DR Congo sacks diamond mine heads
President Joseph Kabila has dismissed the management committee of the Democratic Republic of Congo's state diamond mining company, Miba [minority-owned by Sibeka (Part of Umicore)]...The decree comes two weeks after the publication of a United Nations report which accused senior Congolese officials of plundering the country's mineral wealth during its four-year war. The report alleged the board and senior members of the Congolese Government funnelled billions of dollars of state assets into the hands of private companies.
