On May 22, lawyers representing the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) presented new evidence suggesting that US tech giant Apple may be sourcing minerals from conflict areas in eastern Congo. The evidence, reportedly gathered from whistleblowers, has heightened concerns over the tech giant's supply chain practices. The DRC's legal team has accused Apple of ignoring requests for information regarding the use of conflict minerals in its products, including the iPhone. Additionally, there are allegations that these minerals may be smuggled through Rwanda before reaching Apple. The DRC's lawyers are urging Apple to respond to these accusations and are evaluating legal options.
