from my understanding, the central govt doesnt control that part of congo. Id compare it to the chaos in haiti or somalia currently.Got to educate and empower your population. But the leaders only concerned with their own bank account.
You cant even impose laws if random guerilla fighters control the mine (most of them are in eastern DRC) and are holding the people hostage. Allegedly, random people(women and children) are being kidnapped by these guerrilla groups and brought to the mine , where their wages are funding the conflict of their guerilla captors.
The folks staffing for the multinationals are also in cahoots with the kidnappers, though in recent years the US firms have tried to do the staffing themselves in a semi-ethical manner.

one day we will cross that threshold where we get to see how much people love Africa when Africa is getting their dollars worth
we live on the shoulders of these people and others everyday. be aware of your privilege

Document it and tell who about it?
They’ve been documenting it since Ancient Egypt.
You’d think at some point something would click.
All the so called Africans and Pan Africanists that claim they love the continent so much but have time to do everything but work tirelessly to help these people.
We complain so much about slavery knowing damn well it’s “black” people all over the world still being treated pretty much like slaves at this very moment.
