July 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.

Congolese people were out in London for the 2nd time this week protesting against the elections in Congo right now. Elections which have been marred in alleged corruption, fraud & election violence. Joseph Kabila has announced himself president & the international community recognised the results which many people & international observers have said are not valid. How can this happen? Congolese people want to be heard, to create a platform where the politics of Congo can be discussed. Mainstream media has not been reporting on the elections in Congo or the protests that have been happening in Canada, Belgium, US, France, UK & South Africa! We need to change how Congo is reported & we need to start NOW! PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO & OTHERS ON THE CONGO ELECTIONS & PROTESTS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE ON GOING GENOCIDE THAT IS HAPPENING & THAT IS BEING IGNORED BY MAINSTREAM MEDIA!
