Congo is being assaulted on different levels externally and internally. The jist of it is that after the Rwandan genocide many rebels migrated to the Congo and have since begun to enslave village people to mine coltan and tungsten, the former is used in cellular devices such as Cell Phones and Blackberries.
Human rights violations are taken very conservatively throughout the media because the major corporations frown at potential loss of money.
What I wonder about is how they'd have known to take advantage of that market
Rwandan rebel groups come in to take control over the coltan/tungsten trade. Officially, however, the Corporations taking advantage of the suffering people of the Congo purchase the materials from villages, so they can wipe the blood off their hands.
