Modern technology relies upon a mineral found in the Congo. Is our appetite for the latest gadgets fuelling rebel fighting in the Congo - threatening the survival of central Africa’s great gorillas?

On the inside of many devices like mobile phones and laptops is the mineral ‘Coltan’, which has made our gadgets smaller and more complex. In the mineral-rich Congo, armed militia watch over the children digging this mineral from the ground. “"The government only pretends to help us"” says one miner, who pays a government official just to work. “"The Congo is a shifting sands of various militia, the largest of which is the Congolese state itself”," explains an expert on blood minerals.

Yet the miners depend on the little they get from mining to survive. Electronic giants like Apple now claim they will no longer use Coltan from this area but experts are convinced the militias will “smuggle it onto the market” regardless. For local miners, the move away from African minerals is “just another way of penalising Africans”. Coltan fuels a conflict, which has seen national parks become war zones, gorillas killed for meat and hundreds of houses set on fire in turf wars over mineral territory. Yet it also feeds 400,000 petty traders. Why did it take a mobile phone to make us appreciate the injustice in the Congo?

Nixon 1971: The Day the U.S. President Made the Fiat Dollar the Gold Standard — And Nobody Voted On
Nixon 1971: The Day the U.S. President Made the Fiat Dollar the Gold Standard — And Nobody Voted On Kwabena Ofori Osei 14 Views • 1 month ago

On August 15, 1971, President Richard Nixon interrupted Sunday night television to make an announcement that would quietly reshape the entire global financial system. Without a single vote in Congress, without consulting America's allies, and without any public debate, Nixon severed the last link between the U.S. dollar and gold — ending the Bretton Woods system that had governed international finance since World War II.
What followed was the birth of the fiat money era we still live in today. Inflation spiraled. Oil prices quadrupled. The petrodollar system emerged. And the rules of money changed forever — not through democratic process, but through a secret weekend meeting at Camp David attended by just fifteen men.
This is the story of how one decision, made behind closed doors, turned the dollar from a gold-backed promise into pure government decree — and why you're still paying the price for it more than fifty years later.
