Minerals mined in conflict zones enter the global supply chain quietly – mixed in with legal shipments, sold by traders who may never know their origin.
Yvette Mwanza, CEO of Kivu Natural Resources, explains why the trade continues despite a long series of UN Security Council resolutions that have been in place for sixteen years.
This is not a problem of missing rules. The gap is implementation – and implementation depends on stability. She sets out what necessary changes: a comprehensive peace agreement, a stronger ceasefire verification mechanism with MONUSCO support, and a return by Member States to the Pact on Security, Stability and Development in the Great Lakes Region, which marks its 20th anniversary in 2026.
She also points to what is too often missing from the conversation – the people of the Kivus themselves, whom she describes as enterprising and entrepreneurial, asking above all for peace. Where there is peace and stability, she says, the rest will follow.
