No, he's trying to shift the blame cause he can't outwardly say China or he'll face retribution from the CCP.
China have légal contracts here@@GoGoPooerRangers
@@GoGoPooerRangersNo its true, because M23 is killing citizens from the east of DRC, take minerals to Rwanda, then give them to the huge Mark like Tesla,Samsung,HP and others
If people are coming to steal your minerals.. so what do we say? You let them pass? You don’t know where they pass? Or simply cz you can’t control your country’s security!! Just protect it, no one will smuggle nothing from you💯
isn't it the president's job to make sure that his people aren't taken advantage of?
That's not a claim. That's a fact.
Why is the rest of the world technologically advanced but not the place where these components come from!?
What type of phone does he use?
@@Hassan_Mengi Why would you think so? As an African, I have had my fair share of Hypocracy from African leaders.
Everyone owns a phone,car,tv etc got the blood of innocent congolese ppl in their hand
world's biggest company at who's cost ?
Why does he not have control of his country and its mineral. he sitting on gold but has no control. Children should not be minning. use robots and large equipment to mine this stuff and charge Europe Asia and USA top dollar to buy the mineral and use the money to build up Congo as a empire and make your people top citizen on earth
Since the West keeps interfering. Especially after the U.S killed their first president. I'm certain you don't know about this history.
Corruption is the reason for DRC’s failure to its people. Another example of a government looking after a select few while citizens live in squalor, who will they blame next for their inability to manage a country…
Really if you don't know or understand keep your cheap comment to yourself or tell your grandma
The west is the one person who starts corruption not africans.they do the approaching not we going to them.they come to us and say do this and I will give you money and be my yes boy.
You're benefiting from blood minerals... I can tell!
That does not answer such a huge allegation. This comment is taking us away from the main issues begging for answers.
Rwanda is not stopping the Congolese government from paying its soldiers or other government workers. Y'all need to stop playing the blame game and take responsibility for your actions.
The Congolese government can't even pay the soldiers who are on the front lines dying for the country, while the politicians are busy playing with money.
I'm sorry but why isn't he blaming China for this? China controls like 90% of the minerals, especially in Africa. They are the ones that sell it to Apple.
Because he’s looking for money.
It's America... CHINA just do business...
It looks that you are Trump supporter China China...what he is talking is something different. I wish China controls 100% of minerals, and then the poor locals could get relative peace. It is West's philosophy involving in local politics and weakening governments for their own gread. It is well known that the West is using Rwanda to destabilize that great lake region!
@@King-vo7vmthat makes no sense, China owns and operates the mines for the last 10 years. Look it up, they all have Chinese bosses now - why do you think some locals started kidnapping chinamen. They’re going to rob you blind just like they do with fishing and logging. Oh well, it’s your problem now.
@@King-vo7vmDuhhh. That's the point. If China is the one doing business and selling it to Apple, then why not blame the entity that sold those minerals then.
Why can't you stop the mining, in short your are not in charge of your Country !! That means you should Quit the Office.
Probably this guy did not get his cut😂😂
I don't get it...
just give he and the gang money, simple
He doesn’t need a money but justice. Is because apple killed and steel DRC money that why he needed justice for those who lost their life and Orphaned , abused women and children, man made by apple. You are happy to use your phone,laptop… you use someone blood don’t see money in everything but see peace,respect, justice, make your money in honesty and in good way
Why isn't he building systems (improve border security) that prevent stuff like this from happening?
its true RWANDA BENEFITS FROM THESE KAGAME PLAYS THE COOL LEADER BUT A CLOSE LOOK AT HIM THEN YOU NOTICE HES A DICTATOR
Apple 🍏 must stop giving Rwanda money for blood minerals
Your phone too
❤❤❤
Apple has two weeks to respond … been over a month no response
Félix Tshisekedi is the swallow that announces spring in Africa. Africa has the shape of a revolver whose trigger is found in Congo. Frantz Fanon
Yes!!!! Finally!
THEY IS MY MINERALS!!! ALL MINE!!!
Build the grand inga dam and end corruption
"Someone said to let them in. " Don't make me laugh it's his job to defend. Any gov working with the UN is to be held in question. Rwandan president has always pointed to the chaos in Congo. This president I hold in total question - Paul Kagame has been trying to help Congo for so long. This president is the mouth piece of the West this is my take. The west don't want Kagame in there.
They will keep you fighting amongst yourselves and exploit your minerals!!
We have to impose these Americans and Europeans for our minerals that their can't tell us what to do with our products or how to sell it.
Congolese shouldn't suffer or struggle to live better when we have all the blessings.
Let's trade equally like our president, Tshisekedi, always says "gagner gagner ".
Is there blood inside that expensive watch on his wrist?
Please fortify your army and stop corrupt politicians then face Rwanda because you have said too much .
a powerless president
Does this add value or make it less valuable?
It means Apple is making more profit off it by cutting costs.
The 2 nuclear bombs dropped on Japan contained Uranium mined in DRC. Pu in the Nagasaki bomb was synthesized using U from the same source. Just facts not a point.
And congo does some serious humanitarian law breaking in the congo
He's boy lying, but I'm sure he's using an iPhone as well, hypocrisy
That's why I am for deep sea mining. No child labor, no contamination of drinking water, no deforestation.
Stop Genocide in the Dr congo🇨🇩,
Stop Rwanda terrorists
Imagine to be told to let in to ur own country armed group. Who allows like that. This is what upsets me most to be dictated by foreign power. Rwanda is crooked country need some cleaning in east Africa before it is too late
As a congolese im so shocked rigth now. This pure hpocrisy! He is the one that sold the country to Rwanda and israel so why is he now acting like the victim?
