    Honestly I find it outrageous that normal or precious metals are mined and exported of almost every country to another one where a corporation is based. This should stay within the boarders of these countries and use to raise standard of living. Especially in Africa…

      Overexploited, not underdeveloped. Natural resource wealth belongs to the peoples who live where it comes from.

        Obviously I agree, but I didn’t say underdeveloped. I know these countries are exploited by western conglomerates through puppet government leaders installed by secret services as democratic leaders to sellout natural resources into their hands. Same like before by East India Trading Company. They at least had the decency to steal it themselves…
