“According to sources at the central hospital we’re talking of around 200 dead and many injured. Some people are still (trapped) in their houses… They’re saying the entire neighborhood of Mpila has been destroyed.”-Betu Bangana, head of protocol in the Congo president’s office

March 4, 2012, Congo (aka Republic of Congo or Congo-Brazzaville, and not to be confused with the Democratic Republic of Congo [DRC]) has been hit with as many as six huge explosions.  Pictures show the smoke from one explosion is bigger than nearby skyscrapers.

“I saw someone being carried to hospital with their intestines hanging out. They had been hit by a shell.”-witness

One report says military ammo depots were targeted by rebels. The Defense Minister of Congo denied such claims, and said it was a fire that caused the massive explosions.

The explosions hit the capitol city Brazzaville.  They were so large that across the river in the DRC, the government there had to calm down the residents because the blasts took out windows in homes and businesses!

Back in the capitol of Congo, at a Catholic church where mass was being preformed, church goers were overwhelmed and of course the mass was canceled.

One thing that makes this suspicious is that a U.S. security contractor just happened to be in the city when it happened, and he’s the one who said there were six explosions: “I heard at least five or six good sized explosions, which blew out the windows and brought down half the ceiling in our hotel.”-Patrick Mair, Control Risks

Another suspicious thing is that Congo has been used by French oil companies, Total and Elf Aquitaine, in an effort to remain independent of U.S. and British oil companies (and therefore their respective governments’ policies).

In 2003 former executives of Elf Aquitaine admitted in court that they intentionally fueled civil wars, as a way to maintain cheap access to the oil.  How this worked was the oil companies traded cheaply acquired weapons/ammo, to various waring factions, in exchange for raw petroleum oil. GlobalWitness reported in 2009 that the incredible corruption between the Congo-Brazzaville government and the oil industries, was still ongoing!

To make things worse, Congo-Brazzaville, and the DRC, are areas of south western Africa that have seen many new oil discoveries in the past decade.

Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other.
