Instead of bum rushing the place, they should politically and economically organize themselves to get shares in the mine or even a land concession. Until people like them wise up and act like intelligent humans, they will always be at the bottom of any society they inhabit, even their own.

There is always going to be poverty when raw materials are involved. The powers that be ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT these places remain ungovernable in order to exploit their desperation

This happens in all countries where there are need for resources. It has been going on for centuries. Look at South American countries, the Middle East.

Well whether you believe the Bible or not, see for yourself and then look around to see if what it foretold a long time ago is being fulfilled in our modern day. Then decide if it is lying or it is the honest to God truth🤷🏽‍♀️ ​ You seriously think they can simply use votes to force A Government…any Government to give them a better life? Do you think they have the will or the intention to do so. When ever has this worked on this planet earth? Where in the world has voting and politicians improve the lives of its citizens by means of vote? You all in for a very rude awakening if you think or believe the one who rules and control and runs the world Satan the Devil 💎1 John 5:19 who has his minions in the Body of Government and man is going to allow them to fix what he intends to destroy….souls and lives and Almighty God’s beautiful creation…planet earth. If voting worked, things would have gotten better along time ago but instead things have gotten worst, are getting worst and will get worst than this for people all over the world. YOU AIN’T SEE NOTHING YET…JUST YOU HOLD ON A LITTLE WHILE LONGER…EARTHQUAKES, FOOD SHORTAGES, PESTILENCE, PLAGUES AND SICKNESSES OF ALL SORTS, PERSECUTION ….💎Matthew 24:1- 51 (READ THE ENTIRE CHAPTER FOR WHAT GOD TOLD US IS COMING. IF YOU THINK THIS IS A LIE, THEN READ THIS CHAPTER AND ITS SCRIPTURES AND THEN LOOK AROUND AND WATCH YOUR LOCAL AND WORLDLY NEWS. You know what this mean? THE GREAT TRIBULATION. These conditions will be unlike any that had occurred since men came to be on the earth….💎Revelation 16:17-21 (Read the entire chapter for full context). Our world as we know it is coming to an End JUST AS THE BIBLE HAS FORETOLD. We are in critical times…End times. JUST YOU READ 💎2 Timothy 3:1-5 which confirms this fact. No HUMAN GOVERNMENT CAN FIXED THE WICKEDNESS THAT PLAGUES THIS ENTIRE EARTH BECAUSE THIS WORLD WAS HANDED TO SATAN THE DEVIL TO CONTROL… HENCE THE MESS IT IS IN. Read 💎Revelation 12:12. SATAN TRIED TO OFFER IT TO JESUS WHEN HE TRIED TO TEMPT JESUS TO BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP HIM. Jesus wanted no parts of this world,.. nothing or any of the things in it because his kingdom is not of this world. Be like Jesus know and understand you all will never by voting get a human government to fix ANYTHING because Jesus is returning to to destroy the works of the Devil 💎1 John 3:8. And a New Kingdom…God’s Kingdom 💎Daniel 2:44 will replace this wicked one by cleansing it is the wicked one (Satan) and his followers. And the righteous will inherit the new earth 💎Psalm 37:9-11, 22, 29, 34. SO IN ESSENCE PEOPLES VOTES ARE AN ABSOLUTE WASTE OF TIME AND WILL AMOUNT TO NOTHING. BUT THEIR IS HOPE IN THE NEW WORLD TO COME….GODS KINGDOM…VOTE FOR THAT KINGDOM BY SPREADING THE GOOD NEWS AS WE ARE COMMISSIONED TO DO BY GOD AND HIS SON JESUS CHRIST 💎Matthew 24:14 AND 💎Matthew 28:19, 20. And TELL THEM ABOUT THE NEW WORLD THEY CAN LOOK FORWARD TO 💎Revelation 21:3, 4 BECAUSE THIS ONE IS JUST ABOUT OVER AS WE STEADILY MARCH CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE END. THE WORLD AND THE WORLD CONDITIONS IS PROOF POSITIVE OF THIS TRUTH…BIBLE PROPHECIES ARE BEING FULFILLED. FOR THOSE WHO READ AND STUDY THE BIBLE THIS IS QUITE EVIDENT. SO NO MA’AM, VOTING WILL NOT FIX SOMETHING THAT IS MEANT TO BE DESTROYED AND REPLACED WITH SOMETHING BETTER JUST AS. ALMIGHTY GOD INTENDED IT TO BE WHEN HE CREATED THE GARDEN OF EVE AND PLACED THOSE TWO SOULS HER CREATED IN IT (ADAM and EVE) who messed things up because of their disobedience to God’s Law. Same destruction is coming to this earth like in the days of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah because man choose to be like and follow the ways and rule of the Devil, the god of this world and Not our Almighty God. DISOBEDIENCE BRINGS DESTRUCTION. GOD’S KINGDOM IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN FIX WHAT AILS THIS WORLD…NO EARTHLY GOVERNMENT…NO MAN. IT THEY COULD, IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE🤷🏽‍♀️.

