Congo's Mineral Wealth: A Path to Prosperity?
Update: 2025-12-23
Description
Despite a historic peace deal, conflict persists in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a nation rich in minerals like cobalt and copper. The US has imposed sanctions on armed groups and companies profiting from illegal mining. The economy shows resilience, growing 6.5% in 2024, but the human toll is staggering, with over 6 million lives lost and millions displaced. New US-led efforts aim to challenge Chinas dominance, but stronger governance and lasting peace are needed for the Congo to become an economic powerhouse.
