The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the poorest countries in the world because it is the richest. The DRC is home to many natural resources mainly including gold and the three T's, which are tungsten, tin and tantalum. Armed groups force people to mine these minerals with guns and sell the minerals. They use the money to buy more guns. These four minerals are present in all phones and other electronic devices and are the main reason for the conflict in the Congo. The conflict in the Congo has killed 5.2 million people and is still going on today. With your help we can change this!
