Conflict Minerals, Rebels and Child Soldiers in Congo (2011)

Sifting Through the Wreckage of Congo's Conflict Economy

Warlords, soldiers, and child laborers all toil over a mineral you've never even heard of. Coltan is a conflict mineral in nearly every cell phone, laptop, and electronic device. It's also tied to the deaths of over 5 million people in Congo since 1990.
