Warlords, soldiers, and child laborers all toil over a mineral you've never even heard of. Coltan is a conflict mineral in nearly every cell phone, laptop, and electronic device. It's also tied to the deaths of over 5 million people in Congo since 1990.

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about the Democratic Republic of Congo.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the 2nd largest country in Africa and 11th largest in the world. At 2,344,858 square kilometers, the DRC covers a land area larger than the combined territories of Spain, France, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Lithuania.
2. With a population of over 80 million, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the fourth most-populated nation in Africa and the eighteenth most populated country in the world. The people of the DRC represent over 200 ethnic groups, with nearly 250 languages and dialects spoken throughout the country. Kinshasa, the capital, is the largest French-speaking city in the world.
3. Despite being a poor and conflict-ridden country, the DRC boasts a space program. Privately financed by the Développement Tous Azimuts (DTA), with significant government support, the Troposphere rockets are expected to send cargo to outer space in the near future.
4. Kinshasa and Brazzaville in the next-door Republic of Congo are the closest capital cities in the world (with the exception of Vatican City and Rome). A bridge across the Congo River still needs to be constructed to connect the two political centers.
5. The great apes, such as the bonobos and the eastern lowland gorillas, can be found only in Congo. Along with the common chimpanzee, the bonobo is the closest extant relative to humans. There is no concrete data on population numbers, but the estimate is between 29,500 and 50,000 individuals.
6. The DRC used to have a very strange form of currency. It’s called the Katanga cross. The metal is made of copper and is shaped in the form of an X. During its period of validity, the Katanga cross underwent a change of value from being owned by tribal chiefs and leaders, who used them primarily for large transactions or rituals, to a more widespread use for purchasing perishable goods, although its main and longest use was to bind marriages.
7. The DRC is among the most resource-rich countries on the planet, with an abundance of gold, tantalum, tungsten, and tin – all minerals used in electronics such as cell phones and laptops – yet it continues to have an extremely poor population. Tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold have been dubbed “conflict minerals.” Armed groups use the profits from sales for campaigns of violence.

Kinshasa is normally one of Africa's busiest, most bustling even chaotic cities.
But on the streets of the Democratic Republic of Congo's capital barely anything moved on Wednesday.
Shopes closed and public transport ground to a halt.
A nationwide strike was called for by the country's main opposition group following the annoucement that presidential elections will take place in April 2018, instead of next month when they were due.
Critics of President Joseph Kabila say he's using the delay to extend his 15 year long rule, and in so doing, violating the constitution.
But President Kabila's government has claimed the election must be postponed so they can properly prepare.
So, is this African country sliding into a crisis?
Presenter: Martine Dennis
Guests:
Claude Mashala, national executive secretary of the ruling People's Party for Reconstruction and Democracy.
Theo Ngombo, the UK representative for the opposition party known as the Union For Democracy and Social Progress.

This film documents the hazardous conditions in which artisanal miners, including thousands of children, mine cobalt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It goes on to trace how this cobalt is used to power mobile phones, laptop computers, and other portable electronic devices. Using basic hand tools, miners dig out rocks from tunnels deep underground, and accidents are common. Despite the potentially fatal health effects of prolonged exposure to cobalt, adult and child miners work without even the most basic protective equipment.

"We have health problems, we get infections because we are not drinking clean water...It has to change," says Marie Matondo, a 31-year-old mother of six in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Manual drilling is being used in Marie's Binza Météo community to transform the health of the entire village. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of three countries in the world in which more than 50% per cent of the population do not have access to safe drinking water.

