African analyst, Khadiha Sharife, exposes “tax avoidance” by mining companies in Africa – specifically by Glencore in Zambia – and elsewhere. She notes that mining corporations’ tax avoidance schemes cost African nations billions of dollars each year. However she finds severe fault in the much-lauded Extractive Industries Transparency Iniative (EITI). She claims it may hinder, rather than help, in restoring stolen profits to the countries where they were generated. See: http://www.minesandcommunities.org/article.php?a=10997
