| Abstract |
This report by the All Party Parliamentary Group Great Lakes Region for the Prevention of Genocide looks at the key cause of the ongoing conflict in the DRC: the exploitation of natural resources, such as timber, coltan, diamonds, gold, oil, copper and cobalt. Partly based on own local research, it further looks at the ultimately disastrous impact on society and concludes with recommendations to the UK government for its policy on Zimbabwe, Uganda, Rwanda, and the DRC
