When we hear or see or read about countries like uganda, rwanda, congo its about the poverty stricken people, malnourished children and unending civil wars. These countries which are naturally rich with the forests which cover the most valuable minerals, the minerals which have become a necessity for modern day technology, are considered underdeveloped nations. Their blood efforts are used to build the developed nations, the technological advancement of the modern world. Can life be this much terrific in the same world where we are living? The documentary Blood in the mobiles by Frank Poulsen on the conflict minerals that are used in mobile and other companies gives a disturbing picture of the truth behind our advanced gadgets. This is the era of neo slavery and we all who use the gadgets indirectly participate in this what can be called as world war III.
