Back in eastern Congo: steep hills, complex peace, powerful conversations.
Walking, listening, learning, strategizing.
Wi-Fi is slow. Spirits are high.
Yes, I overpacked books. Again.

Yet another excellent investigation by @Melaniegouby for @ForeignPolicy.
“The Problem With ‘Conflict-Free’ Minerals
How traceability schemes have wound up hurting Congo’s people.”

Foreign Policy @ForeignPolicy

Western advocacy led to policies focused on derisking supply chains and virtue signaling to consumers, rather than improving Congolese miners’ living conditions or addressing the conflict’s root causes, Mélanie Gouby writes. https://foreignpolicy.com/2024/05/22/conflict-free-minerals-traceability-schemes-congo/
