Congo's Conflict Minerals
Our demand for conflict minerals in electronics and jewelry fuels the world's deadliest war. Learn more on our Raise Hope for Congo site.
Eastern Congo
Introduction
The situation in eastern Congo is dire. Government and rebel militias fight to control Congo’s mines, which are rich with natural resources. Profits from conflict minerals fund horrific violence. Congo’s disorganized military and police do little to stop it. Armed groups, operating without accountability, use rape and murder to intimidate civilians.
Since 1996, over 5.5 million have died from war-related causes. Countless women and children have been raped. Congo’s wars ended in 2003, yet more than 2.5 million people live as refugees.