I have spoken at length about this with family and friends in TN, BF, RW and ZA and it’s a very, very delicate subject matter to engage in, especially at this point in time and as a white person in the west. My country never colonised another nation, yet we profited over decades from laundered money. Money stolen from peoples by their leaders, resources extracted under corrupt licensing, paid for by corporations that were attracted by our low taxes - designed to do exactly that, licensing granted by autocrats that enriched themselves and bunkered their stolen fortunes in our banks while our secretive financial sector could operate in the shadows. Well, that is certainly over. There is a political push for more justice. The responsible business initiative had a majority vote in the population, but lost the state majority. It’s a very distinct sign of a consciousness of the post-boomers, that active participation and the enabling of despots by western nations in a system of corporate feudalism, that runs these schemes, is about to face increasing opposition and will have to phase out. I’m sure, some other nations will tolerate it in our stead, China is a big variable in this and considering their influence, one to be reckoned with. Still. When all is said and done, a feeling of unease remains. There are behavioural and cultural patterns that are undeniably part of the misery we witness on the African continent. They must be addressed honestly and preferably by people like Dambisa Moyo, Desi-Rae Campbell or Vusi Tembekwayo. People who know Africa, as their home and identity, who studied its history and economics and who want the best for all people, tribes, nations and our global community. They are not afraid to point out the challenges rooted in culture and mentality and it is important that they’re not, if Africa and its nations are to get ahead in this moment of indisputable signs of trouble ahead.

Sad reality of Africa. If it was in South Africa they would have justified the whole thing and say South Africans are expensive and lazy. But this big companies don’t want to pay anything other than to take everything and leave locals poor. Our people and leadership is happy to help exploit their own . Once the master is done exploiting the land people will have no food and no place to. Wars will be many for no resources and no one could grow food. We will have earthquakes and tremors with no place to run to. Africans will be recolonised and this time they will never be free. I ask poor Africans to remember the name of their black masters and their children and families. When the time is right they must make sure all their families pay with their dear lives just like other families lost their babies

Long time ago (1964) I lived in that area of Cabo Delgado, Moz. Diving in the Quirimbas and fishing was marvellous off shore Mocimboa da Praia, in the small island of TAMBUZI. People around were so kind and so respectful. It was a nice years stay at Cabo Delgado. The sea (fishes and corals) was so special and a great time of my life.

My country Mozambique. It's pretty sad what's happening here. There are several years of mineral exploration but the people of the region still hunt rats to eat. The whole country is full of minerals, we can get rich, wealth is having good living conditions, not lacking water, bread, schools, hospitals, gardens, and mainly sources of income to be able to occupy young people, want jobs. We are having a mismanagement of the people's assets. Our country, as always, will serve as a source, a stage to enrich people, other countries. Local politics that should interfere so that these riches are distributed to the people, do nothing, they themselves are the ones who steal, help the foreigner to take advantage. It is tearing what is happening in Mozambique. Every day several discoveries of minerals but without improvements in living conditions. We have gas in abundance but it is not benefiting anyone, just a few. The clear example is gas from Inhambane. Now, if he helped us, we wouldn't be paying high bills for water, electricity, garbage fees, cooking gas... Since the State, the country has minerals to be extracted. It's regret.

I cannot imagine why this is a market. Synthetic ruby is quite affordable. I purchased a 10mm round brilliant cut for $20 last year for cosplay jewelry. I double checked it for hardness and florescence and it was absolutely real. People giving up so much for a few non-remarkable gems is sad and self-destructive.

I think you might be mistaken. In this video 122kg were on auction and the turnover was close $100M. So, break it down it comes to approximately $817 per gram. That's huge.

I'm originally from Mozambique even though the last time I was there was in 1998. It breaks my heart.

