Why are they mining so much right now?

The New Republic

First They Mined for the Atomic Bomb. Now They’re Mining for E.V.s.

Miners in the Democratic Republic of Congo face few protections in the global rush for metals for the energy transition—as well as a toxic l

Cobalt has become the center of a major upsurge in mining in Congo, and the rapid acceleration of cobalt extraction in the region since 2013 has brought hundreds of thousands of people into intimate contact with a powerful melange of toxic metals. The frantic pace of cobalt extraction in Katanga bears close resemblance to another period of rapid exploitation of Congolese mineral resources: During the last few years of World War II, the U.S. government sourced the majority of the uranium necessary to develop the first atomic weapons from a single Congolese mine, named Shinkolobwe. The largely forgotten story of those miners, and the devastating health and ecological impacts uranium production had on Congo, looms over the country now as cobalt mining accelerates to feed the renewable energy boom—with little to no protections for workers involved in the trade.

The city of Kolwezi, which is 300 km (186 miles) northwest of Lubumbashi and 180 km from the now-abandoned Shinkolobwe mine, sits on top of nearly half of the available cobalt in the world. The scope of the contemporary scramble for that metal in Katanga has totally transformed the region. Enormous open-pit mines worked by tens of thousands of miners form vast craters in the landscape and are slowly erasing the city itself.

[...]Much of the cobalt in Congo is mined by hand: Workers scour the surface level seams with picks, shovels, and lengths of rebar, sometimes tunneling by hand 60 feet or more into the earth in pursuit of a vein of ore. This is referred to as artisanal mining, as opposed to the industrial mining carried out by large firms. The thousands of artisanal miners who work at the edges of the formal mines run by big industrial concerns make up 90 percent of the nation’s mining workforce and produce 30 percent of its metals. Artisanal mining is not as efficient as larger-scale industrial mining, but since the miners produce good-quality ore with zero investment in tools, infrastructure, or safety, the ore they sell to buyers is as cheap as it gets. Forced and child labor in the supply chain is not uncommon here, thanks in part to a significant lack of controls and regulations on artisanal mining from the government.

[...]When later atomic research found that uranium’s unstable nucleus could be used to make a powerful bomb, the U.S. Army’s Manhattan Project began searching for a reliable source of uranium. They found it through Union Minière, which sold the United States the first 1,000 tons it needed to get the bomb effort off the ground.

The Manhattan Project sent agents of the OSS, precursor to the CIA, to Congo from 1943 to 1945 to supervise the reopening of the mine and the extraction of Shinkolobwe’s ore—and to make sure none of it fell into the hands of the Axis powers. Every piece of rock that emerged from the mine for almost two decades was purchased by the Manhattan Project and its successors in the Atomic Energy Commission, until the mine was closed by the Belgian authorities on the eve of Congolese independence in 1960. After that, the colonial mining enterprise Union Minière became the national minerals conglomerate Gécamines, which retained much of the original structure and staff.

[...]Dr. Lubaba showed me the small battery-operated Geiger counters that he uses in the field to measure radioactivity. He had begun the process of trying to find and interview the descendants of the Shinkolobwe miners, but he explained that tracing the health consequences of working in that specific mine would be difficult: Many long-established villages in the area have been demolished and cast apart as cobalt extraction has torn through the landscape. His initial inquiries suggested that at least some of the descendants of the Shinkolobwe miners had been drawn into the maelstrom of digging in the region around Kolwezi.

In her book Being Nuclear: Africans and the Global Uranium Trade, historian Gabrielle Hecht recounts the U.S. Public Health Service’s efforts to investigate the effects of uranium exposure on people who worked closely with the metal and the ore that bore it. In 1956, a team of medical researchers from the PHS paid a visit to Shinkolobwe while the mine was still producing more than half of the uranium used in America’s Cold War missile programs. Most of their questions went unanswered, however, as Shinkolobwe’s operators had few official records to share and stopped responding to communications as soon as the researchers left.

[...]“Don’t ever use that word in anybody’s presence. Not ever!” Williams quotes OSS agent Wilbur Hogue snapping at a subordinate who had said the mine’s name in a café in Congo’s capital. “There’s something in that mine that both the United States and Germany want more than anything else in the world. I don’t know what it’s for. We’re not supposed to know.”

Hello, I'm Eman. My family and I have been devastated since October 7th. We were forced to evacuate multiple times due to intense bombings, eventually ending up in Rafah, which is now also under threat. We've been living in a tent with no income or basic necessities for two months. Our home and my father's shop in northern Gaza were destroyed, leaving us without our livelihood.

We need $35,000 to flee to Egypt, but we can't afford it. We’re asking for help to escape Gaza and survive. If you can't donate, please share this fundraiser. Thank you.

I'm Kholoud Abdalhadi from Gaza, a mother seeking to evacuate my family to safety. Due to the ongoing war, my one-year-old daughter Ayla is suffering from severe shortages of essential supplies like milk, diapers, and medicine. Tragically, I lost my older brother in an Israeli airstrike last April. His death has only strengthened my resolve to protect my family. My husband and I, both educated professionals, have lost our jobs due to the destruction

Our situation is dire, as we are currently living in a tent after being displaced and losing our home.

We are trying to escape to Qatar, where we can rebuild our lives and find work. We urgently need financial help to cover the costs of passports, visas, transportation, and initial living expenses.

Any contribution will greatly help us secure a safe future. Please support and share our campaign.

(First day)

I will tell you stories about what I am going through during this period with memories of the past to draw attention to my campaign, I will publish over 20 days to reach the required amount of 20,000 I hope you will participate and support 🙏

Memories are really painful 💔

I hope you finish reading my story, 🙏🏻

When I sit alone without a companion, I search my phone and find my memories when my mother used to make bread for us. I squeal with pain. These are some of the memories that have killed me a hundred times while I was alive. They really kill me. No one can feel my pain. This is just a small thing I can tell you. I have been in this condition for 10 months. I don’t know how long I will live like this. Honestly, I wish for death every day to fly with my family, who were taken from me by the occupation with their cursed plane in their war on the Gaza Strip. This is a small story that I am telling you from my aching heart. $20,000 Canadian dollars, which is $15,000, can make me have the first opportunity to travel with my brothers’ children whom I lost with their wives. Traveling to safety requires a larger amount, but I don’t want to burden you. I had some money that I had saved throughout my life when I had a family. I will use it to complete the coordination price to go out to Egypt through the Yalla Coordination Company. So I ask you to help and look at my story with the eye of mercy and humanity and share it widely so that people know my story and donate to get me out of the cursed triangle of death in which I lost my family. I will show you in a picture my smile when I was helping my mother make bread. It was the most beautiful day of my life. I no longer have a life after losing my loving mother, my dear father and my brothers. Your participation can reach donors to get the required amount faster and ensure my exit as soon as possible. So do not hesitate to participate and spread my story everywhere. In the end, may God protect your families. I hope you live with your families in peace and safety. 💔🕊️

Your brother Hossam ❤️
