Central African Republic (2010)
slide show (24)
The Central African Republic (CAR) is if anything worse than a failed state: it has become virtually a phantom state, lacking any meaningful institutional capacity at least since the fall of Emperor Bokassa in 1979. The CAR has been formally independent for nearly a half century but the government only gained a measure of popular legitimacy through free elections in 1993. The democratisation process soon ran aground due to newly manipulated communal divisions between the people living along the river and those of the savanna, which plunged the country into civil war. Through a succession of mutinies and rebellions, the government has lost its monopoly on the legitimate use of force. The capital, Bangui, is relatively calm but the north is desperate and destitute, and in a state of permanent insecurity.

Coltan in Congo. Blood Mobiles (2010).
slide show (63)
Coltan is the next well-known conflict mineral and in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the war has been going on through different forms in the eastern part of the country for years (massive amount of killings and rape), militias earn an estimated $8 million a year from trading that mineral alone. The link between mineral wealth and vulnerability to both conflict and poverty is very visible in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with its incredible wealth of resources it still has enormous rates of poverty and violence. This reportage is made in several locations in Congo, departing from Bukavu and going to Walikale, Walungu and Lubumbashi to show a general perspective of the phenomenon.