Grand Theft Congo (2005): The major problem facing Africa is corruption and control of resources. In the DRC, the military is stealing minerals to sell to Western companies.
For downloads and more information visit http://www.journeyman.tv/18683/short-films/grand-theft-congo.html
At a remote mine in central DRC, workers with torches and pick axes hack at the ruddy earth. They are mining cassiterite, a mineral vital in the production of laptops and mobile phones. But dispersed among the miners are Congolese Government troops -- in plain clothes for the camera -- literally forcing most workers to work at gunpoint. 'The soldiers always steal everything. They even come to shoot people down the mineshafts,' complains Regina Maponda. Western greed for cassiterite is fuelling the boom -- at an airfield near the mine, soldiers jealously guard their loot as it makes it way to Japan and the West. Conflict mining is a curse, and it is difficult to see what the G8 leaders can do.

Democratic republic
A democratic republic is, strictly speaking, a country that is both a republic and a democracy. It is one where ultimate authority and power is derived from the citizens, and the government itself is run through elected officials.
However, in recent practice, countries that have described themselves as democratic republics have not always held free or fair elections. Two examples of this were the German Democratic Republic and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, communist states commonly known as East Germany and North Vietnam. Another is the Democratic Republic of the Congo which in 2011 was rated by Freedom House as a "not free" country, having a rating of 6.0 (1.0 being completely free and 7.0 being completely unfree). Also, the 'Democratic People's Republic of Korea', commonly known as North Korea, is rated the least democratic in the world, run by a dictator. A republic is a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote.

Republic of the Congo
Coordinates: 1°26′24″S 15°33′22″E / 1.44°S 15.556°E / -1.44; 15.556
The Republic of the Congo (French: République du Congo), also known as Congo, Congo Republic,West Congo, or Congo-Brazzaville, is a country located in Central Africa. It is bordered by five countries: Gabon to the west; Cameroon to the northwest; the Central African Republic to the northeast; the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the east and south; and the Angolan exclave of Cabinda to the southwest.
The region was dominated by Bantu-speaking tribes, who built trade links leading into the Congo River basin. Congo-Brazzaville was formerly part of the French colony of Equatorial Africa. Upon independence in 1960, the former colony of French Congo became the Republic of the Congo. The People's Republic of the Congo was a Marxist–Leninist one-party state from 1970 to 1991. Multi-party elections have been held since 1992, although a democratically elected government was ousted in the 1997 Republic of the Congo Civil War and President Denis Sassou Nguesso has ruled for 26 of the past 36 years.

Democratic Republic of the Congo
Coordinates: 2°52′48″S 23°39′22″E / 2.88°S 23.656°E / -2.88; 23.656
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (/ˈkɒŋɡoʊ/; French pronunciation: [kɔ̃ɡo]; French: République démocratique du Congo), also known as DR Congo, DRC, DROC, RDC, Congo-Kinshasa, or simply Congo is a country located in Central Africa. From 1971 to 1997 it was named Zaïre. The DRC borders the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, and South Sudan to the north; Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania to the east; Zambia and Angola to the south; and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. It is the second largest country in Africa by area, the largest in Subsaharan Africa, and the eleventh largest in the world. With a population of over 75 million, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the most populated officially Francophone country, the fourth most populated nation in Africa and the nineteenth most populated country in the world.
The Congolese Civil Wars, which began in 1996, brought about the end of Mobutu Sese Seko's 31-year reign and devastated the country. The wars ultimately involved nine African nations, multiple groups of UN peacekeepers and twenty armed groups, and resulted in the deaths of 5.4 million people.

Inside Story - Is the president of the DRC clinging on to power?
Kinshasa is normally one of Africa's busiest, most bustling even chaotic cities. But on the streets of the Democratic Republic of Congo's capital barely anything moved on Wednesday. Shopes closed and public transport ground to a halt. A nationwide strike was called for by the country's main opposition group following the annoucement that presidential elections will take place in April 2018, instead of next month when they were due. Critics of President Joseph Kabila say he's using the delay to extend his 15 year long rule, and in so doing, violating the constitution. But President Kabila's government has claimed the election must be postponed so they can properly prepare. So, is this African country sliding into a crisis?

