if you care about palestine’s genocide, i believe you should care about congo’s genocide too.

How you can help Congo
Donating to Congo
Not buying new phones: Trust me, your current phone works really well. If the screen is cracked, get it fixed.
Not buying new electronic devices in general. You can buy them from your neighbours if they're selling.
Not buying new cars: Your current one works well. You can carpool or use bicycles. You can also use public transport.
Boycott American, British, French, Canadian and basically western products.

The ongoing financial colonial violence in Congo has claimed more lives in the last three decades than any conflict since WWII. The device you’re using right now contains minerals that likely came from Congo, at a horrible human cost.
If you’ve not heard about this issue, if you don’t know the word “coltan,” if you’ve not heard about the forced labor of children, if you’ve not heard about the sexual violence, if you’ve not heard about how the UK’s deportation scheme with Rwanda is implicated in worsening the violence, if no one is attempting to radicalize you about this genocide that you, as a consumer-user of tech are directly complicit in, ask yourself why.

I’m really glad that Aaron’s self-immolation for Palestine is getting attention, but on November 8th there was also a Congolese man who did the same thing for the genocide happening in the DRC. From what I read in the article above, his fate and identity are unknown but I think his story should be getting equal amount of traction and I haven’t really seen anyone talking about it on Tumblr specifically yet.

what's going on in the congo since there's also a genocide happening over there as well:
to sum it up, people in the congo are literally being worked as slaves to mine for this material called coltan, which is very valuable as its used for things like phones, laptops, just electronics in general. Congo is the number 1 producer for this material and the places behind this genocide is America, Britain, France, and Israel, wow what an absolute shocker. The worst places probably to ever exist benefit from a genocide. These places are funding Rwanda and Uganda military groups, to go into the Congo and kill MILLIONS of people. This has also been going on for YEARS. Many women have been SA'd and men are forced to work in INHUMAN conditions, resulting in their death and the colonizers are absolutely benefitting from this. 6 MILLION people have been killed and half of them are literally kids. Many of the Congolese people have also been displaced.
Please speak out about and raise your voice
