How does the EU sign a trade agreement with Rwanda knowing very well that Rwanda doesn't mine any of those minerals? At least we know who is funding the conflict now.
Lmao you think Rwanda has no resources??
Tell me about it
Amazing this evil, the blood of Congolese people are in their hands.

🇫🇷 🇫🇷 supports 🇷🇼 🇷🇼 and 🇷🇼 🇷🇼 funds M23.. they deleted this comment 3 times
Now they are supporting little rwanda day light
RUANDA DOES NOT HAVE RAW MATERIALS IT'S FROM DR CONGO
Minerals don't end at the imaginary borders drawn by Europeans. Every country on earth has minerals.
@@afro5000every country on earth does not have minerals. Rwanda is one of them. Nyangalakata
@EstaJeanette-nk7fj Just because you lack knowledge doesn't mean your statement is true.
Rwanda produces only banana and cows
Rwanda don't have any minéral. But you Européen sign contrat with them. Now we know who support all this rebel Rwanda give gun.
Yea. They have it and more more beautiful quality than DRC , you must know well about it . Thank you

Poor minde set 😅
@@habumuremyimaurice3461is Kagame paying enough😂😂. What kind of creature you gotga be to defend someone who killed his own ppl to take power
There's no congo problem, Rwanda created problems in congo, u exported your genocide into the Congolese land .congo has 450 tribes but neverkilled each and others....till the Tutsi army crossed congo borders in 1996 @@timothytusubira9904
So kagame all along is an imposter. A European vessel
This is not normal, Rwanda does not produce any minerals. But why insult the Congolese??
Do you honestly believe that minerals stop at European made borders?
Who told you ? ,We have all kind of minerals exist on earth
Drc the blessed country on minerals
At last african people now know who is behind Rwanda's criminal businesses... crystal clear even to a blind person
Shame on you EUROPÉENNE
DRC should first exit the Francophone which is led by Louis Mushikiwabo,Kagame’s Waiter.
What do you expect from criminals who put The Butcher of Kigali, Paul "The Bloody" Kagame, in power? 😂 They've become bold enough to sign deals in broad daylight but the Congolese have suffered from consequences of this diabolical alliance for 3 DECADES.
@@afro5000Rwanda and Uganda the poorest countries of Africa caused those 99 problems that you think Congo has.
Finally. Someone with common sense saying the truth.
@@honesthose The M23 controls 1 province out of 26 provinces of the Congo. Who's stealing the minerals from the other provinces ?
The president of Uganda and Rwanda they are playing games on Congo it Congo to wake up
I always see u posting about Uganda. What's wrong with u
Am I going crazy? What the hell is going on?! Why are aggressors being supported n victimized ?
Well, the US trained Kagame and supported hin to invade Rwanda in 1990. They covered all the crimes he committed before, during and after the Rwanda genocide, btw, Kagame is the architecture of the Rwanda genocide, he killed more Hutus civilians than Hutus extremists killed Tutsis. He disrespected any peace deal, shot down the airplane that had both presidents (from Rwnada and Burundi). The US did all this so they can invade DRC to either control it, which is something they tried in late 90s, or destabilize it do they can loot it. The EU follow the US and they all know the plan. The plan to balkanize DRC was born the moment DRC become independent. There are more to it. Its a diqbolic plan of the west.
@arnolddayday4565: The double genocide theory is a debunked claim by extremist Hutus and some of their sympathizers. The facts are well documented and known by all.
@@arnolddayday4565 I know cap when I see it
@@2tappsv1 so ur basically blind then
@@samuellolango9720 the empty minds make the most noise
Why is Africa still signing raw material deals?
DRC should cancel agreement with EU.
EU and Ruanda are stilling raw materials in CONGO 🇨🇩
RWANDA SOIL DOESN'T HAVE THOSE MINERALS U DIGN CONTRACT WITH THEM SHAME ON U
If I am to pick a side. I would pick the DRC. purely because of the innocent civilians who are suffering injustice on their side. I understand Rwanda also. Their nation needs to survive and the DRC and its minerals is crucial for their survival. War and terrorism though on innocent DRC citizens is unacceptable. Rwanda is being nothing but selfish. They can find better means to benefit and sustain their country. Wanting 100 million people to suffer simply because of their 13 million people. Viva DRC watching from Zambia.
we don't need to support them at all
Rwanda doesn’t revolve around minerals continue believing everything the influencers say
Is true that DRC has minerals worth 24 trillions Dollars
True, it is the richest country in te world, UK and USA can't compare
Shame on you EU
Is DRC blaming or accusing Rwanda of stealing ,DRC is one of the poorest countries in africa yet the country has 24 trillions dollars of minerals ,Rwanda is not in the top 20 richest countries in africa. How come DRC is not number one richest country in the world. I'm just asking.
