Mining the Congo w/ Josaphat Musamba, Germain Ngoie Tshibambe, & Ben Radley (AR&D Ep.10)

With this episode of Guerrilla History, we bring you another fascinating episode in our series African Revolutions and Decolonization. This time, a big episode on mining in Congo - extraction, exploitation, environmental and economic impacts, as well as the history, regional variations, and the difference between industrial mining and artisanal mining in Congo. For this, we are lucky to be joined by Ben Radley as a guest host, and two excellent guests from the Congo - Josaphat Musamba and Germain Ngoie Tshibambe. Given their academic work on this, plus Josaphat's actual experience as a miner himself, we could not ask for a better group to unpack this! Share widely to help others understand this remarkably pivotal industry. Also be sure to check out our two previous episodes from the series on the Congo (The First, and The Second). Lastly, check out the Centre of Expertise on Mining Governance. Josaphat Musamba is a Congolese researcher, and is a Ph.D. student at Ghent University. Check out Josaphat's twitter @MusambaJosaphat and his ResearchGate profile. Germain Ngoie Tshibambe is a full professor at the University of Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where he teaches international relations and is the Head Advisor of the Rector's Cabinet. Check out his Academia page and ResearchGate profile. Ben Radley is is a Lecturer in International Development at the University of Bath, is author of Disrupted Development in the Congo: The Fragile Foundations of the African Mining Consensus, and is an editor of the Review of African Political Economy (ROAPE).
