- Abstract
This article analyzes the various aspects of conflict around mining concession in South Kivu in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Although there is a whole literature on the strained relations between transnational mining companies and local communities, too little research has been done on the complexities of power at various levels, including at the local level. Starting from an empirical approach "from below", this article demonstrates how the changes caused by the arrival of the company Banro Corporation provoked resistance, but also a reconfiguration of local and national power and politics.
