's always been very sociable, but I have to say this time was pretty quick. They are a bit hairy, but she seems fine with it. Yes, her new friends are chimpanzees. Those who know her well will not be surprised: she loves...

Butembo, an extraordinary city

Butembo is quite a unique city. With 600,000 inhabitants, it is the largest city in North Kivu. But it grew so fast that it's not even on some maps. What characterises this city is its wealth and prosperity. Butembo and this whole region has been mainly...

Pregnant at 13 / Enceinte à 13 ans

That’s certainly one of the shocking and depressing images of Congo. Even when you know it happens, it’s always a shock when you actually see it. Whilst I visit a health centre in Eringiti, I meet a young girl, 6 months pregnant. She’s 13. She’s not an...

Tiger Woods vs Georges Foreman

Irumu territory is a big area, on the west of Bunia. Its main city is Komanda that I have decided to visit today. This area is still quite unstable, militia quite active, and some fighting between the Congolese army and Monuc against militia still occuring....

Kodikoca

You'll have little chance of hearing one day about Kodikoca, or to be able to point this village on a map. So what is so special about it? well, I guess because this is where I went today. Kodikoca lies in northern DRC, very close to the border with Uganda,...
