Le site Africa Intelligence révélait cette semaine que Félix Tshisekedi avait dépêché en février des émissaires à Washington pour tenter de passer un accord avec l'administration américaine. Accord qui consisterait à sécuriser l'approvisionnement américain des minerais provenant de la RDC en échange d'une pression accrue sur Kigali. Dans l'est du pays, les ressources minières comme l'or, l'étain, le tantale et le tungstène sont extrêmement convoitées. C'est une des causes de l'instabilité dans la région. Dans une étude pour la fondation Jean-Jaurès parue cette semaine, le diplomate Pierre Jacquemot, ancien ambassadeur de France à Kinshasa, s'intéresse aux fonctionnements de ces mines et à la façon dont les minerais parviennent à quitter le pays. RFI : Le titre de l'étude que vous publiez pour la Fondation Jean Jaurès est évocateur. Vous ne parlez pas du conflit dans l'est de la RDC mais des conflits, expliquez-nous...Pierre Jacquemot : Oui, parce que ces conflits se développent sur un territoire très important qui va de la frontière de l'Ouganda à la frontière du Burundi. Bien évidemment, les caractéristiques communes de ces conflits, c'est la violence dont sont victimes les populations. Cela se traduit par des pillages, des viols et des déplacements massifs. C'est cela la constance de conflits qui durent maintenant depuis une trentaine d'années.À l'origine, vous le dites, il y a d'abord des conflits locaux très ancrés qui ont débouché sur la création de milices d'autodéfense et de nombreux groupes armés dans toute la région...On compte actuellement environ 120 groupes armés. Ils sont de différentes tailles. Certains ont une taille régionale ou même des ramifications à Kinshasa, voire à l'étranger. C'est le cas du célèbre M23. D'autres sont nés d'activités de milices d'autodéfense, qui ont pris parfois une place plus importante et sont devenus relativement autonomes. Il y a donc une foultitude de groupes armés qui se financent essentiellement par les activités minières, par le commerce des mines et qui achètent des armes par ce truchement.On sait que la région a un sous-sol très riche. Les ressources minières comme l'or, l'étain, le tantale et le tungstène sont extrêmement convoitées. Vous décrivez minutieusement le fonctionnement de ces mines et la façon dont sortent les minerais du pays. Qui a réellement la main aujourd'hui sur ces minerais, en particulier dans le Kivu ?Ces mines sont contrôlées par des groupes armés très largement, mais également par l'armée nationale. Là, j'évoque la situation qui prévalait encore au mois de décembre dernier, les choses ayant profondément évolué avec le déploiement du M23 sur deux provinces et la reprise d'un certain nombre d'activités minières par ce groupe qui est appuyé par des forces rwandaises.Vous écrivez que ces minerais sont exportés par deux corridors principaux : la voie ougandaise et la voie rwandaise. Quelle est leur destination finale ?Une partie, en particulier l'or, passe par Dubaï et par les Émirats arabes unis. Là, il y a une liaison directe entre l'Ouganda et Dubaï pour de l'or qui vient principalement de l'Ituri. L'Ouganda ne produit quasiment pas d'or mais le transforme légèrement et ensuite l'exporte. Pour ce qui concerne le tantale, c'est à peu près la même chose, pour des quantités qui sont importantes et qui permettent au Rwanda de dire qu'ils sont le principal exportateur. En fait, ce tantale – on l'appelle localement le coltan – vient très largement du Nord-Kivu, notamment d'une mine. Rien que la prise d'une mine par les forces du M23 appuyées par le Rwanda, la mine de Rubaya permet de contrôler 20% de la production mondiale de tantale qui est aussi indispensable pour l'électronique. Ce tantale traverse donc la frontière, fait l'objet d'une première transformation au Rwanda. Il part ensuite vers l'Asie et part vers l'Europe et l'Amérique du Nord, faussement étiqueté, blanchi par différents mécanismes que l'on a maintenant parfaitement identifiés, qui sont censés décontaminer, moraliser les filières, mais qui en fait ne le sont pas. Ce qui fait que, par exemple, Apple est accusée d'utiliser pour ses iPads ou ses iPhones du tantale qui vient de ces régions en conflit et qui sont contrôlées par des groupes armés.On parle beaucoup de la prédation des ressources minières mais vous le rappelez dans cette étude, ce n'est pas la seule explication à l'instabilité dans la région...Il y a un terreau ethno-sociologique qui est important puisqu'on a une cohabitation de ce qu'on appelle localement des autochtones et des allochtones. Les allochtones étant majoritairement d'origine Tutsis. Et dès lors qu'il y a des situations conflictuelles, on assiste au réveil de ces tensions ethniques. Ces tensions sont alimentées par des rumeurs diverses, des infox diverses. Cela exacerbent les tensions communautaires. Puis, il y a un troisième facteur : c'est l'incapacité du gouvernement congolais, il faut bien le dire à assurer la sécurité des populations et une activité économique qui permette une juste répartition des richesses au bénéfice des populations. À lire aussiEst de la RDC: à quel point le conflit est-il lié aux minerais du sous-sol congolais?À lire aussiLa RDC suspend les exportations de cobalt pour voir remonter les prix

