Ogogoro analysts. How will minerals being exchanged help develop DRC?
These are the type of leaders that sell out the future of their countries in order to keep themselves in power.

Rewanda will soon retreat. Nigerian army can crush M23, let him offer us the minerals but Tinubu will loot it.

That is all the animal wants.

Minerals deal from Congo to Ukraine all the way down to Greenland and Mali.

This idiot triggered a war in his country due to his ethnic discriminatory policies. He has carried out nonstop propaganda against Rwanda and his predecessor since he started losing. Now he realises that he can never win and Now he’s trying to lure the Americans into his stupid war.
Why not win the war first and then bring in whichever foreign powers that u wish to do biz with?

Untapped minerals in Kongo are estimated to be worth about 24 Trillion USD. This exclusive deal could give US heavy financial advantages and make Congo one of the most developed countries in Africa due to the economic stability and security.

Sounds like a smart move. Rather than die poor on top of minerals that you’ll never get to enjoy because of foreign backed rebels, you might as well offer the minerals to the US in exchange for security and money to develop your country. This looks even better than the Ukrainian deal. The US won’t need to spend hundreds of billions of dollars and not get their money back.
Whats the Ukraine deal with the us govt?

I'm not angry
It's a shameful thing for Africa to invite America to help settle its issues
It simply shows that AU is useless
The rebels are equally backed by Stronger nations so why not make a fair deal with another strong nation to save DRC from the bayamulenges?

seems you are dreaming.

how will Congo giving the US exclusive access to its minerals make it one of the most developed countries in Africa?

is it foreign backed rebels that are controlling mineral mining in Congo?

This is a simple barter of minerals about to be lost along with territory for weapons thats lacking. Whats the use of the mineral in the enemy's hand?
Same too with Russia. What the use of strengthening a neighbouring bully with minerals when it can be exchanged for weapons to help weaken the enemy and prevent future aggression?
Re: Congo Offers Trump Minerals Deal In Exchange For Military Aid by Mrexcell(m): 10:50am On Mar 21, 2025
Very strategic move I don't even understand how a very small country like Rwanda is pulling this much military weight over a large country like the congo.

They will extract, destroy and you will beg them to go away. African leaders never learn. The leaders are busy looting their own resources, while the rebels loot in the areas possessed by them.

Fix your country.
They have no ability to fix nothing for the next 500 years.

What kind of course is following some African I don't just understand.

Everyone is running toward independence and sovereignty, this one is selling is country to colonialism and slavery.

The cancelation of USAID was a chance for many countries to take their destinies in their hands.

Also it is a very obvious and popular fact that American military does not give you peace, in fact they give you the opposite, your country will remain in turmoil for as long as you still have minerals, they will make sure of it.


You will loose control of you government, your country, your sovereignty.

I guess the Congolese are adicted to being slaves and have missed it that freedom and independence is torture to them.
Rebels are coming to take their country away and u are talking about slaves? If they can hold their country by themselves will they ask for help?

it's either u get help or perish and u are talking about slave?

Goldeno:
And you think US will pay them money for the minerals?
All US will do is build military base in there country and give them the illusion of security while they take their minerals. US will not give them shisi, after all that's the deal, security-for-mineral. So in other words they will Ramain even poorer.

And the US will ensure that peace never returns to that country, even when the mineral finish they will just become another military outpost for US.
After all once there is peace there will be no need for the US again, will there?!
Otherwise you will what happens to France in Africa happen to them.
It is a case of DRC losing their eastern flank and the majority of the 24T USD deposits to rebels who started their fight with marginalisation as excuse but have transformed into resource grabbing movement and are obviously backed by stronger nations(likely Britain). Why strengthen an enemy when you can invite a partner and trade off some of the resource fuelking the conflict to keep your territory? Why?

Would you rather foreign backed rebels finish them off and give them nothing? or you think that the world will leave you to enjoy the minerals that you can't even process? Where has that ever happened in the history of the world? Wake up.

AU's existence should thus be questioned

Those minerals are now more or less a curse to Congo

Imagine fighting over a mineral you don't have any idea how to extract

What is wrong with africa
Ignorance, lack of knowledge, claiming that education is scam. I am sorry for any Nation that doesn't value quality education. Even Nigeria doesn't prioritize quality education. Name one innovative thing produce here. The developed world is going very far away from us

Re: Congo Offers Trump Minerals Deal In Exchange For Military Aid by viodemus: 11:10am On Mar 21, 2025
This is what the igbos need to do.
Offer trump 100% deal for 4 years, all oil and gas alone. The other rare earth and solid minerals, we will keep that in savings or use for services.


Congo is offering this deal, but Rwanda tutsi areas is where the resources are.


Afterall, oga America, don't mind if people depopulate in africa, so the igbos need to take advantage.
