Buried Alive: The Heroic Rescue Of Chinese Cobalt Miners In DR Congo(video&pics) by Rebuker(m): 3:27pm On Mar 27, 2023
A Chinese cobalt mine in DR Congo experienced a landslide that resulted in the entrance being sealed off, putting locals in danger of being buried alive. Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon occurrence at Chinese-operated mines in Africa.

Fortunately, the trapped miners had the support of their fellow workers and community members who quickly came to their aid. They diligently worked to dig out the sealed entrance, carefully removing the falling sand to prevent it from covering the whole area while rescuing the trapped miners one by one.

With each successful rescue, the locals erupted in wild jubilation, grateful for the safe return of their loved ones. The rescuers continued their efforts until the last person was safely extracted from the hole. The man at the entrance ensured that everyone was accounted for, carefully checking that no one was left behind.

After the ordeal, the locals and rescued miners left together, still caught up in the excitement and joy of the successful rescue. It's truly terrifying to imagine the possibility of being buried alive, but thankfully, this time, a disaster was averted.

If only you knew.

A lot of the mineral resources needed by modern tech gadgets manufacturing are located in the Congo. Even the phones we are using today have batteries made from the resources mined from the Congo.

It's a shame that Africa's vast resources are often undervalued and underestimated, which is why some individuals or groups (the whites) cannot resist interfering in its affairs.

Sadly, Africa has not fully recognized its potential and is still subject to being overlooked.

The case of the Congo is truly sad. The modern day slavery going on there is bewildering. The Chinese mining firms have a strangle hold on the people. The worst of all is that the corrupt government there is not doing anything about it.

We might think Nigeria is bad, but there are African countries richer than us in terms of natural resources that we are better than.

God bless Nigeria!

The situation is incredibly distressing, bro. I have faith that someday we will realize the importance of controlling our own resources and take action to do so.

I doubt things will change, unless there is external pressure on these companies to do the right thing. For now, it remains an uphill battle.

I feel concerned too because it seems like we're content with the current situation, which is troubling to me.
