in a bid for protection, DRC recently offered Trumplandia a minerals deal


Congo’s government said at least 7,000 people (https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/7000-killed-since-january-fighting-drc-says-congo-prime-minister-2025-02-24/) have died in the fighting since January. At least 600,000 people have been displaced by the fighting since November, according to OCHA.

Several African armies joined the fray in Congo during wars of the 1990s and early 2000s and millions of people died, mainly from hunger and disease triggered by years of conflict and foreign occupation.
