Oh man you have nailed it! What an amazing information that is really correct you have shared. My heart aches to know the plight of the poor people of this great land of DRC. Congo is indeed rich in mineral resources but the natives are reduced to slaves and are enslaved over last many centuries.

Your wonderful blog has reminded me of the novel "HEART OF DARKNESS" by Joseph Conrad, which is also set in Congo and how poorly are people of Congo treated and exploited.
