Congo disputes Canadian miner Banro’s suspension of operations

Democratic Republic of Congo has declared "null and void" Canadian gold miner Banro’s suspension of operations at several of its sites in the central African country.

In September Banro said its Namoya mine in eastern Congo was overwhelmed by Mai Mai militiamen, forcing the miner to declare force majeure and suspend operations at its Namoya, Lugushwa, and Kamituga sites while its Twangiza site remained operational.
