The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the most mineral-rich nations in the world. Its resources should be a blessing for the Congolese people, but instead the competition for control of these riches has fueled a bloody war in which nearly four million people have died since 1998. A Congolese gold miner told Human Rights Watch, “We are cursed because of our gold. All we do is suffer.”
Marcus Bleasdale partnered with Human Rights Watch to expose and document the illegal gold smuggling from Congo’s mines where abusive local warlords gain the profits while local populations suffer. Marcus’ photographs have received numerous awards, including the 2006 Overseas Press Club and the 2006 World Photo Press Award for Daily Life Singles. His photographs have appeared in Time, the New Yorker, Newsweek, National Geographic, and the Telegraph.
