Congo must be one of the richest countries in the world. They could have been the Dubai of Africa with what they have in the ground. Ever since their independance the biggest mining company in Congo is Gécamines. Once a hugely profitable company it is now only a shadow of its former self. Years of corruption and mismanagement have left Gécamines in a state of defacto bankrupt. All their mines are nothing more but ruins.

I actually despised it the second I saw an inline engine.There was a regular that showed up at the quicklube I worked at. A grade5 chunks of steel, thought out places to bang things, but very far from perfect for such hard journeys. in fact, an IH scout would be right there with it...funny enough, the wagon subarus with the ea engines were a minus 1mm (all steel related) from being an absolute monster in the same legend.
