July 2005The 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.

The UN profits off the destruction of Africa, do not always be so taken by these organizations that seem to be everywhere and do nothing.The UN aid workers and soldiers have been reported to have been exploiting young girls in Africa and Haiti for sex by encouraging prostitution as a means for them to gain money for food and personal items.Where are the names of the individuals and companies supplying the spark and weapons for the conflicts?

this is how we blacks will never be like the developped countries. on pense toujours que l'aide viendra des blancs, des autres. l'heure de missionaires est déjà passé, on est habitué à tendre la main pour qu'on nous donne toujours. et on veut blâmer les autres pour tous nos maux. quand es-ce qu'on va commencer à prendre nos responsabilités? on est tous hypocrites, ou egoïstes, toujours voulant nos propres intérêts. c'est vraiment triste et revoltant.

However, the Congolese citizens should stop agreeing to mine. They are agreeing to destroy their country for $5.00. It is a lose, lose situation, they aren't receiving the benefit of their bargain which is money or food for their work. But there action are deeper than that, they are allowing the 2nd largest rain forest and their Country be destroyed. Nothing to export if they don't have workers.
