- World's Most Dangerous Roads: Deadliest Journeys in Katanga, Congo in 2015
Deadliest Roads - Benin: • Deadliest Roads | Beni...
In Katanga many people are waiting for a train named after a bird, the “Swallow”. More than 2000 people, three times the train’s capacity, are squeezing in the carriages. Conditions are precarious in the “Swallow”, which crosses the whole country in more than a week, stopping in several villages. But 1600km are difficult for this 50 year old bird. The rails aren’t well maintained, accidents are frequent and the journey is risky especially for those who choose to travel on the top of the train.
The way isn’t easier by car, by bike or on foot. Road 1, the longest road in the country is often unusable during rainy season. Some sellers have bicycles loaded with their goods, but it’s impossible to pedal in sand so they have to push them all the way through.
Travelling seems a real nightmare in RDC, but delays and breakdowns are a good thing for some, especially merchants who take advantage of the several stops to sell their products.

Deadliest Roads and Trains Congo Katanga
As a rule of thumb, railway maintenance and service is shoddy in DRC or Congo 🇨🇩 (The larger Congo with Kinshasa as it’s capital. The smaller Congo to the Northwest has Brazzaville as it’s capital. It
can be a bit confusing. We are definitely in DRC)
This is a deadliest roads episode but it’s all about the Swallow, a train, originating in the province of Katanga. Congo Katanga.
The train left Lubumbashi five days ago is expected to stop in Kamina. First train to stop here in five months. Passengers and vendors wait. As news of the arrival spreads, people make their way to the station. A phenomenon that repeats itself along the entire passage from East to West.
We’re traveling with the Swallow.
Starting point Lubumbashi in the Southeast,
heading west across the southern half of the country via Kamina to Ilebo. No time table. Just wait. For the train to come. Eventually it does. The journey is wild, wonderful, boisterous, and beautiful. You can’t mind crowded trains though. No social distancing here (the footage was shot way before the pandemic although I can’t imagine it’s much different now)
Travel with the train 🚂 is cheap
It stops everywhere. There’s a jump on jump off thing going on. And an instant pop up market at every stop.
It looks pretty awesome. Seriously, I want to take this train one day.
Enjoy!

I think its the second time you uploaded this
@Aleks Ignjatovicit's because online trolls prefer the news channels where they can spread misinformation and make obnoxious comments!
Intelligent documentaries with emotional content like this don't interest the masses!
I already seen on best documentary channel a month ago
Aleks Ignjatovic this has been uploaded more than 2 times
We need more of these
The three MEN with the goods on bicycles. My goodness, what strength and determination. Hats off to them! Great documentary 👏🏾 💘
And I wonder if there are any horses or mule they could used instead of bicycles. But I guess not
they dont do it ´´for earth´´ or travel. they do it for need. where is unstoneage ? but force none ^^
Amazing
God bless them and their families!
If that had determination they would have a better road
Speechless after seeing so many documentaries...I think I have lost all my rights to complain about life! The world is in pain and here we sit on our couches blaming everything. Period!
I say it everyday to my 5 kids they have it good. And they are lucky to not live in these slave driven religious countries
nonsense. the sands of time are eroded buy river of constunt change ^^
it is lame faith and comodditti and fear that bind us ^ ^
but 2020 mirror has come ??
agreed
Iip0
D§
Yes I pl
I absolutely agree with you. So much money in the world and yet so many people living like this, and just getting on with it!! Shame on the people who have the power and means to put this situation right, where is their humanity?
This channel never failed to show me the other side of the world, great job!
Thank you! That’s always been our intention and so glad these docs have become a staple for you. Awesome 👏
@@FreeDocumentary I hope more of these dangerous journeys or roads series like right now it's pandemic how do people around the world cope up?? Thank you for your dedication and hardwork! 😊
you're right. and it open up my mind about complains and contentments. I should lessen about my complains in life and i should be contented of what i have. Wanna visit this place soon and share my small blessings to them.
