Is DR Congo Baiting the US to Enter Its War Against M23 Rebels? | Firstpost Africa | N18G

Описание: The Democratic Republic of Congo has reportedly made a high-stakes gambit in its conflict-torn eastern region by offering the US access to the Rubaya coltan mine. This strategic move, part of a mineral pact brokered by the Trump administration, carries a significant catch: the mine is currently controlled by M23 rebels and the Congo River Alliance (AFC)—both of which are under US sanctions. The mineral deal highlights Washington’s aim to loosen China’s grip on African mineral reserves. However, with the rebels generating nearly $800,000 monthly from the site, experts suggest that Kinshasa’s offer may be an attempt to draw the US military directly into the battlefield.
