Twangiza Mining a annonc\u00e9 lundi que les rebelles du M23 occupant sa concession aurif\u00e8re en R\u00e9publique d\u00e9mocratique du Congo ont pill\u00e9 au moins 500 kilogrammes de lingots depuis mai.<\/p>\n
La mine est situ\u00e9e dans la province du Sud-Kivu, \u00e0 l’est du pays, o\u00f9 les militants soutenus par le Rwanda ont lanc\u00e9 une offensive \u00e9clair plus t\u00f4t cette ann\u00e9e, s’emparant de vastes territoires.<\/p>\n
Se pr\u00e9sentant comme une entreprise congolaise d\u00e9tenue par des int\u00e9r\u00eats chinois, elle a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 \u00e0 l’agence de presse Reuters que la valeur actuelle de l’or pill\u00e9 s’\u00e9levait \u00e0 environ 70 millions de dollars.<\/p>\n
L’entreprise affirme que les rebelles, aid\u00e9s par des employ\u00e9s de la mine, ont sorti clandestinement les 50 premiers kilogrammes d’or peu apr\u00e8s leur prise de contr\u00f4le en mai.<\/p>\n
On estime que 100 kilogrammes par mois ont \u00e9t\u00e9 perdus depuis lors, ainsi que pr\u00e8s de 5 millions de dollars d’\u00e9quipements et de mat\u00e9riaux.<\/p>\n
Twangiza a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 qu’une frappe de drone mercredi dernier avait d\u00e9truit l’infrastructure \u00e9lectrique du site, bien que l’identit\u00e9 des commanditaires de l’attaque reste incertaine.<\/p>\n
L’entreprise a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 un cas de force majeure et pr\u00e9voit de d\u00e9poser plainte aupr\u00e8s des autorit\u00e9s congolaises et des instances d’arbitrage internationales.<\/p>\n
Elle accuse \u00e9galement les rebelles d’avoir expuls\u00e9 des habitants, d\u00e9moli des \u00e9glises et employ\u00e9 des techniciens rwandais pour extraire des donn\u00e9es g\u00e9ologiques en vue d’\u00e9tendre les op\u00e9rations mini\u00e8res.<\/p>\n
L’est du Congo abrite certains des gisements min\u00e9raux les plus convoit\u00e9s au monde, qui ont aliment\u00e9 des d\u00e9cennies de combats entre des groupes militants rivaux et l’arm\u00e9e congolaise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
