| Samenvatting |
Continued fighting in the mining areas of eastern DRC threatens the country’s fragile peace. The international demand for tin has led to a US$50 million trade in the metal in eastern DRC with military factions vying to control the lucrative mining areas there, according this report. It exposes the dynamics of the trade in cassiterite (tin ore) in an area where killings and human rights atrocities, including mass rape, are a daily reality for the Congolese population. The main officially recorded buyers of this ore are based in Southern Africa and Europe. There are no international mechanisms that prevent companies obtaining natural resources from conflict zones.www.globalwitness.org |
