The mineral Akilimali mentioned is Coltan. It's completely unrelated to Cobalt so seems strange that you mentioned it in your video title

I worked in the Kivu for a year. My heart bleeds for the Congo, the most appalling shame for the West: open season for the worst scum bags and most exploitive companies. No one gives a sh… 🤬😢

[@adrianariaratnam5817]

Thank you for sharing. My heart bleeds for the people of Kivu ; they've suffered horribly for decades, with no respite. Whether it's those manupilative foreign mining companies and govts, neighboring countries and their militias or the national army.......death and destruction is their constant companion. God help them!

Free my country 🇨🇩🕊️

Imagine working like a slave for phone companies and not even be able to have your own phone 😡💢💯

[@hajeevibes]

In my experience, the conflicts in Congo and Sudan are the two most obfuscated conflicts I've attempted to read. It almost seems intentional because relevant facts are rarely part of the discussion. Who are the belligerent parties, how are they funded, what are the ultimate aims, how are these conflicts connected with other current or historical conflicts? Even after this piece, I'm confused as to Rwanda's role

[@bertanelson8062]

Keep investigating. You'll find bits & pieces about Rwanda. Surely you can see that it is a puppet of U Know Who.

[@sambaxrock]

Never forget DRC. Mama Africa weeps.

be good to have links in your description to people who cover this area

Few of us have ever considered how the manufactured materials around us were produced, and at what cost to ordinary people far away from us.

[@bullheimer]

7 million displaced. Similar to Sudan, right? Also ignored. Is US responsible for Congo, as it is in Sudan? It would appear so, if Ruwanda is a US vassal. What a wonderful country i live in.

[@rsavage-r2v]

The CIA had Patrice Lumumba assassinated. There's a chapter about it in William Blum's "Killing Hope". There's also the history of European colonialism there. I know less about the more recent history but it seems that the West has played a large role.

[@rhysbaker449]

Thanks for covering this.

[@CompassionIsPower]

Free Congo!!

[@carmelmeaney6637]

Thank you Mr Akilimali Chomachoma for letting the entire world know the truth Aameen Thank you for letting the world know about Mr Christian Malanga With the permission of the Creato(all praise be to Him) of us all the outcome of the trial will be a result which will be a coolness for the eyes of the men, women and children of Kinchassa and a comfort for the hearts of the children, the women and the men of Kinchassa Aameen May Rwanda and Uganda change their ways of thinking and unite with and assist DRC in building peace, stability and prosperity for all of the countries of Africa and refuse any assistance from any of the countries in the world who are corrupted traitors and lyers Aameen

Always appreciate BT News providing journalists to read and follow in countries that can be hard to find reliable sources on.

[@HaveanOreshnik]

Ahh yes Tesla's got business there

[@nicoleilunga8493]

Free Congo and thank you for keep talking about my country.

[@teoengchin]

By the way, the mineral Akilimali mentioned thats fueling the conflict is Coltan. Coltan is completely unrelated to Cobalt. Its strange for Cobalt to be mentioned in the video title since no one in the entire video mentions Cobalt

[@FrostRare]

Good thing Eugene didn’t editorialize.

[@joannaramos9098]

This make me sick

[@alexabood2516]

4:36 "But ah, his movement didn't really succeed". Considering Malanga instantly got shot in the head, I would have to agree.

[@ronaldmadziro5679]

Time to stop Kagame and his brother in crime M7. Free Congo! free Haiti,Free Palestine.

[@monahaque1660]

SHAMEFUL SITUATUON IN CONGO.

But electric cars are so cool! We're going to ignore this inconvenient truth. We are saving the world ~ Liberals

[@sinekonata]

I know they're busy right now but since they're helping in the Sahel and Syria, can't Russia do something to fight the US fascists of East Congo? Is there cooperation being discussed with Tshisekedi?
