“Copper was Africa's chief mineral export. Being an excellent conductor of electricity, it became an indispensable part of the capitalist electrical industry. It is an essential component of generators, motors, electrical locomotives, telephones, telegraphs, light and power lines, motor cars, buildings, ammunition, radios, refrigerators and a host of other things. A technological era tends to be defined by the principal source of power. Today, we speak of a Nuclear Age, since the potential of nuclear power is shown to be immense. The Industrial Revolution in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries was the Age of Steam. In a parallel manner, the colonial epoch was the Age of Electricity. Therefore, the vital copper exports from Congo, Northern Rhodesia and other parts of Africa were contributing to the leading sector of European technology. From that strategic position, its multiplier effects were innumerable and were of incalculable benefit to capitalist development.
In the context of a discussion of raw materials, special reference must again be made to the military. African minerals played a decisive role both with regard to conventional weapons and with regard to the breakthrough to atomic and nuclear weapons. It was from the Belgian Congo during the second world war that the U.S.A. began getting the uranium, which was a pre-requisite to the making of the first atomic bomb. In any case, by the end of the colonial period, industry and the war-machine in the colonising nations had become so intertwined and inseparable that any contribution to one was a contribution to the other. Therefore, Africa's massive contribution to what initially appears as peaceful pursuits such as the making of copper wire and steel alloys ultimately took the shape of explosive devices, aircraft-carriers, and so on.”

Tweet by Whitney Alese @ TheReclaimed: "When you realize the very smart phone, the laptop, and the ipad you are using to fight genocide are the reasons why there is one happening right now in the Congo..."
Infographics from Slow Factory - Systemic change for collective liberation:
"People of the Democratic Republic of the Congo are the victims of corrupt political regimes, armed militias and violence by neighboring countries such as Rwanda for political gain and as part of industry-driven access to DRC's large reserve of coltan, gold, tin, cobalt, copper, zinc, diamonds and rare earth minerals."
"Since 1996, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC, formerly called Zaire) has been undergoing violent unrest, what some call a 'silent holocaust,' embroiled in violence that has killed as many as six million people involving armed forces, militia groups and investors from Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Angola, Namibia, Chad, Libya, Sudan and more—sometimes called the 'African World War.'
While DRC is home to over two hundred different ethnicity, the pressure on the massive region of Central Africa is compounded by the fact that the Congo is extremely rich in natural resources required for innovation in high-tech and aerospace technology."
"The United Nations has reported millions of counts of violence, weaponized sexual violence against women as well as child labor and enslaved women and children forced to work for private companies extracting coltan and other precious mineral from the Congo.
Aided by the United States and UK, Rwanda and Uganda are receiving military and financial support to invade regions in the DRC that contain coltan and other precious minerals, perpetrating genocidal practices."
"Beyond historically extracted resources such as diamond, gold, copper, and zinc, minerals for high-tech application are increasingly driving child labor, displacment, environemental pollution, as well as violent conflict.
DRC is the world's largest producer of:
Cobalt — used in Li-on batteries Coltan — used to make capacitors for laptops and cellphones
70 percent of the world's cobalt comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
DRC is by far the world's largest producer of coltan, almost 2 times more than the next largest producer, Brazil."
Demand the end of genocide in the Congo.
Big tech and the car industry have blood on their hands.
The United States is once again involved in the genocide in the Congo."

Congo is silently going through a silent genocide. Millions of people are being killed so that the western world can benefit from its natural resources.
More than 60% of the world's cobalt reserves are found in Congo, used in the production of smartphones.
Western countries are providing financial military aid to invade regions filled with reserves and in the process millions are getting killed and millions homeless.
Multinational mining companies are enslaving people especially children to mine.

La República Democrática del Congo vive un genocidio silencioso. Millones de personas están siendo asesinadas para que la parte occidental del mundo pueda beneficiarse de sus recursos naturales.
Más del 60% de las reservas mundiales de cobalto se encuentran en el Congo, y se utiliza en la producción de teléfonos inteligentes.
Los países occidentales están proporcionando asistencia financiera militar para invadir regiones llenas de reservas y en el proceso millones de personas mueren y millones se quedan sin hogar.
Las empresas mineras multinacionales están esclavizando a la gente, especialmente a los niños, para trabajar en las minas.

MSF teams warn that a greater humanitarian response is urgently needed
“Adré, Chad, October 19, 2023—Since fighting erupted in Sudan in April, about 430,000 refugees have fled to Chad, and more are expected to arrive in the coming months. Health conditions are precarious for the approximately 200,000 refugees now staying in camps in Adré, eastern Chad, due to a lack of water, food, shelter, and sanitation facilities.
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams are providing medical care in Adré and responding to critical water needs, but ongoing water scarcity may have disastrous consequences if other organizations do not similarly respond.
"In the refugee camps at Adré, some 200,000 people are receiving just five to six liters of water daily, well below the recommended emergency standard of 20 liters per day," said Christophe Chauliac, MSF project coordinator in Adré. "MSF serves as the primary water provider in the camps, distributing around 600,000 liters daily and covering more than 80 percent of the available water supply for refugees. Despite these efforts, this amount is insufficient, especially in scorching weather. An insufficient water supply hinders basic needs such as washing and cooking, forcing people to turn to unsafe sources and increasing the risk of waterborne diseases such as diarrhea and cholera."
MSF/Doctors without Borders is one place that be donated to.
Muslim Aid has worked in Sudan since 1991.
Islamic Relief has worked in the region for 40 years and also has an emergency appeal.
UNHCR (Through the UN's refugee agency) also has an emergency appeal going.

You might have heard of the recent inhumane war that's erupted in Sudan. Our home in Sudan has… M. E. needs your support for #SudanWa
my family and i became refugees overnight.
im a young black woman trying to restart my life in the UAE with my family and we can use all the help we can get.
please consider helping a sudanese family that lost everything in the war.
thank you <3
Some of this money is gonna go towards flying my parents out to me in the UAE. They’re currently stuck in their village in Sudan and waiting for a way out.
There are no hospitals or medical infrastructure and they’re elderly so the longer they stay the riskier.
Please help however you can 🩷

Do not ignore the suffering of Sudanese women | Women's Rights | Al Jazeera
Women are bearing the brunt of the vicious war in Sudan. The world should not look away.
Sudanese women are bearing the brunt of the vicious war that began in mid-April between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). More than six million people have been displaced since the new war erupted including an estimated 105,000 women who are currently pregnant, according to the United Nations. Of the 1.2 million who have fled to neighbouring countries, nearly nine in 10 are women and children. The healthcare system in Sudan is in a perilous state – 70 to 80 percent of hospitals in conflict areas are not operational – with devastating consequences for women in need of maternal health medicines.
things have taken a really terrifying turn in sudan over the past few days. it's currently sudan action week to raise awareness to the war and the increasingly desperate situations of both sudanese citizens and refugees. some of the people to follow for updates and news about sudan on twitter (both in sudan and outside)