Explosionen, Schüsse, Tote, Hundertausende sind auf der Flucht. Im Osten der Demokratischen Republik Kongo eskaliert die Situation, die Millionenstadt Goma ist unter Kontrolle der von Ruanda unterstützten M23-Rebellen. Ein Konflikt mit langer Geschichte breitet sich aus, afrikanische Staatschefs bitten um internationale Hilfe. Es geht um Macht und Kontrolle über eine Region, die reich an Bodenschätzen ist: Gold, Diamanten, Coltan. Das ist in Elektroautos und Handys verbaut und nicht nur chinesische, auch deutsche Unternehmen nutzen diese Ressourcen. Aber es geht um mehr: Nämlich um eine afrikanische Region, die unter historischer Last seit langem nach Frieden und Demokratie strebt. Was können andere afrikanische Länder, was können die Vereinten Nationen, was kann Deutschland dazu beitragen? Über diese Fragen sprechen wir mit unserer ARD-Korrespondentin Naveena Kottoor, dem Leiter der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung im Kongo Jakob Kerstan, dem Ruanda-Experten Gerd Hankel und Maximilian Graefen von der Zoologischen Gesellschaft Frankfurt.

La guerrilla M23 está atacando una región del Congo llamada Kivu del Norte. Esta guerrilla tiene el apoyo de Ruanda y algunos países occidentales. Nada es casualidad, ya que en la región de Kivu se encuentra casi todas las reservadas mundiales de coltan, el mineral necesario para construir los teléfonos móviles.

Im Osten der Demokratischen Republik Kongo hat die Rebellengruppe M23 die Stadt Goma eingenommen. Hunderttausende Menschen müssen ihre Heimat verlassen. Bei dem Konflikt geht es unter anderem um Rohstoffe wie Gold und Coltan.**********Ihr könnt uns auch auf diesen Kanälen folgen: TikTok auf&ab , TikTok wie_geht und Instagram .

Ce matin, les journalistes et experts de RFI répondaient à vos questions sur la visite du général al-Burhan à Bamako, l'enlèvement d'une ressortissante autrichienne au Niger et les accusations d'ingérences à l'encontre d'Elon Musk.

Dans l'est de la RDC, depuis la prise du site minier de Rubaya en territoire de Masisi par les rebelles du M23, soutenus par le Rwanda, les autorités de la province du Nord-Kivu se plaignent du manque à gagner dans l'exploitation des minerais. Avant la guerre, le secteur minier contribuait à plus de 40 % au budget de la province. Aujourd'hui, le Nord-Kivu dit avoir eu sa production de coltan amputée de 100 tonnes par mois, pour une valeur d'environ 7 millions de dollars. De notre correspondant à Goma,Au siège de Kivu Mineral Resources SARL, une des entreprises de Goma qui achète des minerais, l'ambiance n'est pas au rendez-vous. Le chiffre d'affaires de l'entreprise est en baisse à cause des problèmes d'approvisionnement. « Nous avons perdu principalement dans le territoire de Masisi - Rubaya, Ngungu, explique Yvette Mwanza, la directrice générale de l'entreprise, également présidente de la Chambre des mines au sein du conseil provincial de la Fédération des entreprises du Congo (FEC), au Nord-Kivu. Toutes ces localités produisent énormément de coltan [colombite-tantalite, NDLR]. Mais pour le coltan, on ne reçoit presque plus rien. On peut faire facilement 30 tonnes du coltan par mois. Maintenant si vous prenez le coltan à partir du Maniema, sur tout un mois, vous pouvez recevoir seulement trois tonnes. »Environ 15 % de la production mondiale de tantaleLa prise de Rubaya par le M23 affecte plus de 6 000 creuseurs artisanaux qui se retrouvent sans emploi, selon la coopérative des creuseurs miniers artisanaux de Masisi. Beaucoup de creuseurs ont fui, ce qui inquiète également l'ONU. « Au Nord-Kivu, la consolidation du contrôle administratif du M23 sur les territoires de Masisi et Rutshuru au Nord-Kivu lui a permis d'établir un contrôle total sur la production de coltan, a souligné Bintou Keita, la cheffe de la Monusco, lors de son dernier passage au Conseil de sécurité à New York en septembre dernier. Le commerce en provenance de la région de Rubaya, qui selon les estimations fournit plus de 15 % de la production mondiale de tantale, génère environ 300 000 dollars par mois pour le groupe armé. Cette situation est profondément préoccupante et doit cesser. »Devoir de vigilance des acheteursDans ce contexte, les États et les entreprises doivent prendre leur responsabilité selon la société civile. « Toutes ces guerres que nous vivons sont alimentées par l'exploitation minière, souligne Alexis Muhima, leader du groupe thématique Mines et Hydrocarbures au sein de la société civile du Nord-Kivu. Et donc, pour nous, si tous ces États et entreprises qui s'approvisionnent en minerais dans cette zone respectent le devoir de diligence, cela va couper tout lien entre l'approvisionnement de ces groupes armés en minerai illicite. »Le M23-AFC, en mai dernier, avait annoncé interdire à ses hommes d'accéder aux sites miniers. Cependant, plusieurs membres de la société civile dénoncent le trafic de minerais, qui seraient ensuite exportés illégalement vers le Rwanda et l'Ouganda.

