July 5, 2025M23 rebels seize Twangiza Mine and force the employees to work without pay
GOLD miner Twangiza Mining SA has accused Rwanda-backed M23 rebels of forcing its employees to work without pay after seizing its mine in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, according to a Reuters Report.
The Chinese-owned company, headquartered in Congo, alleged in a Friday statement that workers were being held in captivity, forced to work in inhuman conditions, without any security measures, remuneration or medical coverage.
M23 rebels staged a lightning advance earlier this year in eastern Congo, capturing unprecedented territory in North and South Kivu provinces.
The Twangiza Mining site is located in South Kivu province.
