Special report : Inside the Congo cobalt mines that exploit children

Why is no one telling me this??? I'll remember them everytime I see a gadjet. Will put it in my efforts to stop buying one unless it's ridiculously necessary. These people don't deserve it. We can live with old gadjets guys. I'm cancelling my plan to work as a businesswoman who would probably needs updated gadjets. I'll do other work for life.

Complicated...world full of mastermind and blindness.

This is freaking slavery this is ridiculous. So freaking america and china is benefiting from this slavery from black people still

Damn, lithium & cobalt is a curse to Congo.

This is disgusting !!!! Praying for Congo

blame Rwanda ,uganda , the west ,china or whoever but it will always comeback to congolese puppet ,corrupt and incompetent leaders , we need to stop being victims and point the fingers at those who lead us and ourselves first.

It hurts even more because I'm watching this on my smartphone💔

Oh wow blame the Chinese when its European companies benefitting.

Their government does not advocate for them or negotiate on their behalf .

mama africa❤❤❤❤

Why are we like this?

People need to start boycotting lithium-ion batteries and any other product made from cobalt. Unfortunately the only way to show most big companies that people are against what they are doing is to hurt their bottom line.😡💵

This is just too f*cked up!

Okay so black people are enslaving black people now?... After all the finger pointing about what went on 100 years ago? They are making millions selling this cobalt to countries all over the world and they still choose to use slaves instead of paying people just to save money. Am I understanding this right?

даёшь кобальт!

This is fucked

China China China. But what the reporter doesn't stress is that China makes all the stuff we happily buy and fight like starving Dogs over on Black Friday sales........
If us Westerners were less "Materialistic" China wouldn't want the Cobalt in the first place to make the things we Westerners are hypnotised into desiring.

Our world is truly screwed. May god save us all.

Anyway "some prisons don't have walls,"..... a child's childhood is being confiscated for the mining...... and growing up without experiencing it's beauties and benefits..... how painful!!

Be a part of the green revolution today!

Africa has all the resources & none of the power to use it to their advantage

Just CAPITALISM working don't disturbe

Meawneihlw we have idiots thinking they’re victims because of pronouns.. the difference in priveldge is just insane.

But ya.. enjoy your ev and virtue signalling

Read the book "Cobalt Red"

Where is the international outcry over this grave injustice?

Goku solos 🔥

Why don’t the super rich supply them with supplies AT THE LEAST! Face mask, shovels and safety equipment.

Colonial exploitation…not. It’s Apple.

Find these elites that are exploiting these innocent people and take everything back off them and give it back to these people! This is inhumane and evil!

😢

CHINA HAS THE RIGHTS TO MOST ALL THESE MINES IN THE CONGO.. CHINA STILL ENSLAVES THEIR PEOPLE AS WELL AS THESE PEOPLE AND PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT ABOUT IT AND CRYING ABOUT REPERATIONS IN THE US.. WHAT A LOAD OF HORSE CRAP!!

Big Bad Biden and his push for all to have Electric vehicles is a just blessing to this world.. NOT!!!!! LOOK AT THE SLAVE LABOR THAT STILL GOES ON IN THIS WORLD AND PEOPLE ARE STILL CRYING ABOUT THE US... GIVE ME MONEY... GIVE ME MONEY.. BUNCH OF LIBERAL DEMOCRATS ALWAS WANT SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.. LIKE THE UAW UNION NOW WANTING 40% MORE PAY FOR A 32 HOUR WORK WEEK AND STILL GET PAID FOR 40..

OOH,dont forget to mention the elephant in the room.ELECTRIC VEHICLES.I noticed they were conveniently left out of the video.Hmmmm,wonder why.Odds are the journalist making it drive them.

U know and if someone came around with a better job that they could do instead they would probably end up dead or an out of their by the owners of the mines

This is really break my heart where is the UN.

This is enslaving them to get lithium and I'm sure they're not paid much

Can someone please show this video to the Elon Musk, and other CEOs of this world....

China and USA run drc

And cobalt is what is used to make electric car batteries. Where are all the stop OIL protesters this is what they want. Also where is BLM and all the rich celebrities.

So what do we do? Because this was coming up to 7 years ago, and it's still happening, and in fact this year DRC is starting up even more stuff with lithium production. It will only get worse with the rollout of EV's and all this "disposable" tech where battery replacements and other repairs are near impossible because """"sEcUrItY"""", and they just expect us to chuck it away and buy a new one?

God Bless the Youth

Atrocious.

So Americans can have their electric vehicles

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But American is racist 😂

Cobalt is also needed for catalytic converters in gasoline cars ban catalytic converter
