The Crisis in The DRC,  The Blood Mines, Paul Kagame, The Rwandan Genocide. What’s The Connection?

It’s easy to say that the various crises going on in Africa, especially in the DRC, is just a case of mindless Africans fighting themselves. Or that Africans cannot govern themselves. That would be nothing but a naive way of looking at it. But this false Western narrative of mindless Africans fighting themselves is what the global media backed by their owners want the world to believe about Africa. But they never mention the part about who is funding the fights in Africa. Who is supplying the guns and ammunition that the so-called rebels use for the destabilization of various regions in Africa? Where are the gold, uranium, lithium, diamonds, and cobalt mined in these crisis-ridden regions going? Obviously, they are not stored in Africa. But Africans are the mindless war-mongers who only know how to fight themselves. But the same is the story of corrupt African leaders who steal from their people and then keep them in offshore accounts in Switzerland. Africa is seen as corrupt but the bank that stores the stolen money is holy. I thought the law says that anyone who buys stolen goods is also a thief.

You wonder why the war in the DRC never seems to end even as you watch the nations of the world who love to talk about human rights abuse are quiet about the genocide going on in the DRC over mineral resources. Well, the DRC sits on vast mineral wealth that the world wants and would do anything to keep them in crisis so they can access it.

The narrative of Africa must shift from what it has always been but it’s up to Africans to know what’s happening and do something about it. Click on the link to watch the video we did about this issue.
