It is way too early for so many to have given up, especially if you have big safety nets or smaller targets on your back. I know this is hard. This is be a good time to learn from long-time organizers. Because there are two ways through this: either we learn some new skills or we become complicit.

RDC : l'histoire se répète à Lubumbashi, une ville au cœur de la course aux minéraux verts
Peu connue, Lubumbashi a pourtant permis d'électrifier le monde, servi à fabriquer l’arme nucléaire et dicté la transition énergétique, enjeu géopolitique majeur.
