Virunga the movie Stealing resources and de-stabling regions. Writing all that stuff about colonisation made me think about the movie I just watched. Virunga the movie which is about the protected Virunga National Park in East Congo. Again the bottom line of the movie was an international British company undermining the national park. The national park’s director is a Belgian Prince who like Dian Fossey cares very much about the faith of the mountain gorillas. The director slash prince is called Emmanuel de Merode. A very famous royal last name. The company that is attempting to undermine Virunga is called SOCO and they want to drill oil in the Virunga National Park. The Virunga National Park is home to many mountain gorillas on the Congo side. The park has been infiltrated by poachers for quite some time. Gorilla meat seems to be a delicatessen in international markets such as London and in Asia the hand of a mountain gorilla is used by the wealthy as a cigar ashtray. In the park you will find gorillas with an amputated hand, rescued by park rangers. Soco couldn’t care less about mountain gorillas and is now financing the rebels M23 in East Congo in order to get control over the national park. Deals have been closed with the Rebels through a British subcontractor slash mercenary. The construction is to keep SOCO so called clean. The Belgian Director of the park is doing everything in its power for this not to happen! They even tried to kill him. He got shot multiple times but he survived. How much more can I say, dark forces are always present trying to destabilise and extract resources out of Africa? Certain sources say that Socco has halted its operations but others say they are continuing with the help of the rebels. This movie is a must see movie; currently available on Netflix. It’s not a movie; it’s a real life documentary. http://virungamovie.com
