lol what’s up??? what’s goood!!!!

For anyone who is confused about the red profile pictures, this is a quick thread for you:

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of natural resources, it is estimated to have $24 trillion of mineral deposits. D.R.Congo is home to an abundance of natural resources such as oil, minerals and valuable metals.

The D.R.Congo holds 4 of the most commonly mined conflict minerals called the 3TGs (coltan for Tantalum, casserite for Tin, wolframite for Tungsten, and Gold ore). The extraction of these minerals has caused millions of casualties over the years.

It is estimated that the D.R.Congo holds approximately 80% of the world’s supply of Coltan. Coltan is used in most technologies that we see today. Without Coltan we wouldn’t have cellphones, computers, tablets, game consoles, plane engines, etc.

There’s roughly about 6.9M metric tons of Cobalt in the world. D.R.Congo has around 3.4M metric tons, making it the largest reserve in the world. Cobalt is one of the rarest metals in the world, used in alloys for aircraft parts, it’s used in batteries, cancer treatment, etc.

The UK and the USA provide financial and military aid to bordering countries (Rwanda and Uganda) to facilitate and control the extraction of these natural resources. This has led to Congolese children, women and men being killed, raped, starved and displaced from their homes.

In a lot of cases, these minerals are dug under threat of violence to either them or their families. Working in extremely inhumane conditions, having no training, equipment or protection, it doesn’t matter if they’re children, pregnant women, or the elderly...

If they don’t comply, the weapon of choice is rape. An average of 48 women and girls are raped every hour in the D.R.Congo, that’s well over 1000 a day. Over 6 million Congolese people have been killed due to these conflicts and half of them are children. On average, 45,000 Congolese people are killed every month. Congo’s resources are extremely valuable to the world but it comes at a deadly cost to its habitants.

After the minerals are mined in D.R.Congo, they are smuggled to neighbouring countries mostly Rwanda and Uganda, who then send these minerals to Asian countries, (China, Thailand, Malaysia, etc) to be refined, to later be sold to multinationals.

Uncontrolled mining in the D.R.Congo, causes environmental factors as well. There is soil erosion, water pollution affecting the nearby regions. A big example of these environmental changes is the decrease of Mountain Gorillas, going from an estimated of 17,000 to 3,800 gorillas.

The problem really isn’t the extraction of resources but the conditions surrounding it. I’m tweeting from an iPhone so I know these resources are needed… But it shouldn’t be in exchange of millions of lives.

I think it’s important for consumers to demand conflict free products from electronic manufacturers. Businesses such as Apple, Samsung, Volkswagen, that sell product containing conflict minerals should be pressured to acknowledge their part in this problem and be held accountable.

Pressure should be put on all governments and multinational companies in order to shed light on where their product’s minerals come from and ensure that human rights standards are respected.
