Comments on: Conflict Minerals: The Real Deal http://conflictminerals.org/2009/11/03/conflict-minerals-the-real-deal/ The Truth Behind the Conflict Mineral Approach Sat, 19 Nov 2011 17:34:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Linde Rachel http://conflictminerals.org/2009/11/03/conflict-minerals-the-real-deal/comment-page-1/#comment-4 Linde Rachel Thu, 10 Dec 2009 17:10:49 +0000 #comment-4 I'm with a French association that addresses itself specifically to the consequences of the conflict in the Eastern Congo for women. I find a lot of very interesting material and analysis of the situation in English and very little in French. Since the Congolese are French speakers, you should make sure that the materials you publish be accessible to French-speaking Congolese (as well as French speakers world wide). I've been translating the most critical pieces for our association, but more effort is needed on your behalf.

The information is fantastic, and really helps illuminate why merely regulating and auditing where minerals are mined will not end the conflict in the Congo nor bring resource sovereignty. Please make more "ask the african" videos! One suggestion though is to clearly explain what the conflict mineral approach is at the beginning so people understand what theory you are talking about!
