“Apple has sold technology made of metals from an area whose population is being devastated by gross human rights abuses, Macs, iPhones and other Apple products are contaminated with the blood of the Congolese people,” Congo’s lawyers said.

Apple declined to comment on the allegations, noting that it is “deeply committed to relying responsibly on the material that goes into our products.

Algiers witnessed the signing of 3 new agreements and contracts for mining projects in Gara Jbailat (Tindouf), Tala Hamza Bouad Amizour (Bejaia) and Bechar.

A contract was signed between the National Iron and Steel Corporation “Feral” (Sonaram Complex Branch) and the Chinese company “Sinostel” for the construction of the first pre-processing unit for iron ore at the Gara Jubailat mine with a capacity of 4 million tons.

The project aims to reduce dependence on iron ore imports and achieve Algeria’s self-sufficiency in this vital material.

A second agreement was signed between the Turkish “Tosyali” Foundation and “Feral” to establish a mixed company to complete a unit for the production of iron ore concentrates in the Tomyat area of Bashar, with an annual production capacity of 1 million tons.

Sudan’s Minister of Minerals, Mohamed Bashir Abdullah (INMO), announced that the ministry contributed more than 60% of the country’s total exports for the first quarter of this year.

He said that the export revenues of gold and other minerals exceeded $ 600 million since the beginning of this year until mid-May.

He added, in a press interview with the local radio “Biladi” published on his account in “Facebook”, that “60% is considered unrealistic were it not for the current circumstance, given that most of the country’s exports are suspended as a result of the war. Fortunately, we in the Ministry of Minerals were able to increase the production and export of gold despite the conditions of the war.

A team of Russian scientists has succeeded in developing a new technology that may pave the way for building future bases on the surface of the moon, by producing highly durable ceramic materials.

This innovation is the result of cooperation between researchers from the Russian Far Eastern Federal University and the Institute of Geology of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The materials used in this technology are extracted from volcanoes in the Russian Far East, which contain lava known as “basaltic andesite,” which is rich in minerals needed to develop new materials.

The Russian scientist Oleg Shichalin , who supervised the project, explained that the extracted volcanic soil is characterized by its ability to heat quickly, which facilitates its use in producing the ceramic compounds required to build lunar bases.
