Congo is an African country rich in minerals & gold. Not only this one, many countries across the world are 🌎 rich of minerals, gold, lead (Pb) and many types of metals. Lead is well known to be used for making batteries for mobile phone 📱. Mobile phones has a huge market at global level which is steadily increasing due to higher demands of new technologies & facilities. In developed world 🌍 very few do not possess mobile phone. But African countrymen are poor in livelihood. This is questionable. This needs an answer. Belgium has
governed Congo till 60s. According to old people of that era, the roads 🛣️ were very well maintained & anyone felt very secure in driving, although the weather ☁️ condition was similar as it is at present full of hot temperature 🌡️ 🔥 & raining 🌧️ seasons. But what's happened that now roads are worst for driving. Dictatorship governs Congo last 40 years, so development will depend only on the wish of dictator & the people around him. Local representatives selected by votes of locals in a democracatic country are responsible to pressuring the government for local development which is lacked if a dictatorship governs a country. In democracy, political conflicts & instability generates poor governce & presence of armed groups, which is happening in Congo, enhanced due to high rates of malnutrition, illness, and poor education.
Roads are physical communication of any country. Virtual communication cannot do everything. A mobile phone📱cannot transport us physically to another place (Teletransportation) but roads can do it. Roads can transport materials, food and other requirements from one to another place. A airplane can also do but road transportation is much cheaper than air transportation, otherwise the population pay higher costs & people are poor, then many items & services are beyond their access. Therefore, an infrastructure of good roads are a crucial pilar of development. Roads in many areas of Congo are worst. Mud due to rains makes them deadliest. Driving at a speed of 20 km per hour converts a very short journey into a many hours journey. Above to this, if your vehicle 🚜🚑 get trapped in mud, then this many hours journey may become a long journey. If you are in forest area, far away from closest village or city🌆, then finding meals and good water 🌊💦 add more troubles in the worst situation.