Welche Rolle spielen Rohstoffe bei Konflikten? Nicht nur Waffenexporte, sondern auch ungerechte Wirtschaftsbeziehungen sind Grund für Kriege weltweit. Die Ursachen liegen also direkt vor unserer Haustür. Die gute Nachricht: Mögliche Lösungen können also auch hier in Deutschland gefunden werden. In dieser Folge sprechen Jan und Linda darüber, was eine Bundesregierung tun könnte, um Konflikte weltweit zu lösen. Bisher agiert Deutschland eher widersprüchlich: So wurde zum Beispiel in Pakistan die zivile Krisenprävention unterstützt, aber gleichzeitig auch Waffen geliefert. Jan van Aken und Linda Peikert thematisieren den Handel mit Kakao, Diamanten und Coltan, ein Erz, welches für die Produktion von Handys notwendig ist, und wie diese Rohstoffe die Konflikte an der Elfenbeinküste, in Angola und dem Kongo befeuert haben und es immer noch tun.

In January, the Kenyan government announced the discovery of coltan deposits in six counties across the country. This highly valuable mineral is used to manufacture high-tech devices like electric car batteries and mobile phones. The discovery of coltan could place Kenya on the map as a coltan exporter, a sector currently dominated by DR Congo. It is also expected to create jobs in an underdeveloped part of the country. Our Kenya correspondents Olivia Bizot and Elodie Cousin report.

Si chiama Coltan ed è un minerale estremamente prezioso impiegato nell'industria elettronica e informatica. Indispensabile per fabbricare condensatori e batterie degli smartphone, lo si estrae prevalentemente in Africa. Nell'ultimo anno e mezzo proprio la mappa dell'Africa Centrale risulta costellata di feroci colpi di Stato. Questa mappa dell'instabilità politica è quasi perfettamente sovrapponibile a quella dei luoghi da cui si estraggono materie prime ambite e contese come il Coltan. È una mappa di sfruttamento selvaggio, di violenza e guerre per il controllo delle risorse, in nome degli interessi di Europa e Stati Uniti, di Russia e Cina. È la mappa del dolore per milioni di esseri umani. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

October may be the month that our fascination with all things ghoulish and grisly reaches its peak, but for many people, a fascination with the darker side of life isn't limited to Halloween. Coltan Scrivner, PhD, talks about why people are drawn to horror, true crime and other scary genres; and whether terrifying entertainment can actually be good for some people's mental health and leave them better equipped to handle real-life challenges.

Welcome to Where Is My Mind? A podcast about how we can better look after our heads and our hearts in the head-melty chaos of the modern world.  Have you ever wondered why you're so obsessed with true crime? Or why you love being absolutely scared sh*tless by the latest terrifying blockbuster? It's because we all have this thing called morbid curiosity, a natural interest in the dark, unpleasant parts of life.  Niall is joined by Coltan Scrivner, a Research Scientist at the Recreational Fear Lab at Aarhus University who is carrying out pioneering research in the psychology of morbid curiosity. He is also joined by TV personality and dedicated true crime fan Muireann O'Connell, who tells us why she loves the genre but why she also had to take a break from it for a time last year. Niall speaks to both about why we're so drawn to the darkness, how we can sometimes find it enjoyable and what we can learn from consuming real or fictional dangerous situations.  There are some sensitive topics discussed in this episode, so please take care.  Follow Niall on IG @bressie, TikTok @niallbreslin, FB @whereismymindpodcast and Twitter @nbrez and visit his website: www.niallbreslin.com.

Gadget Recycler-Ape Lover.  This is how Eric Ronay signs off on all his emails. From his warehouse in Louisville, Kentucky, Eric works diligently to not only save gorillas and their habitats, but also to save our precious environment while enacting lasting culture change. Eric, whose vision is clearly seen through the work that Eco-Cell does, wants to empower people, especially teenagers and young adults, to demand sustainable changes within the technology world.'What we do is a labour of love - I want to see a different kind of consumption culture.'In an average cell phone, there are several rare minerals. Coltan, for instance, is a mineral that makes tantalum. Tantalum is what allows cell phones and many other handheld electronics to hold a charge. 80% of the world's coltan is in the Democratic Republic of Congo which is also home to endangered gorillas. Mining of coltan (and other minerals) disrupts and destroys their habitats. 'Everybody's got these old cell phones, nobody knows what to do with them, they don't know what's in them, they don't know they affect wildlife.'To mitigate this, Eric started Eco-Cell in 2003. Eco-Cell recycles, reuses, and resells cell phones and other electronics. Since its inception, Eco-Cell has safely recycled nearly one million cell phones and raised close to one million dollars for gorilla conservation.Eric Ronay is a gorilla champion. He has made it his mission to save gorillas and raise awareness of their dire need for protection and increased conservation efforts. He does this by educating children and teenagers about cell phones and other electronics. He inspires them to contact technology companies and demand “gorilla-safe” technologies. His hope is that, with his education and partnerships with zoos and aquariums, electronics will be kept longer and longer, diminishing the need for increased mining. Eric wants everyone to realize that they do not have to trade in their phone every year for the newest version. Eric is striving for sustainable technology which will positively impact not only the gorillas, but the planet as well.Episode description by Maegan Leavendusky - Programs Co-ordinator for GLOBIOClick HERE to visit Eco-Cell's website.

