I will be letting the powers that be know about this and have them begin asking the question. We dont carry many cell phones but do carry accessories that will need to be looked into. Thank you publishing this. I work for a online cellphone battery supplier and this is news to me. I will be letting the powers that be know about this and have them begin asking the question.

What was happing ten years ago is still happing on a small scale like 1% of exported tantalum may have been mined this way, but due to the DRC's regs it dosent get through the border to Rwenda. This was going on in the 90's if you want to help go work for TinCo in DRC and see for your self.

I appears we all have a vicarious liability for the deaths of all those people in the Congo. But those behind the esoteric agendas must be brought to account for this. It is diabolic.

I am a heavy gadget user, changing them on almost monthly basis. I never heard of this this kind of exploitation and never understood the reasons behind the troubles in Congo. It makes me think.
