MONGBWALU, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO - JUNE 29, 2005: Young men work at a gold mine in Mongbwalu, Democratic Republic of Congo. Congolese men toil for long hours in difficult and dangerous conditions at the mine for very little pay. Most of the gold found will be taken by the FNI militia which controls the mine. Gold has funded and fueled many of the DRC's conflicts over the years. (Photo by Matt Moyer)
