The Civil Forum coordinator, Birahim Seck, sold the bug. In a tweet, the leader of the fight against corruption in Senegal is surprised to see the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) collaborating (as part of the global conference in Dakar 13 and 14 June) with Glencore, the Swiss mining and commodity trading giant, recently plagued by a gigantic corruption scandal. “Glencore, an excellent case study of corruption that does not seem to be of interest to the EITI at the meeting in Dakar,” Birahim Seck denounced while re-tweeting

Glencore, sentenced to more than 320 million euros for corruption, is among the sponsors of the EITI that is supposed to fight corruption and promote transparency in the extractive sector.