This is what we die for: Child labour in the DRC cobalt mines
This film documents the hazardous conditions in which artisanal miners, including thousands of children, mine cobalt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It goes on to trace how this cobalt is used to power mobile phones, laptop computers, and other portable electronic devices. Using basic hand tools, miners dig out rocks from tunnels deep underground, and accidents are common. Despite the potentially fatal health effects of prolonged exposure to cobalt, adult and child miners work without even the most basic protective equipment. MUSIC BY NIRAJ CHAG

The fight for freedom: A history of the DRC
The DRC is a country of striking contrasts. Trillions of dollars in natural mineral wealth. But home to some of the world’s poorest people. Millions dead. But no international outcry. To fully understand what’s at stake today, let’s go back 131 years.

Drilling for safe drinking water in the DRC | UNICEF
"We have health problems, we get infections because we are not drinking clean water...It has to change," says Marie Matondo, a 31-year-old mother of six in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Manual drilling is being used in Marie's Binza Météo community to transform the health of the entire village. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of three countries in the world in which more than 50% per cent of the population do not have access to safe drinking water.

Mineral Rape in the DRC
Grand Theft Congo (2005): The major problem facing Africa is corruption and control of resources. In the DRC, the military is stealing minerals to sell to Western companies. For downloads and more information visit http://www.journeyman.tv/18683/short-films/grand-theft-congo.html At a remote mine in central DRC, workers with torches and pick axes hack at the ruddy earth. They are mining cassiterite, a mineral vital in the production of laptops and mobile phones. But dispersed among the miners are Congolese Government troops -- in plain clothes for the camera -- literally forcing most workers to work at gunpoint. 'The soldiers always steal everything. They even come to shoot people down the mineshafts,' complains Regina Maponda. Western greed for cassiterite is fuelling the boom -- at a...

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about the Democratic Republic of Congo.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the 2nd largest country in Africa and 11th largest in the world. At 2,344,858 square kilometers, the DRC covers a land area larger than the combined territories of Spain, France, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Lithuania.
2. With a population of over 80 million, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the fourth most-populated nation in Africa and the eighteenth most populated country in the world. The people of the DRC represent over 200 ethnic groups, with nearly 250 languages and dialects spoken throughout the country. Kinshasa, the capital, is the largest French-speaking city in the world.
3. Despite being a poor and conflict-ridden country, the DRC boasts a space program. Privately financed by the Développement Tous Azimuts (DTA), with significant government support, the Troposphere rockets are expected to send cargo to outer space in the near future.
4. Kinshasa and Brazzaville in the next-door Republic of Congo are the closest capital cities in the world (with the exception of Vatican City and Rome). A bridge across the Congo River still needs to be constructed to connect the two political centers.
5. The great apes, such as the bonobos and the eastern lowland gorillas, can be found only in Congo. Along with the common chimpanzee, the bonobo is the closest extant relative to humans. There is no concrete data on population numbers, but the estimate is between 29,500 and 50,000 individuals.
6. The DRC used to have a very strange form of currency. It’s called the Katanga cross. The metal is made of copper and is shaped in the form of an X. During its period of validity, the Katanga cross underwent a change of value from being owned by tribal chiefs and leaders, who used them primarily for large transactions or rituals, to a more widespread use for purchasing perishable goods, although its main and longest use was to bind marriages.
7. The DRC is among the most resource-rich countries on the planet, with an abundance of gold, tantalum, tungsten, and tin – all minerals used in electronics such as cell phones and laptops – yet it continues to have an extremely poor population. Tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold have been dubbed “conflict minerals.” Armed groups use the profits from sales for campaigns of violence.

Kinshasa is normally one of Africa's busiest, most bustling even chaotic cities.
But on the streets of the Democratic Republic of Congo's capital barely anything moved on Wednesday.
Shopes closed and public transport ground to a halt.
A nationwide strike was called for by the country's main opposition group following the annoucement that presidential elections will take place in April 2018, instead of next month when they were due.
Critics of President Joseph Kabila say he's using the delay to extend his 15 year long rule, and in so doing, violating the constitution.
But President Kabila's government has claimed the election must be postponed so they can properly prepare.
So, is this African country sliding into a crisis?
Presenter: Martine Dennis
Guests:
Claude Mashala, national executive secretary of the ruling People's Party for Reconstruction and Democracy.
Theo Ngombo, the UK representative for the opposition party known as the Union For Democracy and Social Progress.

