.....................................................................................................................................................................................

PLIGHT IN CONGO.

Since 1996 over 6 million people have died in the Democratic republic of Congo!!!

So that, people in the Western Countries can benefit from its Natural resources.

Congo is the extremely rich in Gold, Copper, Uranium, Diamond, Coltan, Mercury, Cobalt, Tin and many others.

Congo has 64% of the Earth's Coltan.

#Coltan is a precious mineral that is needed in manufacturing our modern electronics like Computers, Smartphones, Jet Engines, Printers, Nintendo, iPads, Playstations, Laptops, Xbox, iPhones and etc etc.

In 1946, a strategic minerals stockpiling Law was passed to obtain and stockpile Cobalt.

With the highest reserve of Cobalt on the Planet, #Congo was targeted.

#Cobalt is a strategic and precious mineral that is essential for Aerospace, Military and Defence Industry.

As the United State and United Kingdom provide a Financial Aid and Military Aid to Countries like Uganda and Rwanda, These Neighboring countries plunder Congo's Natural resources as the death toll rises.

In 4 Studies, United Nation implicated "MULTINATIONAL COMPANIES" in sourcing Coltan from Congo, stating that, these companies as the "ENGINE OF THE UNENDING CONFLICT" in Congo.

As the World benefits from Congo's Natural riches, Congolese Men, Women and Children continue to be raped, tortured, starved, displaced and killed.

In 2010, a Leaked United Nation report said, "Crimes of Genocide" perpetuated in Congo by the Rwandan Troops and Ugandan Troops.

There is little media attention and coverage by the International Medias like AlJazeera, BBC, Washington Post, CNN, New York Times The Wall Street journal & etc etc, on "What is happening in Congo".

When Congo is often Covered by the International Medias, it is often about Rebels Committing mass massacres.

What their reports do not cover are, the Fundings, Training and the Arming of these rebel groups by foreign Governments like US, Uganda, UK and Rwanda.

Nothing is ever mentioned about the Western Countries backing the Quos, Wars and Assassinations or Involvement of foreign Cooperation in "Looting of Congo".

In Congo, over 30 women are raped everyday, millions are displaced, over 6 million are dead! Of which, Half are children under the Age of 25 years.

Everyone in the World should rise up to reprimand this gross Genocide, War, Torture and Terrorism fueled up by Neighboring Countries of Congo and at the same time, backed up by Western Countries.

Of the Plunder done in Congo, by Foreign countries, the Government of Congo has turned so harshty to Foreigners entering in to Congo.
