Damnhot.net: Dandies from Congo (21 pics)

Congolese capital Brazzaville has a subculture known as Sapeurs. This is a society of elegant people. Men of all ages dress up in designer clothes to look like French colonialists from the 50’s and 60’s even if they really can’t afford stylish outfit. A lot of people in Congo are starving and even get into debt in order to create their wardrobe.

The Congolese SAPE, or Elegant People of Congo (20 pics)

We can regularly hear about Congo, but in general, it’s rather sad stories than for something else.
So, to change, we’ll talk about something I never heard about before today: SAPE!
SAPE: “La Société des Ambianceurs et Personnes Elégantes”, or the society of atmosphere setters and elegant people.

You can see people of SAPE everywhere in Congo and it’s easy to recognize them because they have one important rule – a man has to be elegant! Though, it’s not all about elegance, a true member of the SAPE is a gentleman and a pacifist.
So, among people dressed simply, you can see guys wearing $1000 suits!
They consider themselves to be artists and are respected and admired by the whole community.
I think it’s weird, but again, to each his own…

Life, death and money of mafia in the Congo (58 pics)

This story has shocked the whole world in 2007.
9 gorillas were killed in the eastern Congo in one week. One of them was a female gorilla in late pregnancy.
Animals were killed for no apparent reason, obviously not for being eaten.
Even though poaching is flourishing in the country, this time it had nothing to do with animal trafficking.
There are not enough rangers in the National Park, inhabited by many rare species of animals.
600 people are working there now who have not been paid for years; they don’t have enough weapons.
What can 600 people do against an 8,000 well-equipped army of local influential general? Nothing.
The basic version of gorilla killings is that, the interests of the coal mafia of the Congo have been affected whose revenues are about $ 30,000,000 per year.
This mafia is interested in cutting down tropical forests and when someone gets in the way, they “deal” with it.
There are only about 600 mountain gorillas in the world.
These are very sad pictures showing the everyday life of the Congo inhabitants.
PS. Ordinary people are shown in the first photos, they don’t kill, but bury the dead gorillas.