It is so sad to see so many different African countries being taken advantage of by corporations. This is just one example of resources found in one place that only benefit people in other places. Massive government corruption only adds to the suffering of the indigenous people. Mass migration is not a real solution unfortunately...the resolution must come from within in order for changes to be sustainable and truly beneficial.

I don't understand why there is an expectation for any business, whether it's a mine or a hamburger joint, to uplift the community within which it operates! If the mine is there legally, not breaking any laws, paying taxes and providing services to the community, what more do people expect them to do?! Should they give ALL the revenue to the locals? Then what's the incentive for them to carry the risk? I live in Africa and I see what the local tribes want... I'll give you a hint - it's not to earn an honest living or to start a sustainable business!

Meu país Moçambique. É bem triste o que está acontecendo aqui. São vários anos de exploração de minerais mas o povo da região ainda caça ratos para comer. Todo o país é cheio de minerais, nos podemos ficar ricos, riqueza é ter boas condições de vida, não faltar água, pão, escolas, hospitais, jardins, e principalmente fontes de rendas para poder ocupar os jovens, quer emprego. Estamos a ter uma má gerência dos bens do povo. O nosso país como sempre vai servir como fonte, palco para poder enriquecer pessoas, outros países. A política local que devia interferir de modo que essas riquezas se distribui para o povo, nada faz, eles mesmo, são os que roubam, ajudam o estrangeiro a tirar proveito. É de lacrimejar o que está acontecendo em Moçambique. A cada dia várias descobertas de minerais mas sem melhorias de condições de vida. Temos o gás em abundância mas o mesmo não está beneficiando a ninguém, alguns apenas. O exemplo claro é o gás de Inhambane. Ora, se o mesmo ajudasse-nos não estaríamos a pagar altas faturas de água, de energia elétrica, taxa de lixo, gás de cozinha... Sendo que o Estado, o país tem minerais a ser extraídos. É lamentar. Agradecemos a Dw pelo documentário. Há muita coisa que está acontecendo que nem nós daqui sabemos porque não acesso de informação.

Imagine being in jail for looking for rocks. It’s almost like humanity is running in place.

i highly suggest to anyone reading this from mozambique or any other african country who has turned to claim jumping mines out of desperation, start digging prospect holes in places no one else has looked, and stay vigilant because you are going to discover either precious metals and or gem stones, when you do, keep your mouth/s shut, keep your discoveries a secret for as long as possible, anyone with the desire and determination can find gold or gems when they look hard enough for it

5 yes for something you own?? Whereas Foreigners call it our mines?? The world is ruthless

Visceral reaction seeing more European owners of African mines. Seems history is repeating itself.

No, it is not 122 kg of rubies as the narrator reported in the documentary, but 1.223 kg reaped in 6 months. from Mozambique and sold in Bangkok. Total 100 million dollars, which is 16000 dollars per carat.

The resource curse If institutions aren't well established, corruption is rampant and the people don't get the benefits of their resources

It's never enough. We know that the taxes do not filter down to the people

This dude is so healthy and comparisons to everybody else line straight to his teeth

"can the lucrative business change that (poverty)?" of course no. There ten of thousands of example, you can just point your finger to a random spot on the globe, you will find resource exploitation by big corporation that do not benefit the local at all.

Until we become real human beings that understand we all live here together and have to function as a whole unit as obviously affect each other with our thoughtlessness, greed and selfishness; not much is going to work well. We see it everywhere. We have created an unsustainable world system. We like to point the finger at one person or one city or country as the problem. Our attitude towards each other is our biggest problem. We destroy each other constantly and think nothing of us, thinking it doesn't land on our heads, but it does.

All those resources and your country still in poverty that's a clean sign of corruption.

Mining with machines is really bad for the economy of poor countries. Way less people gets employed.

One side: Red gold Ruby Another side : Proverty.

Any company should be responsible for their action, no matter the location. The issue at hand is a company making use of a country that has no proper baseline to control and regulate companies. So, although the company being technically at fault, that's like complaining about stealing in an area where stealing is encourage. It's ridicilous. Unless you fix the baseline you can't expect to fix the problem, one company will just be replaced with another. To top it all off, if we as humans don't start with stopping to harm each other, we will never reach global equality. That includes the morons pointing fingers while doing jackshit themselves to change the status quo.

How stupid is it to send your riches abroad when they should be processed and auctioned in Mozambique! SMH.....
