 A 10-year-old cannot make an informed decision about accepting a lifelong cultural responsibility.  Placing such a burden on Princess Alimot Osunbunmi and celebrating it as "making history" during the Osun-Osogbo Festival is a serious issue about the child's rights and welfare. Culture is an important part of our identity, but no tradition should place obligations on a child who is too young to give meaningful consent. Our cultures must evolve with our understanding of children's rights and dignity. Protecting children should always take precedence over preserving practices that impose responsibilities they cannot freely choose. A child deserves the freedom to grow, learn, and choose their own path when they are old enough. That is how culture remains both meaningful and humane.'. More photos below.

 DRC bans exports of copper, cobalt concentrates


The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has banned exports of copper concentrate and cobalt concentrate in a major escalation of its drive to ensure domestic processing and retain more value from its vast mineral resources, according to a new government order reviewed by Reuters.


The order, signed by Mines Minister Louis Kabamba Watum, Foreign Trade Minister Julien Paluku Kahongya and Economy Minister Daniel Mukoko Samba, states that "the export of copper and cobalt concentrates is prohibited."


DRC, the world's largest cobalt producer and second-largest copper supplier, also introduced a new tax regime for economically significant mining by-products as part of a broader effort to increase revenue from its mining sector.
