“the Rubaiya mine, which is not far from Goma. But, according to your investigation, the number of deaths, or rather they don't talk about it.”

RFI Monde

“Plusieurs éboulements, il n'y a pas eu qu'un seul. Toutes les semaines, il y a des éboulements, parfois plusieurs éboulements par semaine... et on n'en parle pas même en RDC.”

RFI Afrique

“even the Congolese journalists that I met, people from Goma, cannot go to this mine... it is really a forbidden zone for journalists and there are regularly every week more than 1,000 deaths”

RFI Monde

“environ 1000 morts de journalistes congolais que j'ai rencontrés. Des gens de Goma ne peuvent pas se rendre sur cette mine... c'est vraiment une zone interdite aux journalistes.”
