Let& #39;s talk about the #CongoGenocide (thread)

DR Congo is said to possess 80% of the world& #39;s coltan amongst many other natural minerals and this metal ore contains tantalum, which forms capacitors - you know, the thing that allows your PS4 to function to play FIFA, allows you....

to be able to tweet at this given moment because there& #39;s no power surge in your phone.

As a result of all this, there has been serious bloodshed (which is commonplace in the coltan mining industry). This hasn& #39;t been talked about enough and quite frankly, disappoints me.........

greatly. Rebel groups are often funded and pretty much, enabled to commit acts of genocide on millions of Congolese people. Our people are being raped, tortured, displaced, killed, you name it.

I don& #39;t have all the answers and I& #39;m not sure what I can do other than use the platform I have to raise awareness but all I ask for, is that anyone who sees this, joins us in our strife and helps to raise awareness.
