The DRC is not poor; it is being looted. The Democratic Republic of Congo now carries the weight of more than three million internally displaced people—families pushed off their ancestral lands not by accident or fate, but by armed groups orbiting the world’s hunger for minerals. Cobalt for electric cars, copper for renewable-energy grids, and coltan for the smartphones buzzing in our hands all flow through these conflict zones. The same iPhones and Samsungs that signal modernity are, in truth, tethered to a supply chain that drags Congolese communities into violence and dispossession. The world isn’t distant from Congo’s suffering; it is plugged directly into it.

The OvaHimba have faced challenges such as drought, warfare, and political conflicts, but have successfully preserved their culture and resisted the construction of a dam that would have flooded their ancestral lands. They worship the god Mukuru and practice ancestor reverence. Human rights issues, including the treatment of the Ovatwa hunter-gatherers and lack of recognition for traditional authorities, have been raised by the OvaHimba with international organizations.

The OvaHimba reside in homesteads comprising huts, with a sacred ancestral fire and kraal for livestock, symbolizing the connection between humans and ancestors. They use a pasture system that includes both rainy and dry-season pastures to manage their livestock.

They are semi-nomadic pastoralists who speak OtjiHimba, a variety of Herero language. The OvaHimba have base homesteads for cultivating crops but may relocate based on rainfall and water availability.
