regulate the export of coltan from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Created by F.F. on July 26, 2015

The democratic republic of Congo has known since 1996 the largest humanitarian crisis since WWII. The illegal exploitation of coltan is one of the major component of the crisis.

Help us breaking the silence and making the world a better place.

The Tragedy:
1. It is estimated that nearly six million people have died as a result of conflict and conflict related causes in the Democratic Republic of Congo since 1996. Forty-five thousand continue to die each month.
2. Hundreds of thousands of women have been raped as weapon of war.
3. 80% of the population lives on 30 cents or less per day.
4. The international community is systematically looting Congo’s spectacular wealth.

The best way to help the DRC is to stop its illegal mining trades, starting by the most important one, the coltan!
