Overview

What if the green transition was just an old story repainted green? Indeed, history seems to be repeating itself, but with cruel irony. Whereas in the 19th century, ivory and rubber fueled colonial ambitions in the Democratic Republic of Congo, for example, the 21st century is witnessing a new rush to Africa, but this time in the name of green transition. Because the electric vehicles that glide silently through the streets of Stockholm carry within them the invisible scars of Congolese communities. Each battery tells the story of a childhood broken in an open-pit mine, of a community dispossessed of its ancestral lands. Behind every gram of cobalt whispers the silence of razed forests, poisoned rivers, and betrayed hopes. This essay is not just a cry of anger, it is also and above all a call to collective consciousness. For while the current green transition reproduces the mechanisms of colonial extractivism, another path is possible. A path that reconciles climate urgency and social justice, technological progress and environmental protection. Through the eyes of someone who lives this reality on a daily basis, discover how to transform the curse of resources into a shared blessing. How to make Africa no longer the continent of broken promises, but one of fulfilled hopes.
