Banro Teams With Kinshasa To Rob Congo
They won’t begin opening the presents until Christmas 2011, but the shareholders of Canadian mining concern Banro received a whopping gift from the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo this year. It was final agreement allowing the company to develop gold mines worth some $13 billion in return for a token royalty of one percent of revenues.

For another, more in-depth view of the way mineral exploitation is destroying the Congo, read the recent special report to the UN Security Council on MONUC’s support of anti-FDLR military operations in North and South Kivu. The report bears close analysis on many issues.
