Name	Beyond Conflict - Reconfiguring Approaches to the Trade in Minerals from Eastern DRC
Description	A report released September 7th by the multi-donor Communities and Small Scale Mining initiative, the Crisis States Research Centre at the London School of Economics and Political Sciences (LSE), and the Crisis Research Group at Ghent University, challenges recent suggestions that mineral trading in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is the main cause of the ongoing conflict. Rather, the primary reason for insecurity in the Eastern DRC is the inability of the Congolese state to control the monopoly of violence and protect its citizens. The widely reported military predation on the minerals trade is another symptom of insecurity and thus intervening in the trade is not enough to solve the crisis.
