Breaking The Silence - Hip Hop Artists Raise Their Voice For The Congo

Since 1996, over six million Congolese have died in the heart of Africa due to a war fueled by the illegal exploitation of Congo's minerals, some used in our modern technology such as our cell phones, laptops, game consoles, etc. The world does not know and there is a media blackout in covering the situation in the Congo.

Thanks to Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, Mela Machinko, Lord Jamar, Mr.Len, Guy Routte, Sadat X, 7Knuckles, Homeboy Sandman, Pihon, Dezyne, SamUiLL and Jean Grae for breaking the silence on the situation in the Congo.

The Congo is a central storehouse of strategic minerals for the functioning of modern society, particularly as it relates to the mining and technology sectors. We must demand that foreign countries and corporations implement humane policies toward the Congo.

The Congo sits in the heart of Africa and is bordered by NINE other countries, therefore as the Congo goes so does the rest of Africa.We must work with the Congolese and other Africans to make sure that the Congolese and NOT external forces determine the future direction of their country.

The rapes, slaughter and savagery being committed in the Congo are affronts to the human conscience. Every individual and leader in the global community should be ashamed and outraged that we have allowed an estimated 6 million Congolese to die since 1996 as a result of a resource war. As human beings in a so-called civilized world, we can and must do better.
