Many millionaires live in the Democratic Republic of Congo, one of the world's poorest countries. This film depicts some of those who have made fortunes amid the chaos, including musicians, mining bosses, entrepreneurs and preachers.The DRC is rich in raw materials, but only a few profit from its natural resources.

While 60% of Congo's inhabitants live on less than $1.25 per day, businessmen, artists, former rebel leaders and evangelists are reaping the rewards of economic growth. In the capital, Kinshasa, these new rich live in safe and luxurious enclaves, while children toil in coltan mines in the eastern part of the country.

Fally Ipupa has made his money with music. Others rely on their business acumen, like Patricia Nzolantima, who founded a taxi company and aims to give more opportunities to women.With 3,000 mine workers, Cooperamma is the largest employer in North Kivu, in the east of the DRC.

Managing director Robert Seninga says his coltan mines are extremely well-run, yet safety standards are poor. Coltan, a globally coveted mineral, is used in cell phones and other devices. It’s both a blessing and a curse for the Congo. It makes some rich, but for others it means death.

The region still suffers from ethnic and factional conflicts, with money from illegal coltan smuggling financing new violence. It’s a vicious cycle.ـــــDW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines. Watch top documentaries from German broadcasters and international production companies.

#UNpeacebuildingNG #ShiftingthenarrativeNGFulani farmers crisis in Benue state Nigeria. (Full length) Building a peace narrative.

The relationship between farmers and the Fulanis herdsmen in Nigeria's middle belt region is one that has been disfigured in a lot of ways. Both people need eachother especially the Fulanis that need water and green grass for their cattle to feed on. The Fulani farmers crisis in Benue state is hindering this reality. The Fulanis are cattle breeders that move their cattle herds from the sahel savannah to the savannah region of Benue state, Nassarawa and Taraba states in search of water and green pastures for them to feed .And the inhabitants of Benue state are largely farmers.

In the course of this search for greener pastures, their cattle graze into the farmland of the locals and this leads to fighting between the farmers and the Fulanis leading to the Fulani farmers crisis in Benue stateIn this documentary project in partnership with the UNDP we visited the affected Communities to bring a peace building narrative in other that peace might return to the region.
