This is BBC propaganda.. that's why they've invested in ensuring that the capture African stories and that we don't tell our own stories.

The title looks harmless but the propaganda is in the video itself.

Congolese teachers have been on strike, and the children decided to show solidarity and walk to parliament and demand that politicians address their teachers plight.

BBC drowned that story in a lecture by the politician that kids should be in school or at home. Aka contained.

The kids were in Parliament, but the politicians told them they were on the street. In other words, young people cannot take any political action is the equivalent of being on the streets.

And then BBC washes that down with a line about the kids leaving parliament peacefully. Which is an underhand way of saying "we expected young people to be their usual violent selves, but thankfully they are not."

We have to understand that imperialism is generally anti-youth, and especially anti-African youth. That's where this messaging comes from.

Shame on you @BBCAfrica.
