Villagers in a yet to be disclosed village in the Democratic Republic of Congo have discovered a mountain of Gold.
In the viral video circulating around social media, villagers can be seen digging into the mountain and carting away pans of gold filled soil. In another video, villagers are seen washing the soil to produce the gold.

The country is the richest country in the world in terms of resources but is the poorest in terms of livelihood.
The DRC produces 70% of the Coltan in the world yet the living conditions of the citizens are beyond appalling. Underage children are recruited in large numbers to work at mines in the harshest imaginable conditions and are paid next to nothing.
70% of Congo is covered by rain forest but many still lack enough water for domestic and personal use.
