Coltan is short for columbite (Fe, Mn) Nb2O6 tantalite (Fe, Mn) Ta2O6. Also known as columbium-tantalum. It is a mineral metallic color shutdown is found in nature mixed with other materials. Once it becomes a fine metal powder called tantalum , which has a high heat resistance and electrical properties. It is a strategic resource, essential in the manufacture of advanced electronic components. Coltan is found in virtually all mobile phones , satellites and laptops ; is essential to form steel alloy with in pipelines.

This mineral, is what is causing an unprecedented conflict in the heart of Africa black countries like Uganda or Rwanda much smaller in population and importance to the Democratic Republic of Congo (former Belgian Congo), are making a real war of occupation in the areas of geography where coltan mines, and it is curious as a country of the poorest in the world as the Rwandan has displaced more than 20,000 troops, who control the modern gold extraction and transportation for treatment.
're talking about a quota greater in number than the displacement Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the whole shebang is managed naturally by European and U.S. multinational companies, in collusion with local governments in which the educated elites are sending abroad and enriching while their inhabitants are increasingly alarming levels of poverty and social and health conditions are harsh.
Another example of the problem described above would be the Ivory Coast, now so fashionable at the height of his national team, a territory where the October 22, 2000, with the participation of all parties are elections, leaving elected President Laurent Gbagbo, but Robert Guei, head of the ruling military junta rejected the results and proclaimed himself President.
Laurent Gbagbo had intended when taken office and past forty years of the country's independence under the aegis of France, and would terminate the contracts that companies still held galas for the exploitation of natural resources, out to tender these contracts and that other countries will participate in the development of the state. Then try to escape the yoke of French produced the hit of the military junta, you enjoy it.
colonialism is changed national and nominative, the other invisible and economic, same dogs with different collars, something very similar happening for years with the diamond mines in the southern mainland, and their struggle for control of extraction and treaty of pure carbon.
All this has only just begun, because it is currently conducting numerous oil exploration across the continent, to open the oil market and that is not only in Arab and Latin American hands, and the price of oil is more accessible, since the extraction costs and are treated infinitely less expensive, guess who control the energy emporiums.
