DRC-US MINERAL DEAL EXPLAINED

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is offering the US exclusive access to its critical minerals. In return, Washington promises to help 'stabilise' eastern Congo. We sat down with two powerful voices, Kambale Musavuli (@kambalem on IG), political analyst at the Center for Research on the Congo-Kinshasa and Maurice Carney one of the co-founders of Friends of the Congo (congofriends on IG) to help unpack what this deal really means. They challenge the mainstream narrative and expose how US interests have long fueled the very instability they now claim to solve. Is this another neocolonial play cloaked in diplomacy?

Have a watch, and please let us know what you think.
