Who should take a stand against abusive child labor being used in Congo to dig out coltan?

Title endorsed in part by:

The embassy child care workers should talk to the FAR-DC, The Forces Democratic de Liberation du Rwanda, have been seen smoking and have been upset at all the black people in dirt coming out of these mining villages. These are the FARDC militias who carry guns and supported the war with the Tutsis. As all wars start small, as all other wars in the past have started, The Hutsis had to do more work for assistance; on the other hand, The Tut-sis didn't have to do anything, because some say if the Hutsis had they been two feet taller , a somewhat gregarious feat, fighting would not had broken out among the two tribes, Congo Tutsis who were taller and Rwanda Hutsis who were shorter. For today, I wonder the similarities are the same in America, if trash could be picked up by the trash company's recycling plants or if we could recycle our own trash, we would not have to worry about height. Wondering, gosh people get your trash picked up. Maybe, people will look like trash people everywhere here as well.

Anyways, four million people have died because of people engaging in these civil wars; indeed, thinking to myself, if I hadn't been using this Col-ton, I wouldn't need a phone, or do we need to really talk to people on them?

Do these villages need FARDC to watch over greedy tactics of despotic rulers who do not allow young ones an education but work in mining villages; likewise, taunting and harassing, them as they walk out off the job all covered in dirt? It is hard to see the children all covered in dirt. I suppose there are a lot of doctors and pastors in these villages. People complain. They will complain to everybody in the world about work and despotic rulers. The people can't hate FARDC; indeed, it is the soldiers who can tell people the truth about the way these despotic rulers lie to them all the time.

The problems are not overstated, with many unruly kids, and an overproduction of mining, because the world doesn't need all these phones, laptops and other devices but produces them. However, Japan and Europe no longer use lead in their electronics. They use carbonite minerals such as Colton.

The Rwanda occupation years of Uganda coincided with the Colton boom years, despite the fact that they do not have these diamonds, gold, or Colton. I suppose the militias are doing the best thing they can for the enormously small children, giving them jobs, and a chance to get their fresh fruit; prunes, raisins, and berries. I was thinking if there is some nice pastor who will let them board in the church and finish school.

What are these militia men doing besides smoking, or smoking crack at the marketplace? I don't know.
