"The use of Forced Labour at the Colluli Potash Project in Eritrea" 28 August 2014

The systematic stripping of Eritrea's mineral resources continues...The  Eritrean government's rapaciousness continues  as they enter into a partnership with South  Boulder Mines Ltd. The South Boulder Mines Ltd  is an Australian mining company, and its  headquarters is based in West Perth, Western  Australia. The high grade, rich and concentrated Potassium Sulfate deposit is found in Colluli, in South East Eritrea...A feasibility study has been carried out and, preparation for the exploitation of potash is under way. As part of the preparation, the road from Culluli to Marena coastline is being fortified and rebuilt using the forced labour of underfed and overworked Eritreans in terrible living and working conditions.
