Congolese soldiers fired gunshots in the air on Monday as illegal miners gathered outside a metallurgical plant on a copper and cobalt concession run by Glencore, a witness told Reuters.

The protest at the Luilu plant follows the eviction last week of thousands of illegal miners from Glencoreโ€™s Kamoto Copper Company (KCC) concession, where 43 people died in a landslide.
