Democratic Republic of the Congo: Mineral rich Province of Katanga dreams of independence
A subsoil endowed with riches; a metropolis with controlled development; a distinctive identity maintained by its political elite; and a secessionist heritage …The most opulent province of the country cultivates its difference without complex.

Sitting in garland in the talus, young women place their odds and ends on the floor.
