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.
