DR Congo: In Ituri, Kasenyi communities oppose “unjust” oil exploitation in the Albertine Graben

Communities in Kasenyi, in Irumu territory in Ituri, are calling on the Congolese state to abandon any oil-extraction project in the Albertine Graben. They fear such a project would worsen the impacts they already experience from oil exploitation across the border in Uganda. A group of journalists supported by DESKNATURE.COM visited Congolese communities affected by that activity to document its effects.
