Blood in the Mobile - Related Issues

Hey guys!
Thanks for watching Blood in the Mobile today, I look forward to an interesting discussion on wednesday in class. Here are some links on articles I have read! These are articles from two NGO's research on the problems in the DRC. They are featured in the documentary.

The one below is about what electronic companies have done to be on the road of being conflict-free.
Read as much as your interested in, it's a pretty long report, but the summary is informative and interesting!

This article is by global witness and it gets into the issues of what the current president of the Congo Joseph  
Kabila is doing in efforts to curb the current militia rebels in controlling the mines.
