The U.S. and Congoβs so-called βcritical minerals partnershipβ reeks of neocolonial exploitation, especially with Erik Princeβa mercenary linked to Blackwaterβs war crimesβlurking in the deal. After massacring Iraqis under U.S. contracts, Prince now eyes Africaβs wealth under the guise of βtax reformβ and βanti-smuggling.β Congoβs 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 doesnβt need Trump-pardoned warlords βadvisingβ on governanceβit needs sovereignty. If Congoβs government values its people, it must reject any deal that mortgages the nationβs future to foreign profiteers. The U.S.-Congo βminerals partnershipβ reeks of a classic imperialist action-reaction-solution scheme. First, Western-backed militants like M23 destabilize the region (action). Then, chaos justifies βsecurityβ deals with mercenaries like Erik Princeβa war criminal pardoned by Trump (reaction). Finally, Africaβs resources are locked under foreign control (solution). This is how colonialism works in the 21st century: π» Fund proxy wars to weaken sovereign states π» Blame βAfrican corruptionβ for the violence you created π» Send predatory contractors to βsecureβ mines, not people Congoβs minerals should empower Congolese people, not enrich the West. #drc #congo #congokinshasa #problack #blackunity #panafrican #panafricanism #blacklove #panafricanist #colonization #neocolonialism #colonialism #exploitation #ibrahimtraore #ibrahimtraorΓ©??
