Macs, iPhones, Others Using minerals illegally gotten from War torn region of Congo

The DR Congo Accuses Apple Of Using Minerals Illegally Got From War-Torn Region To Make Devices, Says Macs, iPhones, Others ‘Tainted By Blood Of Congolese People’.

The government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has accused world-leading phone manufacturing company, Apple of using “illegally exploited” minerals extracted from the country’s war-torn eastern region to manufacture its products.

This was seen in a formal desist notice filed by the DRC’s lawyers addressed to Apple which was seen by AFP, threatening legal action if Apple continues the alleged practice after the warning.

The DRC's Paris-based lawyers accused Apple of acquiring minerals transported from the DRC into neighbouring Rwanda, where they are laundered and "integrated into the global supply chain".

The DRC, the UN and Western countries have accused Rwanda of supporting rebel groups, including March 23 Movement (M23), in a bid to control the region’s vast mineral resources, an allegation Kigali denies.

“Apple has sold technology made with minerals sourced from a region whose population is being devastated by grave human rights violations,” the DRC’s lawyers wrote.

Sexual violence, armed attacks and widespread corruption at sites providing minerals to Apple are just some of the claims levelled in the letter.

Macs, iPhones, and other Apple products are “tainted by the blood of the Congolese people”, the DRC’s lawyers said.
When contacted by AFP, Apple alluded to statements in its 2023 annual business report on the alleged usage of so-called conflict minerals, which are critical for a wide range of high-tech products.

“Based on our due diligence efforts… we found no reasonable basis for concluding that any of the smelters or refiners of 3TG (tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold) determined to be in our supply chain as of Dec 31, 2023, directly or indirectly financed or benefited armed groups in the DRC or an adjoining country,” it said.
SaharaReporters had reported how a bomb struck the airport in the restive eastern DR Congo city of Goma in February as fighting flared between rebels and government forces.

Clashes have intensified lately around the strategic town of Sake, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) from Goma, between the M23 rebel group – which Kinshasa says is backed by neighbouring Rwanda – and Congolese government forces.

Report has it that this lady is no more and probably dead.

She is a Saudi Arabian based househelp who recorded this video showing the kind of treatment she recieves from her boss.

Who must have probably seized her passport after offering her a job, maltreated her each day and certainly killed her in the process of maltreatment.

I will always implore most of my fellow Africans to always be contented in what they have and definitely learn a trade, even if it’s to fund and build a small business in their country it’s definitely worth it rather than going to any Arab nation to work, most of these people doesn’t regard us as humans and especially our ladies they treat them as trash.

Even in several countries in Africa most Asian people especially Indians who owned a company are always eager to maltreat Africans. Some misbehaved and maltreat Africans base on the policy and treatment our government gives them.

We Africans shouldn’t have that eagerness to go to the Arab world to begin life or always have that zeal to work for them unless a proper check and balances are being involved.

Gov. Noem shoots her puppy because it was untrainable and it’s a debate about HER rights, Michael Vick sponsors a dogfight and goes to prison and has to live with the stigma as a convicted felon. No surprise it’s the American way! White people can do what they like! @AP

No one is saying Black people shouldn't care about Palestine. They are questioning why the genocides across the African continent are not given the same consideration.

Why we cannot find the money to fix the water problem in Flint. It’s been going on for a long. Obama was in office and Trump and now Joe Biden. we have $95 billion for Ukraine and Israel, but we cannot find money to fix the problem. Is it because of black majority.
