DR Congo is one of the poorest countries in the world. GDP/cap is $457 a year. If he does get a few thousand that is more than one worker earns in 10 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nomi...


Understandable stance, but the damage he was capable of causing was probably millions of dollars worth. So yeah, a few thousand bucks as a thank you is reasonable.


> the damage he was capable of causing was probably millions of dollars

That applies to most of us.

It also doesn’t change the fact that there is very little money available in the DRC.


What on earth does that have to do with anything here? I probably make more as a software developer than some Americans make in 10 years.
