Angola's oil wealth not shared by all
Much of Guinea's bauxite wealth goes abroad
Bauxite: Guinea's mineral wealth
Guinea holds the world's largest reserves of bauxite, a mineral from which aluminum is obtained. Eighty to eighty-five percent of Guinea's export revenues come from sales of this resource. However, the impoverished country has not benefited from its mineral wealth. Guinea's first democratically elected president is trying to reverse that.
The coal rush in Mozambique
A few years ago, what's thought to be the world's largest coal deposits were discovered in north-western Mozambique. Tete Province is sitting on billions of tonnes of coal reserves. The discovery has transformed the region.
Nigeria: Oil pollution in the Niger Delta
Nigeria is one of the countries with the largest reserves of crude oil worldwide. About 80 percent of the country's income comes from the export of oil and natural gas. In Port Harcourt, flares burn day and night. There are more than 120 gas flares in the Niger Delta. Here, natural gas that bubbles up during oil extraction is burned. It's a cheap way of getting rid of an undesired byproduct. Elsewhere, flaring has long been banned, because it releases greenhouse gases and carcinogenic heavy metals.
