New report from the Ebuteli Institute: "The Paradoxes of the DRC's Ambitions in the Hydrocarbon Sector"

For decades, the Congolese oil sector has been marked by short-term and speculative management, dominated by private interests and a lack of institutional transparency. The scarcity of reliable geological data reduces competition and leaves the field open to opportunistic companies, often lacking the necessary financial and technical resources.

MUANDA HAS THE RIGHT TO KNOW: AFTER THE HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH REPORT, WE DEMAND THE IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT ON PERENCO'S ACTIVITIES IN THE DRC

In Muanda, communities have lived for years in proximity to flares, wells and pipelines, without knowing their actual level of exposure to pollution. The report published by Human Rights Watch on July 27, 2026 reinforces the alerts already raised by residents and civil society. It documents flaring activities at five sites, including one located less than 80 meters from homes, as well as oil leaks, burning of toxic waste and risks to water, soil and health. Meanwhile, the environmental audit commissioned by the government in December 2024 has still not been published. The memorandum filed on April 10, 2026 during Stand Up Muanda also remains without official response. We call for the immediate publication of the audit, public access to environmental data, independent monitoring, a health study and concrete measures for pollution remediation and repair. Muanda has the right to know what it breathes, what it drinks and what contaminates its lands.