The Descent is more than a decent movie, it's phenomenal. It doesn't play it safe by making just a straight ahead monster movie, it delves into many different kinds of phobias along the way. Synopsis The Descent starts out similar to my favorite porn, with a team of international women out in the woods. They go caving in an uncharted cave system in the Appalachians. Quickly their expedition goes sideways when a cave in happens and they are stuck in the caves, short on supplies. The film quickly turns terrifying as they find out that the caves are full of goblin monsters hell bent on eating them, which happens to be my least favorite porn. Review of The Descent This is a fantastic horror movie that hits a lot of different beats of horror. It deals out claustrophobia, dread, jump scares, interpersonal drama, all while passing the Bechdel test. A rare accomplishment in any horror film. The unique setting of the film and the deliberate slow burn draws the audience in, in a way that most monster films don't. By the time we are introduced to the main antagonists of the film, we have already seen the protagonists crushed with the fatigue and uncertainty of whether they will ever find a way out. Although dark and disorientating, the film has some really great creature design and gory special effects. It let up even in the end, and is a really unique viewing experience.

Diese Folge wurde mit viel Herz von Manuela Nitsche aufgenommen ---- Wir sprechen mit Dr. Xenia Vosen-Pütz und Britta Sturm vom Soroptimist-Club Aalen über die Ausstellung „Coltan ist keine Zahncreme“, die sie beide konzipiert haben. In einem der rohstoffreichsten Länder der Welt arbeiten Männer, Frauen und Kinder unter z.T. unmenschlichen Bedingungen. Durch Rodungen wird Regenwald zerstört, durch Minen die landwirtschaftliche Nutzung zunichte gemacht, fruchtbarer Boden vergiftet. Es finden trotz offizieller Beendigung der „Kongokriege“ weiterhin militärische Auseinandersetzungen in Form von bewaffneten Überfällen, Massakern und Entführungen statt. Die Frauen im Ostkongo werden seit fast 25 Jahren dauerhaft, systematisch und extrem brutal als Kriegswaffe eingesetzt. Mit der Konzeption sowie der inhaltlichen und grafischen Gestaltung der Ausstellung „Coltan ist keine Zahncreme - Digitalisierung und der Krieg gegen die Frauen im Ostkongo“ möchte der Soroptimist-Club Aalen ein Zeichen setzen, für diese Problematik sensibilisieren und zum Nachdenken über Lösungsmöglichkeiten anregen.Mit Coltan stammt einer der wichtigsten Rohstoffe der modernen Smartphones und Computer aus einem Konfliktgebiet in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo. Die Ausstellung will uns als Verbraucher:innen für diese Problematik sensibilisieren und zum Nachdenken über Lösungsmöglichkeiten anregen.Die Ausstellung kann gegen eine geringe Schutzgebühr ausgeliehen werden: Soroptimist International Club Aalen/Ostwürtt., c/o Dr. Xenia Vosen-Pütz: xvp@gmx.de +49 157 51061 939 coltanausstellung@gmx.de Der Link zum angesprochenen Film: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Im_Schatten_des_B%C3%B6sen_%E2%80%93_Der_Krieg_gegen_die_Frauen_im_Kongo Dieser Film liefert die wichtigsten Informationen.

Coltan Scrivner, Author/Scientist, "Horror & Morbid Curiosity" is our Special Guest

In this episode, Xavier Bonilla has a dialogue with Coltan Scrivner about morbid curiosity. They define curiosity and morbid curiosity along with the origins of morbid curiosity with critiques on terror management theory and negative trait bias. They discuss state vs. trait morbid curiosity and how morbid curiosity correlates with personality. They talk about his measure of morbid curiosity, what factors he found, and why he used factor analysis. They engage on horror films and why many people are invested in this genre. They also talk about the potential clinical implications and challenges that horror could have on disorders such as anxiety and many other topics. Coltan Scrivner is a PhD Candidate and researcher at the University of Chicago in the Department of Comparative Human Development and a Fellow at the Institute for Mind and Biology. His research areas are on horror, and morbid curiosity and why people find enjoyment in fictionally dangerous scenarios. You can find all of his articles and popular writing at his website.

