Peter Kim: -In the country of Congo, many gorillas are slaughtered. -They are sold by the rebels and the rangers are trying to save them. -Ever since the war started in Congo, the rebels has been taking control over the people. -They have to mine minerals to live, and feed their families. -They tax the mines and they also take most of the minerals the families mine. -Young children work in hard conditions and make very little. -Minerals such as Gold, Tin, and Coltan are found in Congo, and that is what is fueling the rebels to keep their presense there. -Those minerals are sold in the market and go in devices such as the cellular phones and other electronic devices we use today. -Even though the reporters try to get video clips of the mines, the senator of Congo owns that mine field and wont give them access to record the conditons there.

 * Table 4 || Kasey -You have to do a lot of tough research and you have to go to desolate places to get awnsers. Most war torn countries do not have many resources so you have to put up with that. They might be told to go to horrible places. The soldiers do not care if the workers get hurt or die or starve they only thing about Coltan, a mineral that is used in electronics. DR congo is in ruins because of this minerals and other mines. They are having horrendous fights and are fighting one another.

Dwight: -> Gorillas in Congo are killed for food and money (sell for pets). -> Rebels take away minerals from the people to sell for other countries. -> They sell coltans for those company who uses them for their technogies. -> Other companies try to stop using coltans from Congo.

Andrew: congo is one of the richest mineral places in africa, more than two thirds of the gorilla polulation has been wiped out by the rebels. the rebels have been terrorizing innocent people and killing the gorillas in order to get a mineral rich land. the common people deal with scarcity of water and food. the government pretends to hep these people but in reality government does not help these innocent people. the mine owners lay harsh rules on the workers and they dont care about their health. ||

Electronics makers are pressed to stop using 'conflict minerals' from mines controlled by armed groups in DR Congo. Coltan is a mineral found in Congo, it can be used in electronics. Armed groups make profits by exporting this mineral out to other countries that use Coltan. Previous efforts to clean up supply chains have had mixed results. Adriana- [] Deep in the wally Cali express one of the busiest airstrips in the congo, 15 or more airplanes arrive everyday taking more than two milllion dollars worth of loot. This is one of the worlds deadliest conflicts, it has left many dead. There are 10 mines located near the wally Cali, in these mines their is a mineral that everyone is after it is a red rock casitirite also known as tin. This mineral is now used in many electronics. carlos-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrSP8Ze9q5A
 * Table 5 || Rendell- []

Congo is home to the highest mineral deposits in the world;including dimionds and gold. All the other states around congo have formed militais in order to fight for the power of who gets the gold. Many people who are not from that certain state are often targeted. Even though there has been a cease fire that ended the war, congo still doesnt have control of the actions that are going on til this day. Most of the young boys that use to serve the militia during the war have no choice but mine for gold to survive; the amount they get paid depends on how much gold they find. The young men use mercurey to seperate the gold from the sand, not knowing that the mercury is dangrouse to the exposure of their skin. Many of the boys that work in the mining tunnles sometimes get lost and end up dying, which is something that is common; sometimes the minds collapse and end up killing the miners. At the end of the day the miners take their gold and have to give 30% to their boss. Younger children have to give all of their gold to the bosses and they are paid with slege buckets; if the buckets contain bits of gold then they can keep it, and that's their pay for the day. The further you get away from the mines, the more money you see being collected by the gold bosses. Even though Congo has the most mineral resources in the world, it still remains as one of the poorest countries.
