DR Congo cobalt miners work in treacherous conditions

This is why I won’t buy an electric car

Just curious...if they werent mining cobalt, what would they be doing???

So you are saying that, everyone should stop buying cobalt, because a backwards country like the republic of congo is mining is very bad conditions? How about countries that export gold from bad conditions? Does anyone talk about that? Hopefully artificial intelligence and TESLABOTS will be able to do the mining then. But i bet, because these idiots need a job, they will protest and still want to work in these conditions.

This is the same slavery black Americans went through in America. Gove up your dream to work for nothing for someone else and that someone is not feom that land and they are stealing your resources. No way China or france should own the land in Africa. Fark skin race please wake up.

Explicit slavery

This seems inefficient. Why aren't machines doing this?

Why can’t the nations that benefit from cobalt ie the entire world, properly compensate these people and stop being so greedy

Dangerous, May we Pray for them Father please Protect them ✝️

No wonder the energy is so green.
It dug by hand

Ah, China again! What a class act!

A Cuban liberation kind of similar thing needs to happen in Congo Someone needs to liberate them from their corrupt govt and end capitalism here

But… but… driving an EV is virtuous..

Send these images to that lunatic scum of Greta.

Interesting. The Chinese is there just few years. And what is more interesting is this cobalt is used in Samsung and Apple. I believe an African guy knows where it is ending. He know difference between Chinese and Koreans. Apple is produced in China and by Chinese. So think about it. Africa have NATO army bases!!

Ain't nothing green about this modern slavery!

bro they are chinese they know how trick people -_-

This is the price of Western civilisation and "prosperity". You are all complicit with this crime against humanity.

Most democratic day under capitalism:

Tesla and iPhone batteries smh

Captured on iPhone 😉

No one is forcing them to work there.

$12. ?? 😮😮wtf

101k views… says a lot about todays society…

This is all on the left. They want ev's

Elon musk should be out here😑

They should have nothing to do with any nation outside of Africa. Keep the cobalt for themselves.

They're the ones digging the mines. So they're the ones who should be figuring out how to secure them from collapsing..they use tree branches then complain about how unsafe is 😂

The miners are sold to the Chinese by their own Congolese leaders.

Your country sucks and your government sucks even more. Seeing this makes me soo angry. Imagine being in charge of your own countries resources, imagine building factories to process the resources...make the batteries yourself etc... these are people like you and me. This is just disgraceful! Modern day slavery!!

This is so unfair 😢 these men should be getting the most money for risking there lives ... its so wrong 💔

Ah yes, capitalism.

Get them over to Britain asap 😂😂🇬🇧

CHINA USING AFRICANS AS SLAVES
HORRIBLE
HEARTBREAKING
MONSTERS !

THIS IS SLAVERY
WORKING FOR NOTHING !
WORKING TILL YOU GET CANCER AND DIE
HORRIBLE
WHY THIS IS NOT IN EVERY NEWS CHANNEL IN THE WORLD

It’s too bad Africa government allowed theses situation. The company there paid bills

Did not even mention how toxic Cobalt is.

corruption is rampant in africa. islam is rampant in africa. the problem is the relief efforts and so-called help people receive in africa, none of that actually goes to helping people that need or deserve it. those in power, warlords or corrupt politicians, take it all. maybe embezzle. send to other countries. buy themselves nice things. no longer can we blame the west for everything when islam has spread jihad in africa since muhammad came to exist. congo has richest deposit of gems in the world and could be the richest country, but instead, corruption and islam are problems to prevent success nad growth to african people.

Just finished Cobalt Red. A must-read.

In America owning the cell phone and Tesla that these slaves are working so hard for us oppression

This is not slavery.. their own government is corrupt and they could regulate it.. their own people don't care for them..

Keep crying about climate change as you type on your little phones. You know the phones powered by the battery made with the cobalt mined by the children you see in this video. We're all being duped.. all the earth minerals it takes to build these batteries will destroy this planet, but we're gonna stop hurricanes and floods. KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY... Keep researching these videos. They're never ending, you know, until commitube takes them down..

I'm sad watching this video on my smartphone...

These people are being robbed of the worth of their labor, and the mine owner has the audacity to an armed soldier when they exit the mine hole. Anytime the choice is to eat by working like a field animal, or go hungry if you protest a few days and unionize, is no choice at all. Electric car policies in US will be in full force in only 7 years. A trillion dollar industry and they're working under the worst conditions imaginable.

Government pushing for electric cars just look at what they dont tell you

corrupt country, how do the leaders let this happen??? ill tell you BRIBES

Get China out of your country. You guys find a way to make it on your own .

Everyone here cares???? Yet they will still justify using their phones LOL

where is BLM???????

Humans are going to be the downfall of our kind once again.

If I said no one is forcing them to work, what would u say?
