It's not called river Congo. It's called THE CONGO Because it's not a river, it's a moving lake, the largest widest and deepest moving water on earth. It can provide hydro power to the whole continent

How wide is it? With massive deforestation of Congo forest it may be non existent in the next decade

True

Why hasn’t it provided the hydro power to the whole of Africa?

You can as well give us an answer

I asked a really genuine question without any ill motive.

@MaryK2022 Funding, vision and foreign interference

@MaryK2022 let’s not blame foreign interference in 2026, because we invite them to our home (read countries). lack of vision yes.

where's the mythical monster mokili mbembe

Ako hapo

Really sad that Africa has the resources but also the most greediest of creatures known to man reside there too smgh

❤️❤️❤️ everything about Congo is beautiful apart from politics.

The Grand Inga Dam would supply power equivalent HALF of total current Africa power usage today. But it would require Usd 100 B to build. Which is just about Usd 2B per country. But this may never get built due to corruption. DRC with its mineral wealth could THEORETICALLY fund this with internal resources. Key word THEORETICALLY

It can provide like only 200k Megawatts that can only power central africa and some part of South Africa but if added with river zambezi we might be able to get 350k megawatts to 400k and that will be able to power the full continent.

Shida haikuwangi power generation, ata Sahara can provide the same, issue ni transmission.

The Grand Inga Hydropower project is estimated to yield 40,000megawatts. Potentially the largest hydropower project in the world.

It's not the largest, it's not the widest! It's a moving lake,the Amazon is a moving sea.

Congo is a lament, everyone in Africa should cry for Congo

It's not a lake. Literally, it has been scientifically and geographically categorised as a river. So it can rightly be called River Congo even if y'all would prefer it be called The Congo.

Stupid white pieces of shit won't let that come to fruition.

With all its resources Congo has the potential to be the richest country in Africa. But bad politics = poverty.

African countries need to start thinking about self funding large projects. Example #GERD in #Ethiopia 100% funded by #Ethiopians

"Can" "Should" "Would'a" "Should'a" BUT IT DOESN'T

I have visited Inga Falls hydro power plant near Matadi and the proposed site for the Grand Inga Falls dam , which by design , has double the capacity of the 3 Gorges dam ( 42 GW). That alone, is enough to power the entire Sub Saharan Africa. Africa has abundant resources.

A lake by definition is a standing body of water surrounded by land, so it’s obviously not a lake, it’s a very large river.

The Congo is truly a massive force of nature, though it is technically classified as a river rather than a lake because of its unidirectional, downstream flow. The 'moving lake' description is a great metaphor for its scale, though!

One of the most beautiful country on planet Earth

Is it navigable? I'd love to visit the Congo after Jinja, the Nile source

The spooky lake lady did a video about this. It's the creepy deep water fish that fascinate me most.

All that fresh water allowed to go to waste as Africans grapple with chronic water shortages!

That's what we were saying sixty years ago, but .....

Correct 💯

@NahashonKimemia @grok is this true of the Congo River?

Majestic 😍

Meanwhile the western media including al jazeera are asking why do we need more dams yet we have some of the largest😂 all these to make Africa stunted, they only raw materials, a sovereign Africa economically is a threat😂sabotaging financing on building the Congo mega dam🤡

but we as africans cant take such a project becawe care more about division and stealing

Guys should watch Congo docus. It's just another world huko nje

It's a majestic natural wonder. Would love to see it kwa macho. Pesa ongezeka jiweze kufika Congo

Love Africa 🌍 ❤️ 💙

But that will never happen

How deep?
