The Lobito Corridor Project, backed by the US and EU, should not proceed. It exemplifies the deliberate exploitation of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s 🇨🇩 natural resources and minerals, driven by economic interests. Instead of fostering sustainable development and fair trade, projects like this deepen inequality and perpetuate exploitation. The #DRC 🇨🇩deserves partnerships that empower its prosperity, not ones that strip away its wealth!

IS LOBITO CORRIDOR A RESOURCE EXTRACTION PATHWAY?
Outgoing US President Joe Biden's visit this past week to the port city of Lobito in Angola has sparked debate on the 1,300-km, US-financed Lobito Corridor. The rail line, which aims to connect Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to Angola's Atlantic coast, raises eyebrows.
While some argue the 'partnership' between the three African states, and the US and the EU, will boost their economies, others, like podcast host and Congo activist Hadija (@readingafricana on X), consider it another neo-colonial Western move to syphon African minerals at its people's expense.

Em Angola, para o governo actual, as aparências são muito, mas muito mais importantes do que o real funcionamento das infraestruturas. É mais importante inaugurar uma estrutura do que garantir o seu funcionamento. A manutenção do bem público simplesmente não entra na equação. 🧵
Dont be confused by mass migration.
Its very simple.
Westerners do not reproduce fast enough to support forever profit of the financial elites.
Workers and slaves are needed.
We no longer maintain population levels.
If we can not grow a stable population for exploitation than we do not deserve to exist, we will be eradicated and replaced.
We are nothing but entitled brats who expect safe working conditions and pensions. Migrants do not have such expectations.
We are seen as pests.
You will be replaced by people who will have babies and work cheap forever. People who have no concern for politics.
Slaves.
The decision has long been made to replace westerners completely.
Feminism/LGBT etc is injected to REDUCE our propensity to procreate and have families.
Accelerant.
Financial elites have zero concern for how this destabilises and destroys Europe/USA - as they are a floating structure who will always live in the most favourable places on earth regardless.
@lukasFragas@Cobratate There's no contradicton Lukas, the goal is:
1. Reduce "westerners" who expect high paying job with perfect conditions. Let them change sex and cut their...
2. Replace them by migrants who are ready to work for pennies. These can reproduce as needed.
