I like Cedric but I think he is building his image on showing negative images of his country, I appreciate the strategy. But we have so many positive stories to tell to the world too and I hope he understand what I mean.

Great pictures but there is more than that you see on the pictures over there. Kinshasa is a beautiful city and I hope Cedric will not only show the sad side but also the beautiful side of Kinshasa la belle.

I don’t really have much to say other than that this is a beautifully crafted post and that I thank Cedric for providing such an important and artistic window into his country.

Hello Cedric,

Bravo pour ce travail ou ce hobby..les photos sont tres belles.
J’ai egalement beaucoup aime ton commentaire sur la vie en RDC certes difficile c’est le moins qu’on puisse dire mais egalement faite de sourire, de joie et de chaleur humaine. C ‘est quasi mot pour mot ce que j’ai ecrit a Jean Marie lors d’un rapport que j’ai eu l’occasion de faire sur le film realise par les 2 quebecois.
Ce film me posait toute sorte de pbs. Outre le commentaire et le ton compassionnel voir moralisateur, ce film n’etait ne rendait pas justice a ce que la radio essayait de faire..
Rendre compte bien sur de l’actualite souvent tragique mais egalement dans le programme notamment on y decouvrait des jeunes, des femmes, de artistes, des sportifs ect…qui souriaient, se mariaient, pratiquaient l’humour, dansaient, jouaint au foot ect.en un mot comme en cent vivaient tout simplement.
Tes photos sotn quelque part de cet ordre la..etj’aime cela.
J espere que tu vas bien.
Bises
Djamel
