According to the U.N.H.C.R, in the Democratic Republic of Congo are counted 5.6 million of internal refugees. Around 130 armed groups and militias currently plague the eastern regions, which are very rich in minerals, perpetuating a constant state of insecurity.In the midst of all armed group, stands out the A.D.F. a jihadist group that aims to establish a Caliphate, but analysts and public opinion widely agree that the true goal of the Salafists is to exploit Congo's resources.This led President Tshisekedi to declare “état de siège”, temporarily suspending constitutional laws and transferring civil powers to military authority in Kivu and Ituri.Yet, violence persists, with civilians suffering amid a tightening grip between an overpowering army and ferocious rebel groups. The failed strategy is evident in the M23 rebels nearly reconquer the North Kivu capital Goma.It is crucial to emphasize that 'rare earths,' of which the Congo is one of the richest countries in the world, are essential for the production of technologies related to Western policies on energy transition, such as electric vehicle batteries. Moreover, these minerals are fundamental components of smartphones andsemiconductors, whose demand is increasing exponentially with the advancement of artificial intelligence by Industrialized Countries.This indiscriminate exploitation, which cyclically traces its roots back to when King Leopold II of Belgium made it his personal colony has serious repercussions on an already exhaustedpopulation, and it is no secret that it is carried out systematically by superpowers, fueling ethnic hatred rooted in a colonial legacy. In summary, these tensions contribute to keeping the country unstable, which, based on a presupposition of causality, leads to the disintegration of the Congolese people and facilitates theexploitation of their country.
