One this job site, people can die any second. Nigerians are forced to work in illegal cobalt mines in Abuja, the country’s capital, due to extreme poverty and high unemployment rates. Just last week, 30 people were killed at an illegal mine according to the Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike. The miners admit work accidents are not a rare occurence. Illegal cobalt operations are also common in DR Congo. The threat of starvation forces whole families to work in the mines. Even without accidents, people’s lives are at constant risk. Watch our documentary, ‘Cobalt Hell’ (2022), to learn more about the dangers faced by miners. #Congo FOLLOW News&Docfilms Channel Источник: RT Documentary
