Dr. Constant Tchandema of the Basandja Coalition will be in conversation with leaders of the Collective of Diggers "Congo's Cobalt Diggers". The conversation will shed light on their lives as diggers, challenges they face, victories they have won and their aspirations for the future. They will discuss the control of Congo's riches by foreign corporations in the scramble for critical minerals to power modern technology and the green energy transition. They will also delve into the pursuit of the Diggers to control their own resources for the benefit of the sons and daughters of the Congo.

The forum is sponsored by the Univeristy of Connecticut.
