VOICED: Guinea's vast mineral wealth in hands of the few

The video discusses the socio-economic challenges faced by unemployed Ghanaians and Guineans in the mining sector. Despite Guinea being a major bauxite exporter, local populations remain impoverished due to corruption and inequality in job distribution. A new government promises to tackle these issues by fighting corruption and reviewing mining contracts. The economic decline since 1975 is highlighted, with wealth not reaching the local populace. Protests have occurred, leading to some improvements like electricity provision, but many remain without basic amenities.
