🚨🇨🇩ON THE GROUND: CONGO — THE NEW STATE | PART X
This is the finale—where Congo’s past meets its possible future.
In Part 3, On the Ground sits down with the man behind the Congo River Alliance/M23: @Cnangaa.
Sanctioned, hunted, and branded a revolutionary—he leads an army, builds a government, and carries a $XX million bounty on his head.
He doesn’t talk about resistance.
He talks about replacing the system.
With schools. With roads. With borders that mean something.
Not a rebellion—but a reboot.
We follow the rise of a self-declared state in the making—complete with taxes, troops, and a mission to unify where Kinshasa divided.
From exile to executive vision, tribal lines to national banners—this is Congo raw, armed with ideas.
And Nangaa’s not offering ultimatums.
He’s offering blueprints.
This is On The Ground.
