Greed Beyond Comprehension [ Minerals In Numbers ] 🌟 Dubai-based companies have shown off a silver bar weighing almost two tonnes, which now ranks as a Guinness World Record. ➡️ Dubai’s Multi Commodities Centre unveiled the world’s largest silver bar, weighing 1,971 kilograms, measuring about 1.3 meters in length, and symbolically linked to 1971 — the year the United Arab Emirates was founded. ➡️ While the Emiratis celebrate and flaunt their wealth, it is worth remembering that they owe much of it to illegal traders and artisanal miners in Africa, who break the law, poison rivers, and sometimes risk their lives to sell just a few more grams of precious metals to Dubai. ➡️At least 205 bars of the same size could be cast, for example, from all the gold illegally mined in Africa and smuggled to Dubai each year — no less than 405 tonnes, or about 30 billion dollars. #MineralsInNumbers Devils Below
