We're talking about Congo Kinshasa here, I mean, most of you here, who are not from the region have absolutely no idea about the state of that country. It's a mess.

Internet is the least of the locals worries, many of whom are on a daily survival mode because of the war, can't even read and are strongly influenced by all sort of superstitions.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. A lot of them living in remote places controlled by militias never had access to the internet at first place.
