Podcast - Qui perd, qui gagne? Ep. 16: Amendment 5 to the Sicomines agreement: promises kept or persistent imbalances?

Two years after the renegotiation of Amendment 5 to the Mining Agreement between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the consortium of Chinese companies involved in the Sicomines project, and following the announcement of an audit, many questions remain. Has the promised infrastructure actually been delivered? Is the DRC now deriving greater benefit from its mineral resources? In this new episode of our podcast “Qui perd, qui gagne?”, we take stock of Amendment 5, signed in March 2024, and the changes it was supposed to bring to this strategic partnership. This podcast is produced by Actualité.cd in partnership with Resource Matters.