Do horror movies serve a purpose? Where do you draw the line between revulsion and wanting to know more? These are the questions that drive the research of Coltan Scrivner, Ph.D. student in the Department of Comparative Human Development and a Fellow at the Institute for Mind and Biology at the University of Chicago. Just in time for Halloween, but with fascinating, surprising and thought-provoking applications any time, we focus today on morbid curiosity. Theme music by Sean Balick. "Nervous Whisp" by CloudCover, via Blue Dot Sessions.

Coltan Scrivner: you may not know the name, but you will. Coltan is a first-gen college student, and one of the most impressive PhD students I've come across. His family is from Slaughterville, Oklahoma, and did his undergrad and masters in Oklahoma before beginning his PhD at the University of Chicago's Department of Comparative Human Development. He's carved out for himself a fascinating area of specialization: morbid curiosity. It's really cool to see him conceive of an academic niche and to position himself as the unequivocal world expert. He's under contract for Penguin Random House to write a trade book on morbid curiosity, which is how I found him originally. But what I didn't know before our interview is that he also has a TV series in the works. As a PhD student! Wow. In this conversation, I talked to him about his story of developing his interests and expertise, how he was able to be so productive so early in his career, and what his research has uncovered about why we're fascinated with death, horror, and violence. Coltan is definitely going places. Also, I watched The Autopsy of Jane Doe later that night on Coltan's recommendation. Let's just say... it lives up to Coltan's billing.

És difícil no sentir-nos hipòcrites mentre parlem del coltan.El coltan és un component que s'utilitza en diversos aparells electrònics, entre altres materials. Els majors jaciments es troben a la República Democrática del Congo, així que ja pots imaginar-te el problema. El Nord Global explotant recursos del Sud Global, res de nou.Parlem del conflicte bèlic que ja dura 20 anys a causa del coltan, però evidentment no ens oblidem dels problemes ambientals, on el goril·la de Grauer és el més afectat.Després de posar-nos serioses i parlar d'aquest problema tan xungo...sí, podem fer alguna cosa, i us ho expliquem!https://janegoodall.es/es/movilizateporlaselva.html #movilízateporlaselvaAmb les veus d'Andrea Camacho Manzaneda i Marta Josa BordellInstagram, twitter i tiktok: @ovella_verdaContacte: equipovellaverda@gmail.com

Einmal im Jahr ein neues Smartphone gönnen? Über eine Milliarde Smartphones haben Verbraucher weltweit im Jahr 2019 gekauft. Das alte verschwindet meistens dann in einer Kiste mit Altgeräten. Da ergibt es Sinn die Rohstoffe wiederzuverwerten: Metalle wie Gold und Silber oder Kobalt und Coltan. Doch das muss effizient geschehen, denn auch Recycling kann klimaschädlich sein. Von Julian Burmeister.

Transcript"We have this long history of seeking personal and individual solutions to public problems and I think the zombie films highlight that." - Robert WonserFrom Night of the Living Dead, to 28 Days Later, and World War Z, pandemics have always been at the heart of zombie movies. In this Halloween edition of Epidemic, we find out what these films get right and wrong about the current coronavirus pandemic, what they can teach us about epidemiology, and how fans of horror movies are experiencing the pandemic differently than the rest of us. This podcast was created by Just Human Productions.

