Minerals

We all know that minerals are a form of wealth to a country. There are precious minerals like gold and diamonds. These are used to make jewellery. People who wear the jewels are mainly wealthy. Diamond chains, grills, and rings are expensive. The other minerals are petroleum products, titanium, and coal or other ores. These are for powerful people in society. The owners are on forbes. But where do these minerals come from? In africa, countries that have mines are mainly at war. Why? Poor distribution of wealth. The government earns from the mines but, fail to provide infrastructure to the villages that mine. This leads to uprise of rebel troops that fight to have a share of the national cake. Why blame the rebels and not their government? Dont be biased
