Who's Franck talking to here?

Franck is a true patriot of the DRC who supports the rule of law.
Lars is a morally-bankrupt kunt who seeks to parlay the DRC’s governance vulnerabilities into personal gain. Flooding the end-zone with shit is her modus operandi.
Hopefully her and daddy jerkhoff have acted illegally through this saga and end up sharing a cell together for many a year. And yes, of course they’d do it.

Children mining cassiterite in a quarry in Manono (Tanganyika).
Radio Okapi/Ph. Hippolyte Kapanga
Several children from the territory of Manono (Tanganyika) devote themselves to the artisanal exploitation of cassiterite during this period of school holidays. A team from Radio Okapi on a mission in the area made this observation.
These children claim to be orphans. They are looking for minerals to sell to support themselves.
Specialists in mining governance decry the lack of intervention by the authorities or humanitarian organizations to identify and help these children get out of the quarries
In the quarries of Mukieme Makila, Libende or Milles bêches in Manono, children are looking for cassiterite every day.
They say they do this work to meet the needs that parents cannot satisfy.
“I came to work to earn money for my school supplies. My father died long ago. If I had help, I wouldn't be here”, explains one of them.
A child can earn 3,000 Congolese francs per day, the equivalent of just over US$1.
But this amount is less than the effort provided.
A parent makes this call:
“Let the authorities or UNICEF intervene to support these children, who are 14, 15, 10 years old, so that they no longer go to the mining quarries”.
The presence of children in mining quarries has consequences for their growth and health, says the rector of the University of Manono and expert in mining governance, Ilunga Yolola.
The latter deplores the inaction of the authorities in the face of this phenomenon:
“As there are no spotlights, naturally state actors are less mobilized, less concerned about environmental and social issues related to the production of these minerals. Non-governmental organizations, both national and international, are unfortunately not present and Manono is not part of their priority area for action”.
At the territorial level, efforts are being made but unfortunately they are not enough, indicate some local sources.

Manono : des enfants travaillent dans des carrières de cassitérite pour la survie

Violations of the mining code in the DRC: Éric Ngalula challenges the Minister of Mines
July 12, 2023fatshimetry
Title: Violation of the mining code in the DRC: MP Éric Ngalula challenges the Minister of Mines
Introduction:
In a context where mining represents a major economic challenge in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), compliance with the mining code and the rules governing the marketing of mineral substances is essential.
However, MP Éric Ngalula believes that a flagrant violation of the mining code was committed through a ministerial decree. In a written question addressed to the Minister of Mines, Antoinette N'Samba, he asks for an explanation of this decision which compromises the interests of the Congolese people.
Non-compliance with the mining code called into question:
Éric Ngalula points out that ministerial decree n°00049/CABMIN/MINES/01/2022, dated February 22, 2022, contradicts article 85 of law n°007/2002 on the Mining Code revised in 2018. According to this article, only the holders of the exploitation title have the right to market the mining products. However, the ministerial decree challenges this freedom by establishing a tender system for the sale of mineral substances supervised by the CEEC (Economic Commission for Employment and Consumption).
A deplorable situation for players in the sector:
This intentional violation of the mining code has harmful consequences for players in the mining sector, in particular the company SACIM. By limiting the freedom to sell mineral substances, the ministerial decree prevents the company from selling its products to the best bidder and at prices corresponding to the current market. Éric Ngalula considers this situation to be deplorable, because it goes against the interests of the Congolese people.
The request for explanations from the Minister of Mines:
Faced with this violation of the mining code, the deputy Éric Ngalula asks the Minister of Mines, Antoinette N'Samba, to revoke her ministerial decree. He also wishes to know the reasons which led to this decision which goes against the legal provisions in force. Determined to ensure compliance with the legal texts, Éric Ngalula affirms that in the event of non-response from the Minister or the maintenance of the decision, he will take the necessary measures to enforce the law, whether by interpellation or by supporting other Members who will go down this road.
Conclusion:
The violation of the mining code in the DRC, as denounced by the deputy Éric Ngalula, raises essential questions on the respect of the rules which govern the exploitation and the marketing of mineral substances. This situation compromises the interests of the Congolese people and requires explanations from the Minister of Mines. It is essential to ensure that the legal provisions are respected in order to ensure transparent and fair mining for the economic development of the DRC.
