this is a major challenge for congo.public of the congo, natural gas accounts for more than 70 percent of electricity generation. supplies and gas and oil hydrocarbons account for 35% of congo's gdp and 75% of its exports. now the country intends to strengthen its position in the gas sector in africa and attract more investments. it is impossible to steal my phone. no one dares to come close. then i bought a guard and an anti-shock case for it. what does the program for finding the location of the phone mean? it is not a phone . saman mobile phone insurance. to install the program , send the number one to 2250. saman insurance. guys, someone is calling my line. i'll pick up. we called. it was turned off. i think it was stolen. my work is done . hello, hello, it was easy . it was like drinking water. now what did you buy ? a refrigerator, a freezer, a gas stove , with a prepayment? dad , you made a deposit. come and eat something sweet. he doesn't want to pay. home appliance city. did you have a check in your hand? you bo

and in washington, dc, maurice county co founder and executive director of friends of the congo. thank you so much for being with us here on inside story today. cool. if i can begin with you, i mean obviously money no matter where it is and the world has an inherently dangerous business, but it seems like there was a disproportionate number of incidents and accidents in africa. we see this time and time again. why is that? there is no dispute about the opposite uh mind. the industry has the mazda potential due to the continent and fast uh, because of the most about ally, the money industry faces complex and the impending challenges unfamiliar. the 1st challenge and most important law, is the nature of the state to not most of public and state the what the dysfunction, even though is what functional bad institutions are not wild bills, to manage the complexity of the mining industry. and that these are reflected in the documentary we just saw way countries on able to manage the increasingly evolving got seasonal mining. well, we have seen a lot of, uh, uh, human rights uh, donatio

so in the congo issues, for example, you look at uh, the whole kind of province in the south. you have a mix of what you call industrial mining, there's mechanize mining and hard to snow and small scale mining. that takes place. so side by side and, and often the class you have or to the most small scale miners who feel that they're not getting the prime concession. let's say that's given to the industrial money. so you have a clash between where you have doctors on minus go on to the industrial mining concessions in order to access and dig for the copper and the cobalt. and it's not unusual for the industrial mining companies to call in security forces to clear off the artist now in small scale miners. and so, you know, that's one um question around around security misses in the, in the, in the south of the congo. he looked at the east, for example, where you have a multitude of militia groups and you have aggressive neighbors like a reminder. and uganda they go in and they capture mining areas. the biggest conflict in that piece of the congo, easy rewind, and soldiers, and t

the biggest conflict entities are the congo easy through wind and soldiers. and the m 23 militia capture and a major colton mine here to come by a largest colton mine in the embassies in africa. really. and you see there questions of a violence of questions of displacement. questions of issues of eyes, rate and sexual violence against women, all in an attempt to, to capture the middle rich area in the east of the congo. just the overall in terms of when are you talking about our digital mining or industrial mining? there the devastation on the environment. you take the industrial mining, for example. when you have major mining companies, whether it's china left in um, a grand core india, tango tango province in there. digging up of these tactics, minerals. this gets in a here in, pollutes the water, has an impact on the vegetation has an impact on the population overall in terms of health concerns, you find increase in impacts my or increase and now form birth uh from uh, from women. uh, the actually watch a local 10 g o in the, in the condo and uh, raid righ

and one can say that after that congo has never been the same again. we know what happened, but free. somebody in the moon by himself was abducted. i'm then killed and his body dissolved in hosted with these thoughts only part of his body that was left of costs since then they have been numerous interventions of conflicts arises in different parts of africa. 1 may question, why is it the african countries are the subject of the kind of intervention that we have seen so frequently under the guise of peace. and it is never lost on me that you were discovered in many countries when there is an occasion that as much as just defies there is duration of beast. it is the former colour nies us who is com . i'd say we want to be in the flaw from, if it was a british colony, it is the british show will be in the forefront in terms of say, we want to negotiate the piece. if it is the, from a french colony. it is the same thing that happens and sometimes indeed many times it is very surreptitious. that for example, the ongoing conflict in the called the come in. w

, of the democratic fire republic of congo has the busiest space. because under the guise of breast, the res cheryl b as to what happens is the minute arrows are taken out of that gun. it therefore is arguable and debatable at once. the peace has become an excuse for the continued mean nation of african countries. and we, i have seen you in the lock for auction being done by flooding bowers, which option has interfered with these on print quality in the number of country. love him or hey tim walmart are good, us ran the libya that was functioning to the out side as they may have accused him of the that the ship as the normally likely to do if you don't run a government after this time. but if you go to lead the day after the intervention of nato, without the sanctioning of the united nations on the chapter 7, we have a concrete that is a strong country that is destroyed. the country who is it, is sources on now being ex, need dominated. the question that one must ask. therefore, when you came in in the name of this, did you read the piece? all you s

the is the democratic republic of congo, which we started with. why is the democratic republic of congo so significant? and why is it that we have had in venice? and we have the belgian prison the we have had the americans present there. we have had the united nations prison there, but no, this is ever a start. and it is even argued that the democratic republic of congo, particularly the, is the part of this, of, of the democratic father republic of congo has the busiest space. because i'm the guy as of rest, the race several b is what happens is the minute arrows are taken out of that gun. it therefore is arguable and debatable at once. the piece has become an excuse for the continued dummy nation of african countries. and we have seen unity lock for auction been done by flooding bowers, which option has in the fi ad with these on print quality in the number of country love him or hate him while i'm or as good us ran, the libya that was functioning to the outside, as they may have accused, the more that the ship as the normally likely to do, if y
