Expose the truth. Help create accountability for those who profit from corruption and conflict in Africa.

The Sentry investigates people and companies who profit from corruption and violent conflict in the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar, South Sudan, Sudan, and Zimbabwe, and works to help hold these corrupt actors accountable. If you have information about corruption, theft of state resources, or war profiteering in any of these countries, we want to hear from you.