Grand Theft Congo (2005): The major problem facing Africa is corruption and control of resources. In the DRC, the military is stealing minerals to sell to Western companies.

At a remote mine in central DRC, workers with torches and pick axes hack at the ruddy earth. They are mining cassiterite, a mineral vital in the production of laptops and mobile phones. But dispersed among the miners are Congolese Government troops -- in plain clothes for the camera -- literally forcing most workers to work at gunpoint. 'The soldiers always steal everything. They even come to shoot people down the mineshafts,' complains Regina Maponda. Western greed for cassiterite is fuelling the boom -- at an airfield near the mine, soldiers jealously guard their loot as it makes it way to Japan and the West. Conflict mining is a curse, and it is difficult to see what the G8 leaders can do.

Conflict Minerals, Rebels and Child Soldiers in Congo
Warlords, soldiers, and child laborers all toil over a mineral you've never even heard of. Coltan is a conflict mineral in nearly every cell phone, laptop, and electronic device. It's also tied to the deaths of over 5 million people in Congo since 1990.

Inside Story - Is the president of the DRC clinging on to power?
Kinshasa is normally one of Africa's busiest, most bustling even chaotic cities. But on the streets of the Democratic Republic of Congo's capital barely anything moved on Wednesday. Shopes closed and public transport ground to a halt. A nationwide strike was called for by the country's main opposition group following the annoucement that presidential elections will take place in April 2018, instead of next month when they were due. Critics of President Joseph Kabila say he's using the delay to extend his 15 year long rule, and in so doing, violating the constitution. But President Kabila's government has claimed the election must be postponed so they can properly prepare. So, is this African country sliding into a crisis?

This is what we die for: Child labour in the DRC cobalt mines
This film documents the hazardous conditions in which artisanal miners, including thousands of children, mine cobalt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It goes on to trace how this cobalt is used to power mobile phones, laptop computers, and other portable electronic devices. Using basic hand tools, miners dig out rocks from tunnels deep underground, and accidents are common. Despite the potentially fatal health effects of prolonged exposure to cobalt, adult and child miners work without even the most basic protective equipment. MUSIC BY NIRAJ CHAG

Drilling for safe drinking water in the DRC | UNICEF
"We have health problems, we get infections because we are not drinking clean water...It has to change," says Marie Matondo, a 31-year-old mother of six in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Manual drilling is being used in Marie's Binza Météo community to transform the health of the entire village. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of three countries in the world in which more than 50% per cent of the population do not have access to safe drinking water.

In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about the Democratic Republic of Congo.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the 2nd largest country in Africa and 11th largest in the world. At 2,344,858 square kilometers, the DRC covers a land area larger than the combined territories of Spain, France, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Lithuania.
2. With a population of over 80 million, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the fourth most-populated nation in Africa and the eighteenth most populated country in the world. The people of the DRC represent over 200 ethnic groups, with nearly 250 languages and dialects spoken throughout the country. Kinshasa, the capital, is the largest French-speaking city in the world.
3. Despite being a poor and conflict-ridden country, the DRC boasts a space program. Privately financed by the Développement Tous Azimuts (DTA), with significant government support, the Troposphere rockets are expected to send cargo to outer space in the near future.
4. Kinshasa and Brazzaville in the next-door Republic of Congo are the closest capital cities in the world (with the exception of Vatican City and Rome). A bridge across the Congo River still needs to be constructed to connect the two political centers.
5. The great apes, such as the bonobos and the eastern lowland gorillas, can be found only in Congo. Along with the common chimpanzee, the bonobo is the closest extant relative to humans. There is no concrete data on population numbers, but the estimate is between 29,500 and 50,000 individuals.
6. The DRC used to have a very strange form of currency. It’s called the Katanga cross. The metal is made of copper and is shaped in the form of an X. During its period of validity, the Katanga cross underwent a change of value from being owned by tribal chiefs and leaders, who used them primarily for large transactions or rituals, to a more widespread use for purchasing perishable goods, although its main and longest use was to bind marriages.
7. The DRC is among the most resource-rich countries on the planet, with an abundance of gold, tantalum, tungsten, and tin – all minerals used in electronics such as cell phones and laptops – yet it continues to have an extremely poor population. Tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold have been dubbed “conflict minerals.” Armed groups use the profits from sales for campaigns of violence.

