Beyond conflict: Reconfiguring approaches to the regional trade in minerals from Eastern DRC / Harrison Mitchell
Titre : Beyond conflict: Reconfiguring approaches to the regional trade in minerals from Eastern DRC Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Harrison Mitchell, Auteur ; Garret (Nicolas), Auteur Editeur : Washington DC : Communities and Small-Scale Mining - CASM Année de publication : 2009 Importance : 86 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : minerais/commerce/conflits/insécurité Résumé : This report challenges recent suggestions that mineral trading in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the main cause of the ongoing conflict. Rather, the primary reason for insecurity in the Eastern DRC is the inability of the Congolese state to control the monopoly of violence and protect its citizens. The widely reported military predation on the minerals trade is another symptom of insecurity and thus intervening in the trade is not enough to solve the crisis.
The report urges policy makers to refocus on consolidating the security sector to solve issues of insecurity in Eastern DRC. It suggests donors, the private sector and development NGOs should engage with, formalize and empower the minerals trade, which forms the main foreign exchange earner for Eastern DRC and basis for the livelihood of over one million people. In the DRC’s import-dependent economy it is imperative to utilize the full potential of the trade to contribute to peace building and poverty reduction.En ligne : http://www.psw.ugent.be/crg/publications/Beyond%20Conflict_RCS_CASM.pdf Format de la ressource électronique : Beyond conflict: Reconfiguring approaches to the regional trade in minerals from Eastern DRC [document électronique] / Harrison Mitchell, Auteur ; Garret (Nicolas), Auteur . - Washington DC : Communities and Small-Scale Mining - CASM, 2009 . - 86 p.

Titre : Trading conflict for development utilising the trade in minerals from eastern DRC for development Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Nicholas Garrett, Auteur ; Harrison Mitchell, Auteur Editeur : Lancasters : Resources Consulting Services - RCS Année de publication : 2009 Importance : 52 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ressources naturelles/minerais/commerce/conflits Résumé : The report challenges current calls for a ban or disruption of trade in cassiterite, coltan and wolframite from Eastern DRCongo. The report urges policymakers, the private sector and other stakeholders to commit to reforming the existing trade in minerals from DR Congo rather than banning, or disrupting it.
The report suggests that military gain from the trade in Eastern DRCongo's minerals, which generated at least 4m US$ to the Congolese state in tax revenue in 2008, is not the primary cause of insecurity and violence in North Kivu. Though the report acknowledges deep-seated problems with the trade, it goes further and suggests that, in contrast, to current policy approaches, security and trade issues should be addressed separately since trade-based solutions to security issues, such as sanctions, are likely to have little effect on the perpetuation of the conflict.En ligne : http://www.resourceglobal.co.uk/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gi [...] Format de la ressource électronique : Trading conflict for development utilising the trade in minerals from eastern DRC for development [document électronique] / Nicholas Garrett, Auteur ; Harrison Mitchell, Auteur . - Lancasters : Resources Consulting Services - RCS, 2009 . - 52 p.
