#RDC : L’espoir renaît à Focus Congo village où plusieurs familles déplacés de guerres sont réfugiées , là où la guerre n’a laissé derrière elle que des blessures et des ravages.
Dans ce contexte difficile, les femmes, par leur résilience et leur courage remarquables, continuent d’incarner une source d’espérance. Même au cœur des turbulences et de l’incertitude, elles rappellent que la vie, la solidarité et la dignité peuvent toujours triompher de l’adversité.
Leur force silencieuse est un message puissant : malgré les épreuves, l’avenir peut encore se reconstruire.
C’est pourquoi l’instauration d’une paix durable pour nos populations ne doit pas être un simple souhait, mais une exigence ultime et collective. Elle constitue la condition indispensable pour permettre à nos communautés de guérir, de se relever et de bâtir un avenir plus juste et plus stable.

DRC blames Rwanda for cobalt mine collapse that killed 200+ people in M23/AFC-controlled Rubaya. CNN has asked Kigali for comment.

"Mainly artisanal diggers, forced to carry out intense work due to the wild & illegal exploitation of Congolese natural resources by Rwanda/M23"

CONGO CRISIS NEEDS MORE ATTENTION

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) isn’t just suffering from a crisis, it’s enduring a Western-backed resource war. Yet, the world looks away.

As our guest, Pappy Orion from Focus Congo (@focuscongo on IG, @focuscongo_drc on X) explained in this clip, the conflict is not getting the attention it deserves.

@pappyorion (IG and X) said preconceived notions dehumanising Africans and the mistaken perception that it is only an African affair have helped to obscure the true nature of the three-decade-long, Western-backed proxy war over minerals that had k*lled over 6 million people by 2010. However, minerals extracted from Congo power modern technology, including smartphones, electric cars and aeroplanes used worldwide.

One of the proxies involved is the Rwanda- and Uganda-backed M23 militia, which generates $800,000 from taxing mining in just one town, Rubaya. Meanwhile, DRC’s government reports losing $1 billion annually in resource theft to Rwanda alone. The beneficiaries of minerals like cobalt are the world’s biggest corporations, including Apple, Dell, Microsoft and Tesla.

As of 2024, the ongoing violence had internally displaced more than 7 million Congolese.

As Pan-Africanist Ghanaian leader Kwame Nkrumah (1909-72) said, ‘If we allow the independence of the Congo to be compromised in any way by the imperialist and capitalist forces, we shall expose the sovereignty and independence of all Africa to grave risk. The struggle of the Congo is therefore our struggle.’

#Bukavu : Je compatis avec la population de Bukavu de suite de l’incendie qui ravage en ce moment le quartier Nyamugo dans la commune de Kadudu .
Ces incendies deviennent récurrents dans la ville de Bukavu et il est plus qu’urgent de trouver une solution durable. Plusieurs zones sont impropres à l’habitation et les autorités doivent avoir le courage d’apporter une solution durable par une délocalisation progressive des populations.
