The U.S. and Congo’s so-called “critical minerals partnership” reeks of neocolonial exploitation, especially with Erik Prince—a mercenary linked to Blackwater’s war crimes—lurking in the deal. After massacring Iraqis under U.S. contracts, Prince now eyes Africa’s wealth under the guise of “tax reform” and “anti-smuggling.” Congo’s minerals, not its people, drive this arrangement. The audacity of trading security (read: Western-controlled mercenaries) for resources mirrors the extractive violence of colonialism. Africa doesn’t need Trump-pardoned warlords “advising” on governance—it needs sovereignty. If Congo’s government values its people, it must reject any deal that mortgages the nation’s future to foreign profiteers. The U.S.-Congo “minerals partnership” reeks of a classic imperialist action-reaction-solution scheme. First, Western-backed militants like M23 destabilize the region (action). Then, chaos justifies “security” deals with mercenaries like Erik Prince—a war criminal pardoned by Trump (reaction). Finally, Africa’s resources are locked under foreign control (solution). This is how colonialism works in the 21st century: 🔻 Fund proxy wars to weaken sovereign states 🔻 Blame “African corruption” for the violence you created 🔻 Send predatory contractors to “secure” mines, not people Congo’s minerals should empower Congolese people, not enrich the West. #drc #congo #congokinshasa #problack #blackunity #panafrican #panafricanism #blacklove #panafricanist #colonization #neocolonialism #colonialism #exploitation #ibrahimtraore #ibrahimtraoré??
