Watch How Abundant Mineral Resources Have Turned Into A Curse In The DRC

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a country located in Central Africa. It has an abundance of mineral resources. In fact, the country is widely considered to be the richest country in the world in terms of natural resources.
The untapped deposits of DRC’s raw minerals are estimated to be worth in excess of US $24 trillion. It has 70% of the world’s coltan, a third of its cobalt, more than 30% of its diamond reserves, and a tenth of its copper.
But despite this vast mineral wealth, its economy has declined drastically since the mid-1980s. Its citizens are among the poorest people on earth; the Congolese people are consistently assigned the lowest, or near lowest, nominal GDP (gross domestic product) per capita in the world. Wars led by brutal rebel movements have become synonymous with the DRC.
