70% of the world’s cobalt is produced in the Congo. Cobalt is an essential mineral for rechargeable batteries in iPhones, Droids, Tablets, Laptops, Electric Vehicles, etc.
Exposure to Cobalt is hazardous and can result in health risks; it is said you cannot touch or breathe due to its deadly combination.
The Mines are described as conditions that no human should ever be in.
The U.S. is complicit as they demand the need for more Cobalt, Coltan, and other essential minerals located in the Democratic Republic Of Congo. 🇨🇩🇺🇸
