iPhones 'tainted with blood'? Congo accuses Apple of using ‘illegally exploited' minerals from war zones

The accusations against Apple come amid ongoing violence and conflict in the DRC’s mineral-rich Great Lakes region, with accusations against Rwanda of supporting rebel groups to control the region’s resources.

This is particularly egregious though. They're talking about North Kivu.
