Craziness because of planned protests against the government. Also, I heard if any artist speaks out against the government, there careers will effectively be shut down. Just like how they cracked down on Alesh who has the most popular song out right now

unfortunately expectable and i was always told people artists had no choice than to shut up ,every single artist especially the band leaders are on tight control from ANR( the congolese version of CIA) and criticism can get you in trouble
imagine for example last year or the year before at some pint jb was denied access outside drc and missed out on a guinea concert he had with wazekwa because he has just criticized how people get stuck at hospital before they can not pay and how childrens are kicked everyday of school because of lack of fees while the country is in a situation where he we have to go through some sacrifice to try to lift the country again

It sucks that it has come to that once again, sooner or later the government will be overthrown and whether the next one will be effective will have to be seen. Never heard of the ANR before. So JB abd Wazekwa had a planned concert with their bands? And have they rescheduled it? And how JB talking about is right, you cannon't have a situation like that, what does he mean by having to do sacrifices to lift Congo?

I will try to find interview where he talked about it the first time but in short he said he did not find it normal that people were automatically kicked of school or stuck at hospital because of lack of money while there is such a low level of employment so he thought they had to be a bit more understanding rather than letting people die like that and letting kids risking to become shegues

Nothing wrong with that, he's just a concerned Congolese citizen talking about the bad stuff happening in his country.

You know the sad fact is that Congo is the richest country in the planet but at the same time one of the poorest, you cannot really blame Congolese people, because when they protest they shoot them to kill, so how can you change that, I don't know why African leaders in general do not feel shame, for seeing the people's condition?
Sometimes I wonder if God exist, because I find it very unfair that I am in Europe and I have to struggle to get a life because in Congo and Angola too the situation is too much heavy to handle

Horrible - you can see the so-called police & masked ANR beating and robbing pedestrians (46:00-)
