East of the DRC: Amnesty International calls for breaking the silence on M23 atrocities and mineral trafficking from conflict zones by Rwanda

Amnesty International documented serious human rights violations at the mining sites of Rubaya and Lomera, controlled by M23, and calls on states and companies to act against mineral trafficking. The report indicates that Rwandans are present at these sites, participating in hostilities and collaborating with M23. Agnès Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty, urges the African Union to strengthen its response to these violations and the plundering of resources.
