Children Mining Gold in Mali

At least 20,000 children work in Malian artisanal gold mines under extremely harsh and dangerous conditions. These children literally risk life and limb. They carry loads heavier than their own weight, climb into unstable shafts, and touch and inhale mercury, one of the most toxic substances on earth. Courtesy NBC Rock Center

Kenya : Waiting for Justice

Approximately 300 Kenyans were forcibly disappeared in Kenya’s Mt. Elgon region between 2006 and 2008 after being either arrested by Kenyan security forces or abducted by the militia group Sabaot Land Defence Force (SLDF). Three years after a military operation that aimed to flush out the militia – an operation that was accompanied by serious human rights abuses, including summary executions, enforced disappearances, and torture – the government has taken no action to shed light on the plight of the disappeared or to provide their families with access to justice. Human Rights Watch calls on the Kenyan government to open an inquiry into the missing people and urges the International Criminal Court to extend its Kenyan investigation to Mt. Elgon, the site of the highest concentration of pre- and post-election violence in the country.

Unearthing Africa’s Identity

Came across this film that is worth looking at, the workshop format used in this project triggered a new way of looking at what communities really need. The subject is bio-diversity and how using traditional knowledge in today’s world will go a long way in reclaiming the right way to work with the environment.
