Large finance companies, of course, the various military forces, which mounted on the existing ethnic conflicts, support a war for control of the mines, which in the past four years have killed between 2.5 and 3 million people.

According to the same Kofi Annan said: "Congo's war is being waged for control of its natural wealth." In a report IPIS (Research Information Service for the independent International Peace) shows that European and American companies who sell coltan to help finance the war. They have a great interest in pursuing the "insecurity" to remain in the Congo through the alluvial mines guerrilleras.En troops daily work more than 20,000 miners, under a repressive system organized by the military and local authorities - the both sides in the dispute. These workers pay about ten dollars a kilo of coltan (which in the London market traded around 250-300 dollars) and also require these to "allow" work that agree on a daily spoonful of magic mineral species tribute in kind, which raised over a million dollars mensuales.La labor force used here is mainly composed of ex-farmers and ranchers (after the devaluation of the Congolese agricultural production for export - cotton and other products), who leave for long periods of their communities and families, refugees, prisoners of war (mostly Hutu) who are promised a reduction of the sentence, plus thousands of children in the region, whose small bodies can easily get into the mines at ground level. Recruitment of this manpower operates on two levels, commercial and coercive, in a dual labor market. Mining areas and military operation areas end up confused. The frequent migrations from other regions starved (5 000 and 10 000 persons per year) are often final, looking at the number of dead. Neighboring populations recruited to work and taken by force, serving as labor quarry for this company capitalist harassed by armed groups have fled their homes or have become in miners. These rescue workers coltan from sunrise to sunset, and sleep and eat in the mountainous jungle area. They breed in communities and in the jungle on their own, feeding elephants and gorillas, native, while the guerrillas traded hides and ivory. In other words, the capital, therefore, not responsible for the entire reproduction of the workforce, which in addition to the production of surplus value (coltan), provides a kind of labor rent metamorphosed. Super: the coltan mining they value their work, pay a tribute to the local state and also work to ensure the livelihood, food and shelter.

puppet held a peace agreement between Kagame and Kabila. Who was the intermediary? Vice President of South Africa, first-capitalist country, where many of the capital from exploiting Congolese mines. May be regulated, ie, be legalized, the relations of exploitation. But the slaughter and looting multiple continua.Guerra, we speak of a process of dispossession and proletarianization (many do not have survived even the life) of primitive accumulation of capital, continuously renewed, which takes specific forms in the third world countries: forced labor, recruitment, debt, dual labor market, land ownership in fact guaranteed by the military. Multinationals have not needed here many modernization plans, benefit from the nearly free labor, a reserve army of living in an absolute impoverishment in many cases. This, obviously, limits the possibilities of developing a domestic market and a local industrial bourgeoisie. Just stay to the right to control the illegal trade in weapons and raw materials. The so-called transfer of value from the periphery to the center means that the entire surplus produced in these countries, at the expense of millions of dead, the majors, account for the most part, justifiably, according to the concentration of its capital. "The growing needs of the world's technology industry have created serious conflicts in LDCs developed, "says the Canadian newspaper The Industry Standart, in a commentary that is applicable to any time at least since the nineteenth century. Peripheral capitalist countries of the world total receive specific functions in the interests of big monopoly capital. The average profit rate is adjusted to world market levels, and each time, depending in particular of industries edge, which function as an engine of accumulation of the rest. Today, the coltan is essential for many of these industries "end" bear fruit. In this sense exploitation of the African mines, which the Pentagon considers it strategic, are essential for the reproduction of imperialist capital generally considered. This form of monopoly capital, that a careful reading of Lenin's book, is the most important feature in the definition of imperialism, organized in the Democratic Republic of Congo and many other countries militarily, politically and economically, the lives of proletarian masses of yesterday and today. Here lies, in our view, the key to the timeliness and relevance of the concept. Imperialism is fundamentally a specific form of organization of production and reproduction of capital and labor, rather than the hegemony of one nation over others. Needed in this regard the state (state) regardless of whether or not these take nacionales.Sobre the grave features of the 2000 African children and farmers die every day in Congo, we absentmindedly continue to use our phones.
