Investigating magistrate appointed in Belgium in Congo conflict minerals case
The DRC in December filed criminal complaints accusing Apple subsidiaries of using so-called conflict minerals in their supply chain.
Tanzanian police have killed 65 people and injured 270 during years of sporadic clashes with villagers at a controversial Canadian-owned gold mine, according to evidence heard by a Tanzanian government inquiry.
The alleged number of fatalities, based on complaints given to the inquiry by local communities, is the first official estimate of the scale of reported violence at the North Mara gold mine, operated by the African subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corp.
