Do not kid yourselves, criminal organizations, corporations, corrupt governments etc, do not not care in the least about human rights.

They only care about profits and low cost labor, low taxes and low production inputs, even at the expense of human lives.

Africa (gold), Australia(gold and metals), and oil producing countries are in volatile bull trends do to "event risk" sensitivities -namely geopolitical stuff

Politics and profits vs human life/dignity: guess which is more valued.

The whites and thier hunger for Rape and Money is why Africa is how it is today. Corruption was introduce to the kings at another level by whites. whites knowing they were weaker started to trick tribes and move waring tribs that didn't live anywere close to each other right in the path of one another. If you want to get free, be smart and kill those white people ASAP. Thats coming from a Marine that has been in battle. Can't talk with your enemy you must kill them to 0.

Cyanide kills. Chemicals like these seeping into water bodies in the Obuasi area will damning consequences someday. When the quest for more gold keeps getting higher the likelihood of the locals suffering is much higher as well.

These multinationals are simply neo colonialist parasites. They need to get the fuck out of Afrka. They are continually raping the continent and stealing the resources that belong only to the citizens of Afrika. Those South African men were not from South Africa, they were what you call Africaaners, descendants of the Europeans that colonized the region creating the still existing apartheid situation there. Karma is a bitch though, and its coming back to them one day hopefully sooner than later.
