What is wrong with Africa? War started in the Middle East and we started sending our so-called support to the countries at war, yet we turned a blind eye to our very own, we turned a blind eye to what is happening to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Before we continue, I would like to officially welcome you to my YouTube Channel, "The African Economy" where I discuss the economy of Africa and much more, please subscribe so as not to miss any future videos. Thank you.

What is happening in Congo? Image by Modupe Ladele

With an estimated $23 trillion in undeveloped mineral deposits, the Democratic Republic of the Congo is the richest country in the world in terms of material resources

Yet

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) continues to experience serious human rights violations, including mass killings in the context of armed conflict.

To answer the question what is happening in the Democratic Republic of the Congo?

Armed conflict is happening in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Exploitation of the highest order is happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the world's wealthiest countries in minerals

But armed group are terrorizing Congo, this armed group are not sponsoring themselves someone is sponsoring them, they are sponsored by the West.

Do you need evidence? I will do you one better, I will ask a question why is it that the megacompanies in the West are beneficiaries of the chaos happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo?

The situation has thrown a large percentage of a country with about 100 million people in terror and panic. The most populous francophone country in the world and they are being displaced

Megacompanies like Apple, Tesla which is owned by Elon Musk, Google, Dell and Microsoft are getting raw resources for their products from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Isn't it funny that Elon Musk is so against illegal immigrants entering the United States of America, but has a company that is illegally and unethically exploiting a whole country, with about 100 million people in it, and now they are displaced, they can't stay in their own country, they have nowhere to go.

It has gotten so worse that The Democratic Republic of Congo has threatened Apple with legal action.

and Rwanda's Government has shown the whole of Africa that they are simply puppets for the West, because why else would they say "that the claims of the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo that they made accusing Apple from the United States 🇺🇸 of buying minerals illegally transported from the Congo 🇨🇩 through Rwanda, are unfounded and has to be ignored."

The so-called Humanitarian services said, "Humanitarian aid is hindered by ongoing violence in DR Congo."

But do not forget.

War didn’t stop them from helping Gaza,

War didn’t stop them from helping Ukraine.

But violence, violence is what is stopping them from helping the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Why should the interests of the West, Europe, and China be protected in the Democratic Republic of Congo?

May God help Africa, Pray for Congo but don't just pray, fight for The Democratic Republic of Congo.
