Groups call on World Bank to withdraw support for the Dikulushi copper/silver mine

On June 6, the “Four Corners” broadcast exposed Anvil Mining’s role in helping the Congolese Armed Forces (FARDC) put down with disproportionate force and violence a small-scale rebellion. In response, human rights and environmental groups are calling on the Word Bank’s political risk insurer, the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), to withdraw its guarantee for Anvil’s Dikulushi copper/silver mine.