Because the money ends up in the congo rulers’ swiss accounts
Top 20 richest? Or top 20 poorest? Cleaning streets don't make you rich. Last time I checked rwandan GDP per capital was 968. 😂 They can't even succeed even with stealing minerals.
While Africa is plundered for critical Conflict Minerals in very high International demand even the Gospel of Peace had left the eastern DR Congo.
70 years after independence but still displaying no sign of humanity.
Europe should emancipate in their perception of Congo.
We are not slaves....
We are not coheir with Europe on our resources.
Soon we will wed Russia.
Basically makeing it hard for our country to survive off of our own land and resources we love all people and we just want our country back to make congo great and unstoppable
Are all Congolese problems caused by Rwanda..... I doubt that.... I wish Congolese and all African people peace.... Let's start using our own brain and achieve peace....
Unite as one people.Get up stand iup,stznd up for your rights.
NO DEAL NO DIALOGUE M23
A Military Deal with Russia or China to Secure their borders is better for DRC then to trust the EU or USA. Congo has to join Brics for improving it’s Economy -a radical change has to come for the whole continent of africa. No More stealing of Ressources and no More neocolonialism
Poor EU and France your time is running out in Africa just wait and see.
Provocation
La paix svp oh
Congo has always been messy.
Was congo orderly before Kagame?
Corruption and bad governance alone will continue to cripple the population into misery.
Hhhhhhh congo should learn to solve its problems instead of blaming others. M23 are congolese who speak kinyarwanda and this is due to the partitioning of africa by the Europeans. They gave part of the Rwandan kingdom to congo. Congo wants to keep the land and send away its inhabitants . M23 are congolese fighting for their rights as congolese.
Regina thomas 😶
The eu should revoke the deal it signed with chilombo in October. That will calm him down.
The Congolese people are right........
EU must dismiss this agreement immediately
5.4 million dead in 2008 and fightings renewing last year again.....
Yes because for the last 18 years the so called Congolese president was actually a Rwanda rebel
@@habumuremyimaurice3461the fake news is Kagame as a heroe that is the biggest fale news. He is the real genocidaire the world know that
Honte a vous
Then they yell about human right. hypocrites!!!!!!
I mean why is the DRC crying foul now?
If they know that Rwanda is smuggling minerals from its territory, why doesn’t DRC stop them (or try to)?
they're habitual crybabies
It takes resources to confront when you are already dealing with internal problems fueled by extreme poverty.
They have. The UN placed an arms embargo on them for years which weakened their army.
I really wonder if the so called EU and the multi national have epitomize or hold a Congolese gouvernement at gun point ut clear these people are workings with Rwandan, they don't want Congo développe yet you can't break that union which is only benefitting themselves
Africa stand up together with Congo Dr against this kagame ,it high we the African union stand against this kagame
Some Congolese and the world in general should stop their nonsense. Though common sense is not common I beg all Congolese and the world again to think outside of the box. Rwanda is not and will not be the problem of Congo. Look into DRC’s leadership and start to investigate, analyze be more detailed brothers and sisters. Mind decolonization is what we need in Africa more than anything and mind decolonization starts with adopting rational thinking.
lol! They don’t wanna share the feeding bowl underneath their masters’ table. Pathetic jealousy.
We're a phone call away ~ Wagner
European union should not interfere with the running of DRC we pan Africanist we are watching soon and we shall guard our resources will all weapons,we cannot allow our minerals to be exploited am adging people of congo to stand up and guard their minerals do it for the spirit of Patrice Lumumba
The Congolese people knows now who is the looter.
International community are becoming criminal too dealing with thief so it is ridiculous and shamfull.
Politics 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's time for Congo 🇨🇩 to invite Russian the way Mali 🇲🇱 did because western are the one behind Uganda and Rwanda
I think the solution is simple,,, Wagner Group can sort this out... DRC, just get on the phone with Putin, for real, and the west will stop all this nonsense
I see many of you here talking about EU, US and Rwanda. but I wish you to go and visit Congo trust me you will have your own truth.
Imagine if today Congolese governments are talking about the stolen minerals. So what about all the past years before this esure comes in. What did they do to their peaple???? is it because of Rwanda??# think twice
Congo need a strong leadership with no corruption. the leaders that cares about their people not their pockets.
It’s more about the atrocities committed in the eastern DRC in order to have an hand to these minerals.. the death of over 3 million people.
