Watching pied noirs (European colonizers in Algeria ONLY) talking about their childhood in Algeria is really something… every single time it makes me sick.

They talk fondly about the sea being warmer in Algeria than it is in France and you think about your uncles and aunts who were the same age as these colonizers but didn’t get to go to the beach before summer 1962 because the closest beach were forbidden to the “indigènes” (Algerians) and if you went there you could get killed.

They talk about how they miss Oran specifically because it was “home” to them and you think about how Oran was the city with the most violent settlers how Algerian kids who grew up around Oran knew that there was no go zones in their own land how there was neighborhoods they couldn’t go to, places they couldn’t enter in for being “indigènes”.

They talk about how this had no price and you think about how it did have a price but the colonizers aren’t the one who paid it Algerian paid it with their lives and oppression for 132 years. They paid it by being the victims of a genocide.

**It’s a privilege** to look forward to the launch of the new iPhone 16, while people in the DRC face modern-day slavery, mistreatment, and abuse as they mine the very minerals that power our cherished phones. Zoya Reebye, founder of Let’s Talk WOC, sheds light on the unimaginable hardships women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo endure in the mines. From being underpaid to facing a rising rate of sexual assault, these women live through a humanitarian crisis the world must not ignore. Even as teenagers, **we can make an impact** by amplifying the voices of those working in the DRC, raising awareness, and holding companies accountable for their actions. 1. **Raise awareness** about the situation in the DRC. The more people know, the more pressure we can put on those responsible. 2. **Be mindful** of your consumer choices. 3. **Do your research.** Investigate the supply chains of companies you buy from, choose refurbished or secondhand electronics, and recycle your devices responsibly. Let’s strive for a world where our technology is not built on exploitation.
