The Real Mobile Phone Wars – DRC
10 October 2001 As the high tech age takes over more and more of our lives manufacturers will go to any lengths to get the sometimes scarce minerals that go into them. Tantalum is one such rare ingredient. Few of us know that in the middle of Africa much human suffering is created in the pursuit of it.
@wattamochi Why do you need to know?
I can’t lie…this is painful. We have to do more than blog.

Dude, Europeans left Africans the way they are by invading them hundreds of years ago and cultivating their people as slaves. Now if you look at the majority of these countries, their median age is 18 which means there are more children and teenagers than adults. How can a society improve when the small handful of adults are corrupt and the rest of the nation(s) are uneducated youths forced to seek survival skills of animals. Not to mention Europeans contaminated these people with Christianity!

Congrat..we need This kind of journalism…this is time for revelation of reality, and if the main streem media do not ..we will…….all respect for your work.

@ikeano29 suppressed from the public again.
I hate mobile phones as it is and this just makes me hate them even more. No mobile phone for me.
It is by no mistake that when I created the earth I deposited some of the richest minerals and ores in Africa. The Lord showed me that when the colonial power in Congo left in the 60′s, a great power vacuum was left also in the spirit and the hurried nature in which they left without leaving sound leadership opened the door to a spirit of division.
at the end of the day its the corrupt african leaders who are the problem…not us buying the resources.
in that case all resource taking is wrong from anywhere
stop being hypocrits.
the real sufferer is the planet.
so throw away your mobile phones, tv’s watches , computers cars…and tehn speak…otherwise stfu.
how pathetic …a white woman going to where gang rape is second nature…she is asking for it….i tell you….with all her blonde hair….acting like she owns the world.

@ikeano29 only an idiot would believe what you said congo is the most resource rich country in the world way richer than iraq or saudi arabia it has 50 trillion in resources every thing we need. the problem would be securing the congo it has 70 million people and is a lot bigger than iraq. some people don’t think

Fantastic reporting. Steel nuts.
Good reporting but not great. She left out the origins of this conflict and poverty. In 1961, Patrice Lumumba was killed by the CIA and the Belgians because of his Pan Africanist views. Which basically means. That if Africa has the most abundant amount of the world’s natural resources. Africa should control and benefit from it. Call it racist, colonialism or evil. But they didn’t like that. So they had him killed and put a kleptocrat in his place. This is the results. Libya: 20 years from now.
Bloody courage they have to pull this off
