(Reuters) - A Congolese worker separates coltan and cassiterite, or tin ore, in a mud hut at Numbi in eastern Congo July 24, 2010. New efforts to clamp down on Congo's armed groups that finance their existence with minerals sourced from the country's conflict-wracked east -- much of which ends up in laptops, cell phones and jewellery around the world -- have been criticised for trying to achieve the impossible and risking the livelihoods of a million people in the area who depend on mining.

(Reuters) - Belgium's King Albert II stands behind a Congolese flag held by a Republican Guard, in front of Congolese President Joseph Kabila (background) at a welcome ceremony in Kinshasa, June 28, 2010. Congo wants to use Wednesday's independence jubilee to buff up the country’s troubled image, but armed rebellions, widespread graft and concerns over rights abuses are dampening the party mood.
