Congo is cursed not by its people, but by its riches. Beneath its soil lies cobalt, the metal every battery needs — for smartphones, laptops, electric cars. The world celebrates ‘green energy,’ but in Congo the price is blood. Children dig tunnels by hand. Women carry ore under guns. Warlords, militias, and foreign companies fight over the mines while the government lines its pockets. The UN counts the dead, NGOs publish reports, but the cobalt keeps flowing to Apple, Tesla, Samsung, and every Western brand. They know. They all know. Tech giants brag about sustainability while buying from supply chains soaked in slavery. Europe bans plastic straws but charges its Teslas with Congolese blood. America preaches human rights while arming the militias that guard the mines. China builds roads and takes its cut. Everyone profits — except the Congolese. Every iPhone sold is a shovel deeper into Congo’s grave. Truthloop says it plain: green energy is not clean when it is written in blood, and until cobalt is free from slavery, every climate pledge is a lie.
