Gold from eastern Congo. The war in the Democratic Republic of Congo is fueled by a thriving gold trade today, with armed groups controlling mines and earning an estimated $50 million last year from selling gold and minerals. This gold is from a day's work at Kaniola mine. (Caption and image courtesy of Sasha Lezhnev/enoughproject.org)
