A general view of the Disele diamond washing plant of Miba (Minicre de Bakwanga) in Mbuji-Mayi, Kasai region, Democratic Republic of Congo, on May 3, 2021. - Once one of the jewels in the crown of the economy of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Bakwanga Mining Company (Miba), responsible for extracting the lucrative Kasai diamond, is struggling to rise from its ashes, despite the timid resumption of industrial operations. Through the resources it provided to the state in the form of taxes, Miba, a state-owned company, prided itself on having been "one of the major contributors to the national economy".
