The Washington Accords: A Disguised Strategy for Exploiting Congolese Minerals for the Benefit of Rwanda and the United States

For over two decades, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been at the heart of an economic and geopolitical war linked to its immense natural resources. The provinces of North and South Kivu, rich in coltan, gold, cobalt, cassiterite, and other strategic minerals, have become the theater of a conflict that extends far beyond national borders.

Behind the official rhetoric of peace and regional integration lie colossal economic interests. The recent Washington Accords between Rwanda and the DRC, as well as the regional economic integration project supervised by the United States, fit into this logic. In reality, they constitute a diplomatically crafted instrument designed to legitimize and institutionalize the exploitation of Congolese minerals by Rwanda, for the benefit of foreign powers, primarily the United States.