How about about Uganda
how about nigeria...
I have to say the three men carrying goods on their bicycles had to the hardest thing to watch in this episode. Mind boggling determination and to see them happy after their first sale was equally amazing..May God bless their souls
Usman is one hardworking guy. I really wish I could buy him a 4 x4 to do his business.
haha I am an african from kenya and although our roads arent as tough as those in Congo Usman is truly hardworking
I’m thinking the same!!!
Guys let’s find Usman! And get him something
Consider your own privileges then think how rude it sounds when you very well could buy a truck for him with even maybe one week of work. We make so much money it's evil.
Get my man a truck or choke on your money.
The three men on the bikes is the most heartbreaking that I saw. I can't help but feel their struggles and suffering moving those cargo on foot. I hope they be blessed with a much better life.
And the people they sell to seem worse off!
How can there be rich religious people and poor religious people? A rich religous person who most likely doesnt pray as much or give back to their god as much as a poor person but have a way better life than a poor person.
If god was real why would he give rich people a way better life than a poor person? Money is the real god thats why controls everything. It always has and always will

According to what I've gathered from another Christian, God sends a person to the earth and their fortune is known by the star he sets up for them in the heavens. When Jesus was born, the star of a King was seen in the night's sky. The three wise men followed a star to Jesus' birthplace. King Herod also knew of the star that heralded a king and sought to kill male babies to stop a new King from taking his throne.
Ecclesiastes 10:7 I have seen slaves ride on horseback and princes walk on foot like slaves.
Fortunes can be manipulated. People can look into your fortune and if they see it is better than yours they can change it through witchcraft. Never visit a fortune teller, a diviner or a witch. Avoid all such and other related things as instructed by God. Repent of this if you've ever done it. Getting a stolen fortune back may not be so easy. But there are videos here on TH-cam with good instructions. Make sure they're Christian based, no using the tools of the devil to fight the devil. Use search terms like "how to recover a stolen star" or "how to recover my star."
Yes, God did ordain that some be incharge of others. And if they were left in charge, evil wouldn't grow excessive. But satan has seduced the world with sorcery. People get jealous of other's good fortune and covet it for themselves when they wouldn't manage it very well. They don't bear in their hearts a burden for the well-being of other people.
Watching from KENYA 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🔥🔥💪💪
I salute these men with bycycles of their courage, and the same time i feel sad about their hardship. i wish i could help them in some way.
So sad to see a country that built Belgium through its exploited people and minerals fail to build their own country due to greed and wars that have left most honest and hardworking citizens living a hard life like this, with a smile on their faces and hope in their hearts.
And a government now which does nothing.
Not even build roads.
But I bet they all are living fine. :-(
Know that 99% of us Belgians strongly condemn what has been done to the paradise that is the DRC. Wish i could help!
@@dk2428 hahaha, paradise? I suggest you move there then and help them improve their lives.
LOL that country did not build belgium other way around.
The Congo built Belgium? lmao what???
looks like the Toyota Landcruiser is the vehicle of choice not once was that guy stuck
....On camera...
has more to do with the driver than the equipment. I seen dudes with 3" lift on 35's crawl stuff that stageIII rigs couldn't even get a foothold on
The Toyota land cruiser was made strictly for African roads.
Yep, seems like Africa and Australia is where they are most popular, but they REALLY get to work on those Congo roads and it’s just awesome to see their reliability in full swing
@@centeguahan3760 that car doesn't get stuck. It's an incredible vehicle
I love being Black and an Afrikan. There is plenty of stories tells / struggles /conquers. And the planet blessed us by giving such a rich piece of land and natural skills
This could be the best TH-cam channel right now.
Claps for the 3 men on the bicycles!!
Those guys needs to put some of that oil on their squeaky bikes😄
I truly love these documentaries, they make me feel so very blessed with what I do have.
