How the Congo is still suffering after independence

This article talks about how the Congo is still suffering 50 years after it has gained it's independence.  The underdeveloped country only has 300 miles of paved road, has no land line for phones, and is still experiencing lots of violence.  A lot of the people in the Congo still blame Belgium for what King Leopold did.  This article was produced by Fox News.
