FREE CONGO FROM GERTLER AND GLENCORE!

DRC is going though so much pain at the moment, it’s easy to get overwhelmed - the genocidal violence in the east, the refugee crisis, the poverty, the child labour (slavery!) in the mines, the grim legacy of colonial rule…

In this video, African Stream’s Brenda Mwai focuses on two major thorns in DRC’s side, two arch exploiters of the country: diamond magnate Dan Gertler and multinational mining behemoth Glencore.

Her message is clear: Congo needs to be free of them if it is to lift itself out of its multiple crises. What do you think?
