Cobalt Red: How the Blood of the Congo Powers Our Lives by Siddharth Kara
dark
sad
tense
fast-paced
I am still boycotting SMP but I think people need to read this book now. There is a genocide happening in the Congo and Sudan and this helps bring awareness to what is happening in the Congo.
I will forever feel guilty for using the technology I use on a daily basis. People should never be forced into these terrible conditions due to the demand. My heart breaks for every single person who has lost their lives trying to make a living. Listening to the children stories made me angry at the world because they should be playing and learning. Not being forced to do this inhumane labor.