Kinshasa is normally one of Africa's busiest, most bustling even chaotic cities.
But on the streets of the Democratic Republic of Congo's capital barely anything moved on Wednesday.
Shopes closed and public transport ground to a halt.
A nationwide strike was called for by the country's main opposition group following the annoucement that presidential elections will take place in April 2018, instead of next month when they were due.
Critics of President Joseph Kabila say he's using the delay to extend his 15 year long rule, and in so doing, violating the constitution.
But President Kabila's government has claimed the election must be postponed so they can properly prepare.
So, is this African country sliding into a crisis?
Presenter: Martine Dennis
Guests:
Claude Mashala, national executive secretary of the ruling People's Party for Reconstruction and Democracy.
Theo Ngombo, the UK representative for the opposition party known as the Union For Democracy and Social Progress.

"We have health problems, we get infections because we are not drinking clean water...It has to change," says Marie Matondo, a 31-year-old mother of six in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Manual drilling is being used in Marie's Binza Météo community to transform the health of the entire village. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of three countries in the world in which more than 50% per cent of the population do not have access to safe drinking water.

Grand Theft Congo (2005): The major problem facing Africa is corruption and control of resources. In the DRC, the military is stealing minerals to sell to Western companies.
For downloads and more information visit http://www.journeyman.tv/18683/short-films/grand-theft-congo.html
At a remote mine in central DRC, workers with torches and pick axes hack at the ruddy earth. They are mining cassiterite, a mineral vital in the production of laptops and mobile phones. But dispersed among the miners are Congolese Government troops -- in plain clothes for the camera -- literally forcing most workers to work at gunpoint. 'The soldiers always steal everything. They even come to shoot people down the mineshafts,' complains Regina Maponda. Western greed for cassiterite is fuelling the boom -- at an airfield near the mine, soldiers jealously guard their loot as it makes it way to Japan and the West. Conflict mining is a curse, and it is difficult to see what the G8 leaders can do.

The Track
January blows through the track,
You're too hot to feel it on your back,
All alone with everyone,
Do you still remember fun?
Tonight the darkness of the 'loin,
You'll need more than a bunch of coins,
She's there for you but not to stay,
You're invisible anyway
I can't hear a thing you say,
(There's a place where we can go)
I can't hear a thing you say,
(Nobody will ever know)
I can't hear a thing you say,
(There's a place where we can go, we are invisible)
I can't hear a thing you say
Loneliness is a part of trust,
Now you give yourself to lust,
If you're looking for love then you're out of luck,
And a blowjob costs you fifty bucks,
Walk around most of the night,
You have to wonder about your life,
The further that you go,
The less you seem to know
I can't hear a thing you say,
(There's a place where we can go)
I can't hear a thing you say,
(Nobody will ever know)
I can't hear a thing you say,
(There's a place where we can go, we are invisible)
I can't hear a thing you say
In broken English, she says to you,
"Hey, I know something we can do,
Do you wanna for a while?"
You wanna believe the smile,
There comes a point when even sex,
Seems empty and irrelevant,
"Can't you stay a while?"
I can't hear a thing you say,
(There's a place where we can go)
I can't hear a thing you say,
(Nobody will ever know)
I can't hear a thing you say,
(There's a place where we can go, we are invisible)