Ya Allah bless these men on the bicycles give them the highest levels of Jennah and ease their life on earth Ameen
Ameen Ya Rab
Allah doesnt exist
Ameen
That is a lovely sentiment mate. Boo yah!
God is always with those who never refused to work hard. Three guys in bicycle are inspiration for everyone ❤❤ your documentary is best
Thank you 🙏
//em//¡//.
The three men pushing the bicycles..!! ❤
Blessed you 3 ; The strenght for 4 days !!☹
Thank you for bringing back one of my favorite documentaries.
The deadliest road
I have actually been on these road about 30 years ago. It was called Zaire when I was there and it was ruled by the dictator Mobutu. We got stuck for three days in one of the holes, all the truck would pile up along the road, when we did finally get the trucks through the truck I was on tipped over, I was sitting on the back of the truck and I managed to jump free without getting hurt. It's the last place where you would want to have an injury as medical help is a long way off.
Ahahhaahhah yeah, the last sentence is even more scary
And now they have a "King", who can't build roads.
I pity those people.
@@panthera50 Congo is sad
@@kyleborboranmain8295 Humanity is sad, The planet and its nature is beautiful.
We are the sad ones.
People suffer because other people.
@@panthera50 [The French system is terrible]. "If you know what I mean."
I knew Kiswahili was spoken in Kivu but never expected it to be spoken in Katanga! It's amazing how they mix French and Swahili. Great doc! Watching from Kenya🇰🇪🇨🇩
ah my sister us people from katanga we speak kiswahili bila tatizo.
but thanks for your opinion
//em//.
I love all of your documentaries. I also love that you dub the translation on most of your videos rather than using subtitles; makes me focus more on the video than reading.
These are the most memorable documentaries I have ever seen on TH-cam. Hats off to the persons involved in making these unbelievable documentaries..
THANK YOU , I've seen all the ''Deadliest Roads ''episodes .
And how people have to make do in poor conditions ! AMAZING
Great documentary.. watching from the philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
When I see life of my country tears fall down coountry rich in the world and life of people looks like this!
LOVE it!! Roosters perched on top of the trains and so is the goat!! Life in action! Excellent
This serie of documentary has become my favourite ... I cannot stop on saying thank you for another excellent doc
I was really waiting for these documentaries... It has taken long since you uploaded
Greeting from Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
I like the country bro..is very beautiful scenery and the people are very tough ....i love 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🖐🖐 see you later bro...😍😍😍😍😍
This is the kind of documentary that everyone should watch. The way the poorest people live. Maybe just maybe we would appreciate more what we have and what they don't have.
I'm now addicted to these documentaries..discovered them 4 days ago
The bicycles men
Huge respect
The guys with jacked up trucks in the US act like they have to drive through this everyday on the way to work hahaha.
That what I was thinking. Everybody thinks they need a huge SUVs to drive in 1 inch of snow.
@@goldenretriever6261 I want a wagon, but nobody is selling
@@ThisNoName I have a 19 year old VW wagon if you want.
I bet they wouldn't even drive their trucks in this kind of roads.
Life is upside down.
The ability for this documentary series to inspire gratitude for what I have and generally put my life into perspective continues.
I watch and rewatch many episodes.
//em//¡//.
i been watching a lot of your documentaries. it always kills my time....am so loving it.! just today i spen my whole morning. LOVE IT!
I'll think about these guys the next time I complain about my job; sitting at my desk all comfortable and dry eating 3 square meals a day with snacks in between. We should all be thankful for what we have because it's way more than these guys. May god bless them and improve their situation!
The resilience and spirit of the 3 men on a bicycle to keep going are astonishing and admirable. 🤍
I used to sell goods on bycyle 50 years back in villages in Western India. But even then, basic roads and transport facilities used to exist.
Later, I became a banker due to higher education and have now all comforts of life in and outside home. I also travelled to half of the world after retirement.
I wish similar life to 3 cycle boys in a video.
