Congo's Blood Coltan war

[Hanzze1]

Ones pleasure is anothers pain. That is why neither love nor hate is the path to peace.

oh my god tha t guy was crucified

[ITHEREONETHATHASNT]

we are all going to hell for doing nothing to stop this our fathers and grandfathers stood up fought the nazis but were silent here. Its insane.

[paladinee]

@ITHEREONETHATHASNT

"we" are the cause. Did you know that U.K, U.S and Belgium buy coltan from Ruanda and Uganda, strange since these countries have no coltan in there soil. Maybe its beacause Congo singed an exclusive agreement with China to mine its coltan. So the before named countries armed Ruanda and Uganda so they can "invade" Congo. (pure chance they invade the zones with the mines :P) Like a certain congressman once said : " Thank God for Gaza, that stops people noticing about Congo."

BURRROS!!

Para qué cambian tan seguido de móvil. NO HACE FALTA!!

Es mucho mejor para la humanidad no cambiar de móvil antes de 5 u 8 años de uso. Por más barato que t lo den.

BURROS!!

[kalaxa]

deberian avergonzarse ustedes los gringos. son el principal socio comercial del coltan. benefician a ruanda y uganda pa ke maten mas congoleños y a cambio reciben mas coltan. deberian avergonzarse

[hariguruom]

Kalaxa....escribes en un pc portatil? tu movil es 3g? si es que si, a una de las dos o a las dos preguntas....avergüenzate tu...

[kkk4m1k4z333]

The only way to stop this is stop buying unnecesary electronic stupid devices...buy recicled products, here in my country there is a company that restores many electronic products such as last gen cellphones and sell it at very low prices...

Buy only necesary things for example buy a cellphone that has mp3 player inside instead of buying a cellphone and a mp3 player do you know that i mean?

[kkaratekidd95]

unfortunately, buying recycled products dnt help cause the useless material gets discarded in poverty striken countries like china which the toxins from the metals pollute the water causing acid rain and the highest amount of cancer is the world =(

[LasxMalvinasxArg]

Sad but this is the human condition and happen in many ways and form in this life, men controlling other to control wealth and power through the weakness of the mass.

[kkaratekidd95]

but tht is where ur wrong, the kids and people that join are the orphans because of wars caused by europe for splitting africa up. So since they dnt have anywhere to go and no way to survive, the join these groups to live.

[NoGufff]

There is no easy solution to this problem. If Congolese coltan is boycotted, many victims of this war will lose their only source of income and perhaps be no better off. The tantalite (aka coltan ) mine in Australia has been shut down due inability to compete with Congolese ore.

[micheemubi]

@NoGufff

are you serious? when you say that theres no EASY solution ? why? just because some guys will loose their Jobs ? maybe u didnt notice but those poor guys have lost something more important THEIR LIFE ... congolese dont eat Coltan they dont need it if US or Europe need it they can get it but in another way than war, massacre, and rape

[04724349]

I am sorry to let you know that Coltan is not only in cellphones. it is in my mom's pacemaker, my grandfather's hearing aid, the CAD and MRI machines at the local hospital and in many, many places. the thing is that you can get it in Brazil, Canada and Australia, but the greedy companies prefer to get it cheap from Congo. The solution is certify the origin of coltan with a seal of origin and a process of certification. Don't generalize please, this is a huge misconception that we need to stop.

[RAZIELsilverDRAGON]

but is also sad that these people in power that make profit with coltan also use chain trails and add things to our food and water so we get sick. the united nations and the people in charge of world health work together to make us sick and die, we are no more than slaves to them and now we are too many and they want us dead, haven't you wondered why hearth problems, cancer and aids appear to have as a target black population as if they were genetically engineered? u me and the people r victims.

[04724349]

I agree with you in the fact that all of what we eat nowadays is chemically modified so we will last less. I don't know if they have targeted the black population only. I have Hispanic origin and I feel targeted too. I believe that we need to start using things more consciously and less. A cellphone is just that and we need to be happy with it.

[Hamayhamayhamay]

this is why i hate niggers who think they should be treated special cuz of slavery, be glad ur in the u.s and not in the the giant, hairy, dingle-berrie filled continent called africa.

[tomestubbs]

I've been talking about this for a few years to the glazed over eyes of those who have not the imagination to understand the scale of this war. The DRC is worstt war zone in the world and the largest death toll since WWII. This video puts it in a powerful way and yes the gorilla habitat is also threatened and Cobalt and copper R also major resources!

[bantunani]

ThanX a lot for this real big new Fight that I want to make mine as I'm tired of this mascarade.

Contact us, I would like to use your video for my new video clip that shoud be broadcast on december on 7 TV Channels.

Capitalism suck blood of the innocents day by day.

[Strgrl4eva]

so what? we should throw awy our cell phones?.....

[Kenohtensei]

I don't think we can just throw them away...But commercials always enticing us to throw away last year's model and get the latest one. there are people paying with their blood for this...Whether you care or not, at least you know what's going on. Make your choice and live with it...

[av63302005]

true, it doesn't hurt to keep the same phone for 4-5 years, as long as your careful and content with it.

[Kaohi201]

thanks for sharing this.

its like the 2nd holocaust.

[Huzz]

Great video. Everyone who owns a phone needs to see this.

[qazwas2001]

This is the ugly face of capitalism.

[karukera7]

yes, capitalism is a blood sucker

[JustMeNoOther]

@qazwas2001 Is the ugly face of the human race, called indifference and total depravity. Because everybody is watching this video and then 3:59 minutes later everybody forget it. Because my friends are calling me by mobil, I play video games in my X-Box in my plasma TV, and then want to play mp3 in the iPOD, and check e-mail using the laptop and chat hours with same friends ... and next day if someone say Do heard about coltan? .... you will say nay.

[joelalcantar69]

Imagenes muy fueres pero nos muestran la gran distacia que ha generado el capitalismo en todos nosotros. Nuestra vida debe ser moderada y no seamos consumistas.

Images very cruel. but show us the great distance that capitalism has generated in all of us. Our life must be moderate and not being consumed.

[coltan90]
