Κονγκό: 60 μεταλλωρύχοι νεκροί από κατάρρευση φρεατίου

In this recent, but undated picture, local residents dig for in the mountains of Masisi, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo for columbite-tantalite (coltan) which is then exported to Rwanda by the authorities in charge. Since the war started some three-and-a-half years ago, coltan partly finances the military involvement of Rwanda in Congo. The mineral is vital in the production of power-storing components for high-tech gear ranging from nuclear reactors to cell phones to PlayStations.