PHARE FM : La “prière pour la création” envoyée tous les jours aux amis d'A Rocha France était consacrée, ce mercredi 14 octobre à une action au Ghana… Jean-François : Oui, A Rocha Ghana, avec d'autres organisations, poursuit en justice l'Etat ghanéen pour empêcher l'exploitation d'une mine de Bauxite dans la forêt d'Atewa, qui abrite de nombreuses espèces en danger. Nous prions plus généralement pour toutes les personnes qui luttent chaque jour pour préserver des zones naturelles de l'exploitation humaine. Ces personnes le font souvent au risque de leur vie ou en en étant persécutées de différentes manières. Nous remettons toutes ces personnes à Dieu et en particulier l'équipe d'A Rocha Ghana pour que justice soit faite pour la Création de Dieu.  PHARE FM : Mais c'est loin le Ghana, non? Ce qui s'y passe ne nous concerne pas vraiment... Jean-François : Ca serait une grave erreur de croire ça. Ce qui se passe au Ghana (ou ailleurs dans le monde) nous concerne à plusieurs titres. D'abord, à cause d'un sujet dont on a un tout petit peu entendu parler ces derniers mois… le coronavirus.  PHARE FM : Ah, bon? Alors là, je ne vois vraiment pas le rapport entre le Ghana et le Coronavirus. Le coronavirus vient de Chine, non? Jean-François : Oui, mais comme l'explique très bien une vidéo publiée sur le journal Le Monde il y a un lien très étroit entre la déforestation tropicale, la pression sur la biodiversité, la mondialisation des échanges, le consumérisme et l'émergence et la propagation des épidémies. La vidéo est partagée sur la page Facebook d'A Rocha France pour ceux qui voudraient la voir PHARE FM : Quels sont les liens entre tout ça? Jean-François : Depuis quelques années, plusieurs nouvelles maladies sont apparues à cause de contacts entre des hommes et des animaux sauvages. Ces animaux sont porteurs de virus ou de pathogènes, mais tant que les contacts sont limités, ces pathogènes ne sont pas transmis à l'homme. Mais comme l'homme empiète de plus en plus sur des territoires autrefois réservés à la vie sauvage, et qu'on comprime de plus en plus les zones où peuvent vivre ces espèces sauvages, les contacts et les transmissions vers l'homme sont grandement favorisés. Le SIDA, Ebola, le SRAS, par exemple, sont apparus comme ça. PHARE FM : Mais nous, qu'est-ce qu'on peut faire pour empêcher ça? Jean-François : On peut envoyer des signaux aux entreprises et aux Etats pour leur dire que nous n'apprécions pas la destruction des habitats sauvages. Par exemple, en soutenant A Rocha qui lutte contre la déforestation au Ghana, ou en écrivant à votre député pour lui dire que vous vous préoccupez de ces questions. On peut aussi réfléchir à nos choix de consommation. Au Ghana, la raison pour laquelle la forêt est menacée, c'est pour exploiter le Bauxite, lequel est le principal minerai permettant la production d'aluminium. Cet aluminium sert par exemple pour le matériel électronique. Au congo, c'est à cause du Coltan qu'on coupe la forêt (et qu'on réduit à l'esclavage des enfants). On peut individuellement limiter notre consommation en nous demandant par exemple si on a vraiment besoin de remplacer notre téléphone par le dernier smartphone à la mode. Voilà une autre manière de répondre à l'injonction de l'apôtre Paul lorsqu'il écrit dans l'épître aux Romains chapitre 12: “Ne vous conformez pas au siècle présent, mais soyez transformés par le renouvellement de l'intelligence, afin que vous discerniez quelle est la volonté de Dieu, ce qui est bon, agréable et parfait.”  Vous pouvez vous abonner à la prière pour la création sur le site d'A Rocha France (www.arocha.fr)

Die Republik Kongo ist das Musterbeispiel für die Verheerungen, die der Kolonialismus und Eingriffe ausländischer Mächte bis heute in einem afrikanischen Land anrichten können. Denn der Kongo profitiert nicht etwa von den ungeheuren Rohstoffmengen an Gold, Diamanten, Coltan, Kautschuk, Kupfer oder Mangan auf seinem Gebiet - sie sind sein Fluch. Autor: Thomas Pfaff

Isabelle Rety de la librairie Gwalarn à Lannion (22) présente le livre Coltan Song "C'est un livre qui pose des bonnes questions sur des thèmes d'actualité, notamment des questions d'environnement et de travail des enfants. C'est non seulement une enquête journalistique très documentée mais c'est aussi un formidable thriller au suspense haletant qui tient vraiment en haleine jusqu'au point final."

Nei giorni scorsi International Rights Advocates ha portato avanti l'istanza di 14 famiglie della Repubblica Democratica del Congo impegnate nell'estrazione del cobalto.Si contesta così un fenomeno che prosegue da almeno 20 anni. Circa l'80% della produzione mondiale di coltan (fondamentale per l'industria elettronica) avviene in Congo, troppo spesso in condizioni disumane.La questione del cobalto non è nuova, se ne sente parlare da quando si è iniziata a capire la sua importanza per l'elettronica e da quando sono emersi i primi dati sulle condizioni della sua produzione. Nel 2016 Amnesty International ha pubblicato un report in cui si confermava che almeno 40.000 bambini lavoravano nell’estrazione del cobalto a mani nude, rischiando la vita nei tunnel.C’è quindi un diretto collegamento con il lavoro minorile: alcune aziende stendono rapporti in cui si sostiene che vengono rispettati diritti e ambiente. Eppure, alcune evidenze mostrano l'opposto.L'Unione Europea è arrivata ad un regolamento della filiera di questi materiali, che entrerà in vigore nel 2022. Dal regolamento è stato però escluso il cobalto: la speranza è che dopo l'entrata in vigore della legge si torni a parlare dell'intera filiera, senza esclusione di materiali.Lo scenario migliore vedrebbe un governo congolese forte e con veri poteri, che dia regole alle multinazionali.Ne parla John Mpaliza, attivista per la pace in Repubblica Democratica del Congo.

This episode features Coltan Foster, bassoonist extraordinaire and supreme advocate for arts education. When I began my album Covered in Clover, I just *knew* it would have bassoon. So Coltan was the first phone call I made to ask if he'd be willing help with this project. I admire Coltan so much. His perseverance, vulnerability, and authenticity are so crucial to not only being a decent human being, but also an excellent musician. When he and I recorded Covered in Clover, he had just graduated with his Bachelor's, not quite sure where to go next, and still not completely comfortable in his own skin. When he and I spoke for this episode about 4.5 years later, he was entering his 9th year of studying bassoon at a collegiate level, thriving in a musical community, and relieved to be out of a closet he never really knew he was in. I think you'll find this episode to be a bright spot in your day and a reminder that living "in the in-between" can have a lot of power and bring a lot of healing. Please go take a minute to visit Coltan's projects below. I'm really so glad you get to meet him and get to know a bassoonist today! ___________ Never Miss an Episode!

