African countries should shut down all minerals for a while and then they must price their with a valuable amount just like these countries who have oil, gas etc But if one country is challenging the western countries alone definitely that one country will fail

He's not mad about the "blood minerals". He's just mad he didn't get his cut.

[@MatondoVakiele]

You are very useless his our President he can get or have anything he want in Congo, and if he want a cut not from Rwanda

[@kadunyifoundation]

Rwandais

Who enforces the laws of a country? The government. It is the government's duty to enforce the law. It is the government's duty to stop smuggling. The president of Congo has the duty to ensure that no smuggling happens in his country. This country's president is incompetent and asinine.
