Congo (Kinshasa) has many mineral resources, which benefit the national economy but also cause problems for the local people.
In November 2025, a dam of a Chinese mining company collapsed, releasing a lot of toxic water into rivers and residential areas.
Many fish died, and people's drinking water was also polluted.
Some people, because of poverty, still ate the dead fish.
Experts said that the toxic water contained heavy metals, which are dangerous to both humans and the environment.
Many people are worried about getting sick.
Local NGOs demanded that the government punish the company and protect the health of the residents.
The government later decided to suspend the mining activities of this company for three months.
Now, everyone hopes for better ways to protect the environment and people's lives.
