International Campaign Fatal Transactions

Conflicts and Natural Resources in Africa

Fatal Transactions is an international consumer campaign, calling on the public and other interested organisations to ask governments and companies involved in extractive industries to implement effective controls to ensure that the trade in natural resources does not finance or otherwise support conflict and economic injustice in Africa. The campaign wants to raise awareness and increase understanding of how western companies are involved in conflicts in Africa through buying natural resources from combatants.
