Stand in solidarity with the people of the congo: the decades-old conflict in the democratic republic of the congo (drc) continues today, largely fueled by our consumption of luxury electronic devices. With the ascent of the m23 rebel militia in 2012, and ongoing battles over resource-rich areas in the northeastern drc, international attention to the issue has grown in recent years. However, the war is still grossly underreported and the violent dynamics of the extraction and trade of the country’s precious minerals remain. Cor ally friends of the congo (fotc) has been working for years to build international solidarity with the people of the drc, and they recommend numerous ways to help.
Their annual congo week campaign aims to raise international awareness by organizing coordinated demonstrations around the world. The cultures of resistance network and friends of the congo can help you organize an event on your campus or in your community as part of the breaking the silence tour , an outgrowth of congo week. We can provide program materials, offer access to engaging speakers, and lend expert advice based on past experience.
