Cobalt's Hidden Cost: Congo's Silent Crisis

The Congo has more deaths than Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan combined,

yet almost no one talks about it. Your phone battery runs on cobalt from Congolese mines.

These aren't just mines, they're battlefields. Armed groups control the mineral trade

while workers die in collapses. Countries stay quiet because we all benefit. The tech in your

pocket exists because of this violence. That's why nobody's explaining it.