You seem very proud of yourself. Much of someone's real character lies in what they don't say about themselves.
Wow that's an interesting life that you have led. Congratulations for being able to get that higher education and what that brought. Good going. 👍
You seem very proud of yourself.
What a decent series it's always delighted to watch every episode
When dude said a 5k climb I started sweating and my legs started hurting hell no!! Lol these guys are badass
Salute and respect to the cameraman giving us some quality content 💯🔥
Another great documentary , One of the few channels where I don't skip the Ads
Just love how spirited and happy they are despite their circumstances - The west could learn a lot from this culture.
They know no other way.
When you start at the bottom you can't go down.
Western kids throw a temper tantrum if they don’t get the latest iPhones.
@@artman7780 or called the wrong pronoun
@@sokolshala485 Oh no, did someone asking for basic humanity offend you? :<
I feel so sorry for you!
The King should work on fixing the train tracks and his economy.
What baffles me is how rich this country is agriculturally. Very sad to see this level of poverty in the midst of very fertile land. Africans need to change our mindset to prosper.
-Yes Very sad indeed. The least they can do for there own people is issue Food Stamps. Hunger hurts.
Africans need the West to stop plundering.
@@auggie803 That is the funniest commitment I've read in ages.
just love this channel
addicted to this channel
Hats off to Usman and his fellow mates!
I am so glad you take your time to show the world to be great full for other countries dont have the luxury you’ve never failed to educate me in culture
Quiet bad is a understatement on the roads
Respect for the cameramen and people from this film. I felt so grateful to live in Indonesia...
Good job,
Just about everywhere in ASEAN is an upgrade from Congo-Zaire in terms of living standards...
This channel never disappoint
Great documentaries.. I have watched some of them .. really sad to see the other side of the world .. Great work by the cameraman
I was cutting onions when the guy was describing how he thought he was gonna be something better in life....maybe a lawyer, he never thought he was gonna be pushing 2-ton bicycles up hills!! There's almost about 95% of Africans in that same pit!!
Our African governments are nowhere to be found!
2 ton thooooo
i know i’m so heartbroken. even when we get the education we need we are stuck.
Love to watch your documentary just on another level specially this one🇨🇩
More people need to watch these and learn from the world
I have watched many of these documentaries and the cameraman is always a badass taking us to some of the most dangerous places and filming to show us.
I am addicted to this channel.. watching your documentries will be the one of my routines..really appreciated for your documentaries...🥰
We are here enjoying these documentary. Let's make a bowl for the camera man. I verily believe he used the same transport to capture the best shot. Big thumbs up. And I am telling everyone reading this to stop complaining about life.
I love watching on your channel. Greetings from Philippines
YAYYY!! MABUHAY KAPWA KO!

I am Indian and I am watching your beautiful docmentry sach a great job
Upon watching this documentary i realized why do some people keep on complaining they are not contented to what they have, while those people featured in this video shows how hard the struggles they are facing in everyday life just to survive for living, for their family. Let's be thankful for every blessings that we have and let us pray for those people around the world who have less.
Wow !🤯
How dare we take our comfy lifestyle for granted !!
Yes... been waiting for this for a while
The ancestor of this Yeke King was Msiri a Nyamwezi from Tabora (in Tanzania now) this shows that we Africans we are one! Much love from Tanzania. I have a feeling that even Usman and his two brothers ancestors where Swahili from Zanzibar who in 19 century dominated the trade routes in east and central Africa, trading in everything slaves, Ivory etc. These Zanzibaris traders spread everywhere from Stanleyville (Kisangani in the north of Congo) to Zambia in the South.
I Love All of your documentries.Thank you.Greetings from Yazd IRAN.
My favourite Narrator is back!
I'm happy, luv him + luv these Documentaries!
Would be awesome seeing Africa overcome such challenges.
