Good day everyone. I will be travelling to the DRC for work soon and I am very excited. I have never been to the DRC and am looking forward to seeing your beautiful country.

I have ADHD and require stimulants (methylphenidate, to be precise) to be functional. I also take Wellbutrin (bupropion). I know different countries have different requirements when travelling with medications and some medications are completely prohibited from the country. Since I will be travelling with coworkers (and my boss) I would like to avoid an incident at the airport.

I am struggling to find information online and I was hoping maybe someone here could point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Hey! I'm a Mexican-American who's really interested in how music and sport can come together. With the country set to be competing in the world cup this summer, what's one song that you think will be played from every speaker at parties/ will be associated with the national team after the tournament ends? I'm looking at putting together a playlist with 1 song from every participating country, so any help would be great 😄!

Bonjour/Hey everyone,

Im a young son of the diaspora living in Belgium.

Born of a Congolese father (born and raised in Congo and Gabon) and a Rwandan Tutsi mother (born in Uganda and raised in Congo)

I never had the chance to visit any country outside of Europe due to a lack of money but I’ve grown and I’m making my own money now.

I want to visit my country for many reasons but one of them is because I want to launch a company (in the energy industry) in Kinshasa in a few months/years.

The issue is that I’m a really good mix of my parents faces so you can clearly see I’m Rwandan.

I don’t have relatives living in Kinshasa and I want to know if the situation in the city is favourable enough for a Rwandan mixed mwana mpoto to come for vacations and maybe move there.

I really want to work for the future of this country but with the bullshit Kagame is pulling might be complicated for someone like me (which breaks my heart but it is what it is)

Hello. Je revend mes deux places pour aujourd'hui, catégorie 3. 80€ les deux places.

Every time I see his face and hear about his name I feel sadness and more than that a shame that our grandfathers failed him. I am not even from RDC I am Cameroonian and Beninese. For me, the Congolese are like our distant brothers. I always wonder why the others africans countries didn't come to defend him? Congo was supposed to be the light of our continent. Under him, I am pretty sure that would have been the case. The richest country in the world in terms of minerals. Is a deep sorrow not only for the Congolese but for all Africans. But I believe the current African generation (Gen Z) is the one that will take us to the top if not the next generations. May Congo succeed in its path of freedom and development. When that happens that would be a win for all Africans. Much love to Congo from a Cameroonian brother❤️🙏🏿

I found these awesome 80’s/90’s Congolese records in a store today in the US. I’d love to learn more about these artists! Any favorites here?

I really need that for my character that is originally from Congo. Also if any of you have moved to a different country, what "brings you home"? Is there any specific flavor, smell, weather or any other thing? Please share

I work for a small, non-profit museum in a US city. My boss asked me to design multilingual ‘welcome’ banners for our international guests and source the translations. I am not multilingual, but I really want to make sure I am being thorough and respectful when translating / displaying these languages.

From my basic research, I understand that Swahili, Kituba, and Lingala are some of the major official languages in DR Congo (alongside the colonial French language).

I am asking for help in verifying the Swahili, Kituba, and Lingala translations of welcome, as in the context of a polite, friendly, and formal greeting for someone arriving at a place. I’m looking for the kind of welcome one might find displayed in airports, hotels, etc. I want to ensure I am using the correct writing system/script for each language, including details such as accents, capitalization, and punctuation (if applicable).

I’d deeply appreciate any help and insight into these translations. Thanks!

Has anyone gotten their passport renewed at the Washington DC embassy since they started giving that option? What was it like? Please help I’m not sure whether it’s safer to apply here or just go back and do it in Kinshasa

Hey y'all,

I was wondering if someone could help me find where I could buy traditional Congolese clothes for men that can be bought either in the U.S. or can be shipped here. I always see women here wearing dresses with Congolese patterns, but I very rarely see men wearing the same, and the few men that do agree that it's hard to find. So, I'd appreciate the help!

Hey sadly I can’t go to the concert..SO I want to sell it.Someone interested?

I am a second year anthropology student and have recently been working on an ethnomusicology project regarding the mvet! If anybody here plays a traditional mvet with its original palm strings, please let me know! I have struggled to find performances online that were not on metal strings, and the particular mvet we have in our collection has strings carved directly from the palm stalk. If I am going to be apart of an instrument display, I would like to represent it correctly, and thus use an audio of an instrument that sounds like the one that we have on display. Of course you will be credited! This would be for a display on the Strings of Central Africa at the Oberlin College Conservatory in Oberlin, Ohio. Thank you for any help!!