The DRC remains an enigma to many in the West, and for a variety of reasons. Whether it’s the lack of coverage, the singular focus on violence and poverty, or the silent bigotry that informs many Western attitudes towards the fortunes of Africans more generally, many of the roots causes of the people’s suffering continues to go ignored while aid money pours in, resources pour out, and little changes to improve the lives of the people. Murhula Zigabe is one example of many stories that we don’t hear about much in the Congo. He’s from the easter part of The Democratic Republic of the Congo, and by recycling organic waste into eco-charcoal for cooking he has found a solution to multiple problems faced by his community, including environmental degradation, unemployment, poverty, lack of education, autonomy for women, and more. In our conversation we set his work against the backdrop of the DR Congo’s recent history, in particular the wars of the mid 90’s and early 2000’s that claimed approximately 5 million lives, and the ongoing use of rape as a weapon of war on a scale that sees a woman raped nearly once every minute. However this conversation is not a catalogue of miseries and grievances. Murhula is an optimist, and perhaps after listening to his story you will be too, and perhaps you’ll be inspired to look at the DRC and Africa a little differently:  https://www.latitudeadjustmentpod.com/podcast

We watched the Netflix documentary, "City of Joy" and learned that sexual violence has been used as a weapon of the armed conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo since 1996. Women in this region continue to be raped, mutilated and murdered for conflict minerals (Tantalum - aka Coltan, Tungsten, Tin, and Gold) that are used in our cell phones, electronics, cars, and jewelry. City of Joy has been opened since 2011 and empowers the women who have been brutalized, to learn new skills, love their bodies, release the stigma of being raped, and become leaders in their communities. 1117 women have graduated the program since it began. Moral to the Story: "The antidote to injustice is progress." -- Stacey Abrams Let's Get Educated: Learn about City of Joy Donate to City of Joy Learn about conflict minerals Do your electronics brands use a conflict free supply chain? What can you do? Watch the movie, donate, tell others that this is still happening, find out if your phone and electronics companies are using conflict minerals.

The El Escorial is the historical residence of the King of Spain. It was commissioned to be built by King Philip II of Spain, and the architect was Juan Bautista de Toledo. Together they oversaw its construction as a monument to Spain's role as the center of the Christian WorldIt was almost entirely paid for by Spanish conquest. While many of the colonizers' search for gold came up empty, Spain's did not. It is estimated that during the Spanish colonization of the Americas over 180 tons of gold and 16,000 tons of silver was stolen. While there is no way to get an actual number, it is estimated that between 10-25 million indigenous people lived in the land we now call Mexico at the beginning of the Spanish conquest. By it's close only 2 million people remained. Last year 1.57 billion of them were sold last year. They are one of the key methods by a substantial portion of the world to engage one another and essentially the most socially acceptable addiction. The production of these devices, regardless of maker, lends itself to some horrifying circumstances. Every smartphone has a measure of the mineral coltan in it. Coltan is mined in places like the Congo and the jungles of Brazil and has funded the genocidal warlords of the Congo to the tune of at least $25 million dollars. In many places, it is essentially slave labor that mines this mineral. It has been compared to the blood diamond trade. In the assembly of these devices, the injustice of child labor. In a CNN article, none of the major manufacturers of cell phones could say with certainty that child labor had not been used in the production process. While rightful fire and fury towards the colonizer rise up within us when we hear of their economic pillaging, that same anger ought to illuminate the same sin within our own hearts. Our self-interest and convenience outweigh our desire for justice and equity. But as we will see in this text, the Bishop has a great many things to say about the oppression that can come from the economically advantaged. That the accumulation and consumption of wealth carry with it a great responsibility and judgment from the Lord. God judges sinful self-indulgence and its accompanying injustice.James | Money Can't Save You | James 5:1-6

Nelle nostre case e nelle nostre tasche c'è un pezzo di Congo: sono lo stagno, il tungsteno, il coltan, l'oro e il cobalto, elementi chimici di cui la Repubblica Democratica del Congo è ricchissima, ma che portano con sé massacri e ingiustizia. John Mpaliza, ingegnere informatico, marcia da anni per tenere alta l'attenzione su questi luoghi e queste storie.

