I admit it. There are so many things about Africa that I just do not understand. I feel that may be deliberate, based on the United States education system and the format of the US’s version of history and current politics. However, the things that I have learned about Africa recently have proven that the continent and diaspora have a very rich history, but even more complex government and…

Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives - Booksvenue.com

An unflinching investigation reveals the human rights abuses behind the Congo’s cobalt mining operation―and the moral implications that affect us all.

Cobalt Red is the searing, first-ever exposé of the immense toll taken on the people and environment of the Democratic Republic of the Congo by cobalt mining, as told through the testimonies of the Congolese people themselves. Activist and researcher Siddharth Kara has traveled deep into cobalt territory to document the testimonies of the people living, working, and dying for cobalt. To uncover the truth about brutal mining practices, Kara investigated militia-controlled mining areas, traced the supply chain of child-mined cobalt from toxic pit to consumer-facing tech giants, and gathered shocking testimonies of people who endure immense suffering and even die mining cobalt.

Cobalt is an essential component to every lithium-ion rechargeable battery made today, the batteries that power our smartphones, tablets, laptops, and electric vehicles. Roughly 75 percent of the world’s supply of cobalt is mined in the Congo, often by peasants and children in sub-human conditions. Billions of people in the world cannot conduct their daily lives without participating in a human rights and environmental catastrophe in the Congo. In this stark and crucial book, Kara argues that we must all care about what is happening in the Congo―because we are all implicated.

Wieso muss der Junge ausgerechnet in einer primitiven Cobaltmine Kindersklave sein? Kann er nicht Schokolade, Kaffee oder sonst was leckeres herstellen, wie sich das gehört? Dann hätte sich die #LDK18 erbarmt, ihm gnädig zu helfen! Aber Gut. Freude am Fahren hat halt ihren Preis. https://t.co/wa49HRLNvn
