The Democratic Republic of Congo’s rich mineral reserves have attracted major tech companies, leading to widespread exploitation and humanitarian crises. Artisanal miners, including children, work in hazardous conditions to extract cobalt and coltan, essential for products like smartphones and electric vehicles. Armed groups, such as the M23 rebels, control mining regions, funding conflicts through illegal taxation and smuggling operations. Companies like Apple and Tesla face scrutiny over sourcing minerals linked to human rights abuses, prompting discussions on corporate responsibility. Despite traceability initiatives, challenges persist due to systemic corruption. Addressing these issues necessitates consumer awareness, corporate diligence, support for advocacy groups, and robust policy enforcement to ensure ethical supply chains.
While Adolf Hitler is widely known and condemned as one of history’s most evil figures for his role in the Holocaust, King Leopold II of Belgium was just as, if not more, evil. His reign of terror in the Congo Free State led to the deaths of an estimated ten million Africans, yet his name is rarely mentioned alongside Hitler’s. The key difference? Hitler’s victims were European, while Leopold’s victims were African. This disparity in historical recognition highlights deep racial biases in how the world remembers atrocities. When comparing the death tolls, Hitler’s regime resulted in an estimated 11 to 17 million deaths, while Leopold’s reign of terror claimed between 1.2 million to 15 million lives, with many estimates close to 10 million. Despite his unspeakable crimes, Leopold never faced justice, and history has conveniently overlooked his brutality. It is time for the world to acknowledge that Leopold II was one of history’s most evil men, just as infamous—if not worse—than Hitler himself.

The Trump administration has dismantled the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database (NLEAD), a federal system created to track police misconduct, raising significant concerns about law enforcement transparency and accountability. This move disproportionately impacts Black communities, who have long suffered from excessive force and racial profiling, as well as white women, who have been victims of police-related sexual misconduct. Without a centralized database, officers with problematic records may be able to move between departments unchecked, making it harder to prevent repeat offenses. Critics argue that this decision weakens efforts to hold law enforcement accountable and undermines public trust, potentially allowing misconduct to continue without oversight. The removal of NLEAD is seen as a setback for police reform, leaving communities vulnerable and questioning the administration’s commitment to justice.
