Don't mistake Congomokili of Sims Esele, Ado Yuhe, Anelka ba Faussette & Rihanna Domingos with Congomikili of Yves Kabemba. Congomokili and Congomikili are two different things.

 The project of Congomikili was started in 2008 by Yves Kabemba, who lives in Canada (Montreal). He wanted to have a kind of CNN for the whole Congolese diaspora. So he started a website which was posting articles about politics, history and music and also videos from journalists in Kinshasa (Papy Mboma, Magalie Sisi, Djo K, etc.)working for tele-channels RTGA, RTVS, etc. and collaborating with Europe-based journalists Marc Tabu & Francis Kakonde who were interviewing artists when they came for shows at Zenith and Europe-tours. They also started to distribute cd, dvds in Montreal, Paris & Brussels through their website. But in 2010 Francis Kakonde & Marc Tabu dediced to leave and form Congobilili (Marc Tabu would later leave it again to form Congonumber1 with Blaise Manzambi & Abeba Lipordo). Congomikili on his side recruited less known journalists in Europe, but still stayed strong. They to collaborated with Congolese people living in Washington D.C. (Kams who more into politics), Dallas, South Africa (John Image, Pasteur Sans Rival & Bishop Elysee), Russia (with Ado Yuhe used to be a student there) and also Australia. The combattans-phenomenon, politicial situation and elections of 2011, made Congomikili being the most followed in 2011 & 2012. Following closely how in Kinshasa through journalists like Kadhafi Mumbudi (who was close to PPRD of Kabila) and another guy (I forgot his name) being close to UDPS of Etienne Tshisekedi), how the elections went, people getting shot & killed how the PPRD-camp used corruption to win. In Europe how people in Paris & Brussels used to protest against Kabila and starting actions (mutakalalisation) against politicans and their families who tried to get in Europe. In South Africa how people discovered containers with already voted papers in favor of Joseph Kabila. Boketshu, Odon Mbo, having every week interviews there, etc. Then in 2012/12 it started to get down when Grace Mbizi joined who came from Drigombaki, people complaining about her not being able to ask questions and also about her behaviour and clothing.  The new journalist Johnny Yayimimpe on his side trying to re-introduce La Sape, which didn't have alot of impact anymore in the Congolese community. Congomikili being accused of getting money from PPRD, etc. Grace Mbizi would end up leaving after a conflict with Ado Yuhe who started to live in Paris. She would be replaced by Rihanna Domingos who came from Drigbombaki along with Anelka ba Faussette with a rivalery starting between Grace Mbizi and Rihanna Domingos. In Kinshasa they recruited Carine Mokonzi. In 2015, Ado Yuhe, Sims Sesele, Anelka Ba Faussette & Rihanna Domingos decided to leave a form Congomokili after a conflict Jacques Kabemba (Jacques Kabemba is responsible for many departures). From that moment Congomikili was finished with people only following Carine Mokonzi & Aicha Okoko and the website itself not more having alot of impact.

If you look well many people come from Congomikili. Maman Elysee who make videos about weddings and divorces used to work for Congomikili and also Kerwin Mayizo who comes everyday with political analyses on internet.
