Read the staging, choose your camp, vote — then come back 48 hours later
discover the complete analysis and what your choice says about you.
You are the mayor of a commune in the southern Democratic Republic of Congo. A multinational mining company proposes to exploit a cobalt deposit discovered under a historic site: the former counter where, for three centuries, millions of captives were gathered before the Atlantic crossing. The company offers roads, a hospital, jobs for ten thousand young people. In exchange, the site will be dynamic. The elders beg you to refuse. Mothers beg you to accept. Both are right. Both are crying. And you sign tomorrow morning.
What do you choose?
A — You sign: cobalt will finance the living, history will pass on differently.
B — You refuse: no wealth is worth removing from a sacred wound.
Full analysis appears in 48 hours — come back and discover what your choice reveals.