From today onwards i will not complain about anything.... THANK GOD FOR GIVING US WHAT WE NEED🙏
Thank you for making this video I enjoy the way you tell it
Am falling in love with this channel very interesting and entertaining
If the government is free from corruption, the people will be prosperous and prosperous I am very sad to see that there are still people who are very miserable God is always with you
One of the best documentary channels.. like the efforts of your team... Showing the real life..
Thank you so much to free documentary videos. It's such a nice act for show struggling of survival from different core hard areas. After see this documentary my feelings like king really every facilities available but I was forget what's the real struggle of surviving. Thank you so much all team who did hard working for this kind of documentery videos.
Love your show. I have watched several episodes. I have listened over and over again about how hard people work to help others. Not one time i have seen anyone filling in the giant holes they created getting stuck. A Lot of helping others as they are in the way. Nothing in regard to making things better.
Perhaps, but it's mud, and actual road equipment is needed to smooth it out.
Covid brought me here .. to see what goes on around the world & appreciate all I have & to never complain about my life ever !!!! God bless each & everyone 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Awesome African with interesting life, culture, huge natural resources thanks for sharing this documentary , I like the the voice of narrator this video.
Great Doc....great narration..!!
Oh man, the durability of these land cruisers is just amazing!
Missed the Deadliest Roads series!
These documentaries are superb , love you all..
3:55 that kids drops an EPIC "bombaclot"
Yh think a me one did here it😂🇯🇲
looking forward to a behind the scene documentary of how the crew carry out their operations, especially that documentary when they were crossing a river in congo
watching from Kenya 🇰🇪 and
//em//¡//.
I'm addicted to this channel. Love the quality
Me too. I must admit that this channel has got very informative documentary videos
Thank you 🙏
And thank you 🙏
Me too friends..
I've been watching numbers of videos of your channel, they all are always interesting to watch, so is this one👍 Deadliest Roads Myanmar was my most interested one because Chin State of the country was covered there where my people were featured too.
Love from Mizoram, NE India, neighbouring Chin State of Myanmar
Watching this make my heart throbs with anger, knowing this is a country immensely rich but evidently bankrupt in political leadership.
When your country's leader wears a camouflage Uniform and never got past high school you know paved roads are not coming.
After Lumumba was assassinated by Mobutu with the blessing of Belgium and Cia this land was Cursed for years.
The reiches have become a curse with the whole world interested!
Hunter biden was here and stole the nation's money, criminal joe got his cut
@@bryanbressem5026 really? Tell me more
They should put a branch across the handlebars that is long enough to allow a man on each side of the bike to push from. they could put another from in back of the seat post. That way four men could push the bike with ease. It would also be balanced better.
You’re so smart, that makes so much sense
They seem to love punishing themselves and taking ten times to do what could be done in a fraction of the time.
As you can see Mr Thomas, everyone is for himself with his own bike,help is when they are climbing a hill
Thank God!!! Now m satisfied with everything I have🥰
We are African and Africa is our business,,,,much love from kenya
A very great documentary that reminds us of humanity and compassion as key tenets of human life
This makes me think and appreciate what I have, above all I want to save money and do more for the less fortunate so help me God amen 🙏🏾🤔
Same here
King: "I give much more than I receive"... Forgets he was carried around like a slave master just yesterday while he "sacrifices" his time by talking to a few people...
This explains why we've had such a massive influx of Congolese immigrants in Kenya. It's like paradise to them here. I'm just sitting here in front of my computer on a Sunday afternoon with a large cup of fine yoghurt and wondering where I'll get the cash for a new set of rims for my car yet our neighbours here have real teething problems. How can one even complain after seeing this?
Isnt KIBERA in Kenya?
@@am.b5688
I don't like the braggadocious tone of the OP, but skidrow is in California. Just because it's relatively more prosperous somewhere, doesn't mean everyone who lives there is prospering.
It might be easier for some Congolese to make a living in Kenya. And some Kenyans are making a better living in the US than they did in Kenya.
i give kudos to the team behind these documentaries
