In der Rubaya Mine im Kongo werden 80% des weltweit geförderten Coltan abgebaut. Ein Erz, welches für die Herstellung von Handys, Laptops usw. dringend benötigt wird. Jean Baptiste Bigirimana arbeitet schon seit 7 Jahren in der Mine - und verdient 40 Dollar im Monat.

Exclusive- #Trump supporter #ErikPrince reaches deal with #Congo to help secure [steal] mineral wealth

Excerpt: "Democratic Republic of Congo has vast reserves of #copper, #cobalt, #lithium and #coltan - a mineral used widely in smartphones, computers and electric vehicles - but has been plagued for decades by violence in its eastern region.
"The agreement between Congo and Prince initially involved a plan to deploy contractors to Goma, the capital of North Kivu province and the largest city in eastern Congo. But Goma is now under M23 control and that plan has been put on hold. M23 controls tracts of mineral-rich territory.
"A source close to the Congolese government told Reuters an initial deployment of Prince's advisers was expected to start in the south, far from the area controlled by #M23 and its allies.
" 'If you just look at Katanga, if you look at Kolwezi down just off the Zambian-Congo border, they claim that there's like $40 million a month in lost revenue of what's going out and what's coming in,' the source said.
"A diplomatic source also told Reuters the first stage of Prince's effort in Congo would focus on securing mines and tax revenues in copper-producing Katanga province.
"One of the sources close to Prince said advisers were expected to deploy with technical experts from a company specialised in testing and inspecting commodities. The advisers would initially target larger mines and expand as revenue collection improved.
"The source did not provide details on how the advisers would tackle corruption in the sector that has long drained revenue that would otherwise flow to the state.
"A source in the office of Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi said an agreement in principle had been signed with Prince, but the details on where and how many advisers would be deployed remained to be established."

« DR #Congo vs. #Apple : a push for a more equitable distribution of critical mineral profits » by Bernadette VIVUYA
« On 17 December 2024 […] the Congolese government […] filed a lawsuit against Apple. The government in Kinshasa is accusing the American tech giant of sourcing illegally mined Congolese #minerals from the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and smuggling them through #Rwanda with the help of the #M23 rebel group. »
🇨🇩 DRC | MINERAL WAR
🔴 3,000+ killed in 2 weeks as rebels seize Goma & coltan-rich Nyabibwe.
🪧 M23 profits from coltan, vital for smartphones & EVs—reportedly earning $300K/month.
🪧 UN: Rwanda backs M23, smuggling 150+ tons of DRC minerals. Apple sued over conflict sourcing.
🪧 Experts: Without governance reform, mineral wealth will keep fueling war.

Seit Anfang 2025 wurden nach Angaben des #UN-Flüchtlingshilfswerks mehr als 400.000 Menschen aus ihrer Heimat vertrieben.
Der Sprecher des UN-Hochkommissars für Menschenrechte, Jeremy #Laurence, sagte, es habe Berichte über sexuelle Gewalt durch kongolesische Truppen gegeben.
Es gebe Berichte, wonach in Süd-Kivu mindestens 50 Frauen vergewaltigt worden seien, manche von mehreren Männern, sagte er.
Der kongolesische Außenminister warf Ruanda zudem vor, die Demokratische Republik Kongo zu besetzen, um deren enorme Bodenschätze wie #Gold und #Coltan auszubeuten, das zur Herstellung von #Batterien für Mobiltelefone und Elektrofahrzeuge verwendet wird.
„Ich bin der Meinung, dass für Ruanda ein Embargo auf alle seine #Mineralienexporte verhängt werden sollte. Das Land sollte nicht von dem profitieren, was im Osten der Demokratischen Republik Kongo illegal und unter Zwangsarbeit abgebaut wird“, sagte sie.