In GBA 278 we get even better acquainted with my dad. We sit down to talk about his working life making documentary films about the coal mining industry and the communities who provided it their labour, and we do touch on that frequently, but we also end up talking about lots and lots of other things. Threading through the conversation are the changes, both physical and mental, that have happened to my dad over the last few years. He's currently 92 so the underlying themes of the conversation are memory, age and death.

https://onthegroundshow.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/OTG-OCT21-2016MONO.mp3 This week marks the 20th anniversary of the 1996 invasion of the Congo by soldiers and mercenaries from Rwanda and Uganda, many of whom were war criminals exported from the Rwandan Genocide in 1994. Since then, up to ten million Congolese people has been murdered in their mineral-rich homeland where it is estimated that $27 trillion dollars worth of gold, diamonds, copper, cobalt, uranium, tin and coltan is under the ground. Coltan is used for our mobile phones, tablets, laptops, flatscreen TVs and other electronics. In addition to these mass killings, up to a million women, girls, boys and some men have survived rape and other forms of sexualized brutality that have maimed or sterilized them for life. This is also Congo Week, an international action designed to draw urgent attention to this genocide in the Congo. We speak with Maurice Carney, executive director of Friends of the Congo AND an organizer for Congo Week and author and activist Gerald Horne.

Dopo mesi di negoziati, nel mese di giugno le principali istituzioni dell’Unione europea – Parlamento, Commissione e Consiglio – hanno raggiunto l’accordo finale sulla nuova normativa dedicata all’importazione di minerali dai paesi extra–Ue.A prima vista potrebbe sembrare una decisione da tecnici, da addetti ai lavori, ma dietro ogni minerale estratto, soprattutto in Africa, ci sono storie che abbracciano la politica, le guerre e le vite di milioni di persone. Tra gli obiettivi della nuova legge vi era in origine la volontà di far entrare in Europa soltanto «minerali estratti – così si leggeva nella proposta di legge del Parlamento europeo del 20 maggio 2015 – in maniera responsabile e senza alcun legame con conflitti o violazioni dei diritti umani». A distanza di oltre un anno da quella proposta si è giunti a un compromesso, che secondo gran parte delle organizzazioni internazionali che si erano schierate a favore di una normativa più rigida non tiene fede agli obblighi internazionali di protezione dei diritti umani.Secondo Mpaliza, l’accordo «rappresenta un primo passo nella giusta direzione, ma non raggiunge l’obiettivo previsto della legge» proposta dal Parlamento.

Moeten bedrijven die mineralen als tin, coltan en wolfraam gebruiken voor hun producten verplicht worden om de herkomst van deze grondstoffen te melden? Coltan wordt bijvoorbeeld gewonnen in het oosten van Congo, een gebied dat al heel lang door oorlog wordt geteisterd. Amerika heeft om die reden al sinds een paar jaar strenge wetgeving die beursgenoteerde bedrijven verplicht om openheid te geven over mineralen die uit Congo komen. Om te voorkomen dat met deze grondstoffen het gewapende conflict wordt gefinancierd.Volgende week komt minister Ploumen bij de Tweede Kamer over deze 'conflictmineralen' en binnenkort moet het Europees Parlement hierover een beslissing nemen. In Bureau Buitenland Dirk-Jan Koch (speciaal gezant Natuurlijke Hulpbronnen minBuZa) en europarlementariër voor GroenLinks Judith Sargentini.

Disney’s Frozen is in the news again but not in the way you’d think. Latino Fox News reports that a Peruvian author is suing disney for plagiarizing her autobiography. Isabella Tanikumi, who’s real name is Amy Gonzalez has filed a lawsuit for copyright infringement worth $250 million dollars against Disney. The author claims that Disney copied the story, characters, and plots from her 2010 novel and turned it into Frozen. I’d like to know what you think. Is this someone just trying to get a free payday or do you feel she has some ground to stand on. Feel free to check out the news link in the description below. And be sure to comment. In some baby news, Disney's Animal Kingdom welcomed a new baby Western Lowland gorilla earlier this month on September 3. This is the fifth birth in the parks history and the second this year. Unfortunately, west african rain forests are getting smaller due to mining for the mineral coltan. Coltan is used in the production of cell phones so one of the best ways to help these gorillas is to recycle that old cell phone you don’t use anymore. That is one cute gorilla. In some gamer news Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes was released on Tuesday.

Over several cold days and colder nights during the week of December 6-10, advocates swill camp out in front of the US State Department with the hope of meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in regards to the DRCongo. This short segment is a show of support for the cause...Check them out on Facebook on the page 'Outcry for Congo'....

This is a broadcast of an interview of me by Sylvester Ngoma of CongoVision.com

*This show started 15 minutes late because of technical difficulty*. The ENOUGH Project(www.theenoughproject.org) is an organization based in Washington DC. For sometime now they've advocated on behalf of the suffering people in Darfur. Now they've increased their focused their attention on DRCongo by advocating a boycott of conflict minerals. They've pointed out how the minerals end up in places like Asia. What ENOUGH didn't mention in their press release is that Rwanda plays a large part in the illegal mining of Congo. Why is that? Does it matter? Do they want to further cripple Congo by denying Congo the benefits of their minerals? What do you think? Lets talk about it.....*

In this new addition to our program, people, places, and events are highlighted. Today we talk about the play "Far From An Angels Gaze", presented by Los Angeles-based Sacred Drum Theater Group.
