worker Democratic Republic of the Congo

Twize Magela is a 57-year-old worker at the coltan mine in Rubaya, who has been involved in mining for fifteen years. Despite holding a university degree, he chose to work in the mines due to the lack of stable job opportunities in Eastern Congo. Magela reports that conditions have improved since the M23 took control, allowing workers to earn a modest daily wage and work without the fear of violence from militias.
