Bad Situation in Congo
Transcript
But I always thought the Belgians shouldn't
have left the Congo as quickly as they did.
World opinion or the UN said they should
go and they just got up and left,
lock, stock and barrel.
That left a rather bad situation in the Congo

the North causing the problem when we
were there, while we were there.
They had the civil war and that conflict
brought us into the situation
or the UN into the situation.
