Gold is now the most lucrative conflict mineral in eastern Congo, with at least 12 tons (worth roughly $500 million) smuggled out annually. Despite regulations, it is still relatively easy to smuggle gold due to the large value of even a small sample. Ask U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power to help sanction key conflict gold smugglers that aid and abet rebel groups in Congo. www2.americanprogress.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=311
