Kibali is Africa’s largest gold mine. It sits in the northeastern province of Haut-Uele in the Democratic Republic of Congo, next to a town called Durba. The presence of this “gold giant” has dramatically transformed this remote area of Congo, a country beleaguered by extreme poverty despite its wealth in natural resources, a situation in part caused by corruption, poor governance, and centuries of international exploitation and intervention. In a three-year investigation, PAX found overwhelming evidence that the expansion of the Kibali mine has entailed large-scale dispossession and violence affecting local communities.
