"The Democratic Republic of Congo will create a paramilitary unit to police its mines with funding from the US and the United Arab Emirates, the country’s General Inspectorate of Mines said. The force will secure production, ensure traceable transport of minerals, and replace “defense forces currently deployed in mining zones,” according to the statement. (...) The guards will begin work in the southeastern copper-and-cobalt-rich Katanga region, which also has large deposits of zinc, lithium, gold, tin ore and tantalum ore, the IGM said." Wake up babe, the US is funding a new slave patrol force. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-04-27/congo-plans-paramilitary-unit-for-mines-with-us-uae-funding#
