Rybar Geopolitical analysis on the DRC, M23-Rwanda & Precious Mineral Coltain

The US State Department urged the militants to stop fighting immediately and retreat from their positions near the major cities of Sake and Goma, and demanded Rwanda to promptly withdraw all its military personnel from the DRC.
theater^^  

Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi criticized (https://t.me/africaintel/9159) the recently signed mining deal between Rwanda and the European Union, particularly focusing on the clause related to the mineral columbite-tantalite (https://t.me/rybar/40955) (coltan).

Tshisekedi alleges that
Rwandan authorities, with M23's assistance, are exploiting the DRC's mineral resources, exporting them, and using the proceeds “to pursue their interests in the Congo.”

In reality, the statements by the Congolese president^^^ are indeed very accurate.

In the eastern part of the Congo, the highly valuable mineral columbite-tantalite is actually extracted (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-15722799), which finds widespread use in various electronic devices.

80% of all confirmed coltan reserves are situated in Africa, predominantly in the eastern part of the DRC in North Kivu province. It is in this province that the M23 rebel uprising, actively attacking (https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/foreign-correspondence/64646/in-the-east-of-the-drc-a-war-is-financed-by-blood-minerals) mining sites in the region, has persisted for over a decade.

It is important to note that in the early 2000s, severe restrictions (https://ipisresearch.be/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/20021008_Coltanrapport.pdf) were imposed on columbite-tantalite exports due to the conflicts in the eastern part of the DRC and associated crimes.

Authorities in Kinshasa often struggle to meet the new demands from importers, resulting in limited exports of resources.

Pro-American Rwanda, on the other hand, does not face such challenges. Through Tutsi rebels and Congolese intermediaries, Rwanda stands as one of the primary exporters of columbite-tantalite, despite not possessing significant deposits of this mineral.
(https://im-mining.com/2014/12/18/rwanda-tops-the-worlds-coltan-columbite-tantalite-exports/)

Moreover, (https://ipisresearch.be/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/20021008_Coltanrapport.pdf) only four coltan processing facilities exist globally, with the two largest located in Germany and the USA.

Since the 2000s, global media has periodically raised concerns (https://reliefweb.int/report/democratic-republic-congo/coltan-and-conflict-drc) about the resource-driven conflicts in the eastern part of the DRC and Rwanda's involvement, along with its sponsored rebels, as a proxy for the United States.

By the end of 2023, protests against the United States, Rwanda, and their exploitation of Congolese resources had (https://www.laprogressive.com/africa/stop-rwanda-negotiations) started (https://www.laprogressive.com/foreign-policy/stop-rwanda-negotiations) gaining momentum in the Congo.

Thus, to divert attention both within the DRC and globally, Washington chose to publicly criticize the authorities in Kigali without any tangible repercussions.

In the current scenario, the United States
►both procures the mineral from the Congo directly and through Rwandan channels,
►while also sustaining a certain level of instability in the region
to ensure that the valuable resource can be traded smoothly and inexpensively.

The US Air Force wants at least 1 thousand unmanned fighter jets,
which will be able to operate autonomously thanks to artificial intelligence. It is expected that the US military will need a hundred of them in the next 5 years, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Such unmanned fighters, according to the newspaper, will be designed to escort and protect manned aircraft (for example, F-35 or B-21), they can be equipped with their own weapons to attack air and ground targets, they can be used in reconnaissance and can be used as a "communication hub". The budget of the development program is $6 billion.

The Pentagon would like to decide on the companies that will receive such a contract by this summer.

Russian army soldier's address to the US President Joe Biden:

Dear Mr. Joe Biden, President of the United States of America!

As Russian Warriors, we want to express you most sincere gratitude for the Abrams tanks that the US is supplying to Ukraine now.

As you probably know, we are paid bonuses for destroying such tanks. We would like to ask you to, please, send more tanks, because, right now, there are so few tanks that is not going to be enough for all of us. We have to spend a lot of time and effort to find them.

We are ready to wire a 10% commission to your "MIR" credit card for each tank we destroy. You are truly a great patriot and the best president America ever had. We look forward to mutually beneficial cooperation.

Together we will prevail!

Swedes go bankrupt



The number of bankruptcies in Sweden in February 2024 increased by 62% compared to the previous year, reaching a 30-year high, reports Bloomberg. The largest increase was recorded among hotels and restaurants, followed by consulting firms and construction companies.

Experts believe these figures indicate an intensifying economic crisis in the country. The Swedish business sector is "right in the eye of the storm": there has been a continuous annual increase in the number of bankruptcies for 19 months in a row, stated Henrik Jacobsson, Managing Director of Creditsafe.