If minerals are from Eastern cong the where is Rwanda positioned minrals gorilla's have no boarder.stop blaming Rwanda congolese are the first enemies of cong leader's betray there people.vist Goma airport and see how miniral are taken out,where individuals are stronger than government officials. Ooh God bless cong
What ever congolese do with their minerals it is really not your business.
I think the comment section is crazy. As much as the m23 are bad the perpetrators of the rwandan genocide are worse
Shame on you. How old are those who perpetrated genocide? How many of them are left ? Stop the usual kagame narrative to justify the killing and the looting. Propagandist your days are numbered
Dr Congo must stop being a baby crier, why not go to Russia like others ? That mean they are complice of what it's going on in Congo 😮 we aren't stupids, Mr Tshisekedi if you are man enough please call Russia help if not you are in the same with them all including M23
The DRC government lies foreign countries, Rwanda has a lot of minerals, EU should not consider the hate speech of DRC, the DRC says that Rwanda is developing faster because of DRC minerals which is not true. How Rwanda can be developed by DRC minerals when DRC is not rich and it belongs to them ? If a country is developing because of its natural resources, Congo would be among the richest countries in the world, DRC should arrest CORRUPTION, discrimination and hate speech among your people you will progress and stop using Rwanda as an excuse, DRC is not ashamed to lie that the reason it is poor is because of Rwanda
DRC said that the reason for m23 is because of rwanda and not that the reason it is poor is because of rwanda. Thick skull.
coming from a Rwandan, I totally agree this isn't right, if we can smuggle some minerals from DRC , I don't understand why we don't smuggle everything they have. everyone in the world is doing so and the people to blame aren't the smugglers , it's their Congolese politicians which I remind you are among the most well paid in the world😂😂😂lmao
It pathetic to back an oppressive government like Kagame’s who killed his own to get into power… you must be from another planet or completely brainwashed.
Politics is crazy! What do you think DCR had done to have minerals alone in the region? Maybe you can say that DRC has much more because it is a larger country. Minerals are needed everywhere, and crying will help DRC nothing, I can advise it to present its deals to EU and supply with Rwanda. A farmer tries to protect his/her crops, now a country can not protect its minerals against known thieves that is called corrupted and incompetent leadership and they are the ones to accuse not Rwanda
You written a thick paragraph with little substance!
Does Poor leadership make thief legitimate?
Rwanda shouldn't even exist in the first place.
Stealing is wrong
@@siohonelson9078😂😂you will know the truth later 😢😢😢
Stupidest comment ever...Ubwenge!!
Who are you to say that Rwanda shouldn't exist? Congolese behave like babies, why don't you put an eye on your so called minerals. Those minerals have not changed people's lives in terms of moving them from poverty to a better economy. Poor leadership and greedy leaders don't care for the rest of the citizens. No roads, schools, hospitals, water electricity and more infrastructures. Rwanda has everything for their people. Go Singapore of Africa.
Shape on you EU and US
how Ms. journalist the DRC continues to lie to the world about Minerals, I want to ask if Minerals also have borders, this poor country DRC is it Rwanda that makes the whole country of the DRC poor? so now I think Rwanda can continue to build its country and leave these rumors coming from this neighboring country. THANK YOU
How is rwanda selling coltan? while your geological map does not show any reserves 😅😅😅😅
You dont make sense. The minerals are in DRC so Rwanda should not enter and respect the borders of DRC.
You don’t well your geography,Rwanda don’t have nothing since the begin let’s challenge all the word to bring in experts to make a geological investigation on Rwanda to show their minerals lands.they have zero
The poor country is Ruanda no DRC.
Well said
Congo has 266 rebel groups, whose numbers have doubled since Tshisekedi came to power. Why do the Congolese only talk about the M23 and Rwanda?
Stop the lie ! Just get out Congo 🇨🇩. With the peace treaty of Nairobi and Luanda it was clear to see who was the perpetrator.
@@bertrandngo1 What am I lying about? And how many rebel groups are there in the Congo?
Bcz M23 is 2nd kigali's army
@@Kim-250how many do you know?
Even your Defense Minister, Jean Pierre Bemba, is a former rebel who has been accused of collaborating with Rwanda in the past.
EU, US troublemaker.. this is why I believe Putin must be the good guy.. pathetic!
Sincerely speaking i hear sounds of jealousy here in comment rather than fact . How can you conclude that Rwanda have no minerals while do didn't been in Rwanda for once? How can you conclude that Rwanda it's source of insecurity and poverty of DRC while it's started in decade ago while Rwanda were still colonized?
Shame on you 😢😢 and Africa as well . Why do we go to study agriculture in Israel located in desert while geographically show that good fertility soils its in Africa? As my conclusion its our ignorance make us broke and insecurity don't put our problems to other people because you failed to handle them
