Great to see this article up here, Keri....Hi Keri,<br /><br />Great to see this article up here, Keri. You've provided a wonderfully concise breakdown of a pressing global issue we work hard at the Pulitzer Center to get people to hear and understand.<br /> <br />Mvemba Phezo Dizolele is one of the many talented individuals we've had the opportunity to work with at the Pulitzer Center, and was one of our first grantees back in 2007. Since then, we've continued to support quality journalism around the world.

You passed along some good information for yo...Hi,<br /><br />You passed along some good information for your readers. <br /><br />We have to get away from feel-good conservation and get to the heart of the matter. Coltan exploitation will not stop simply by raising money and sending it to conservation programs. Legislation and political will-which includes western countries using political pressure on countries that exploit DR Congo- is what has to occur for change in DRC. That's not to say DR Congo is innocent of any wrong doing. They must remove corruption from within as well.<br /><br />As long as militia continues to have the freedom to do as they will, the rape, murder, looting etc. will continue.<br /><br />Supporting the park guards is still important but it is only part of what must be done to rid DR Congo and the Kahuzi-Biega National Park of combatants.<br /><br />Rick Murphy<br />Gorilla Conservation<br />DR CongoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
