HOA - had to look it up. Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia.
I suppose these kids are predominantly from Christian families, bullied out of a settled existence by the religion of peace.

How does that make the tragedy of children digging in mines less tragic?

So? They were abandoned by the mining companies. The locals go into them and extract the cobalt by hand.

How is THAT fake news? Are they not being exploited? Are the Chinese not buying the raw ore and refining it and selling it to battery manufacturers all over the world?

Wait, I’ve got it! Did you just buy a Tesla?

Yea, her biggest worry is whether the average global temp goes up by 1.2 or 1.5 degrees in the next century and that ruined her childhood.

So, if soldiers and terrorists with guns are forcing children to dig wells, trenches, and graves, (which we experienced), that’s okay, because at least they are not picking through gravel in some cobalt mining process...

Are Dorsen, Monica, and Richard common names in Democratic Republic of Congo?

Their official language is french so the names might be translated into English.
