💨 Abstract

Twangiza Mining, operating in the rebel-controlled South Kivu Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, was ordered to suspend operations by the rebel administration, as stated in a company-wide letter. The directive follows tensions over resource control in the mineral-rich eastern regions, where M23 rebels have taken control. The rebels have demanded that Twangiza Mining begin paying taxes, asserting that the company had previously avoided paying any.
