⚠️ USA – DR CONGO DEAL: THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTIONS, THE AMERICANS ARE DETERMINED, KAGAME HAS NO MORE CARDS IN HAND While Congolese opinion is often confused by the multitude of information circulating around the strategic partnership between the Democratic Republic of Congo and the United States, it is time to provide clarity.Last Tuesday, a crucial meeting was held between high-level American representatives and Congolese stakeholders eager to understand the contours of this partnership. Present were: the American lobbyist @batten_von , president of the Africa-US Business Council, a senior representative of Kobold Metals, as well as a member of the American Congress.Here are the answers to the main questions raised during this meeting:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️--------------1. How can we summarize the deal between the DRC and the USA? Answer: This partnership is based on four major pillars: Political stability Safety and security Strategic infrastructures Total transparency in governance⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️--------------2. Is Rwanda involved in this partnership? Answer: No. The deal is exclusively between the DRC and the United States. Rwanda is only affected by separate peace agreements. Any Rwandan involvement would be governed by those agreements only, and would not affect the investments and commitments of the US-DRC deal.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️--------------3. What is the United States doing to prevent corruption in this partnership? Answer: President Tshisekedi @fatshi13 acknowledged in a video conference the challenges linked to corruption and expressed his commitment to putting an end to it.This has affected many members of the US Congress. Strict mechanisms have been put in place to ensure that no politician, not even a member of the presidential family, can interfere in the management of funds and projects. Transparency is non-negotiable.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️--------------4. Will Congolese minerals be exported raw? Answer: No. President Tshisekedi proposed that minerals be refined locally to create jobs and strengthen the national economy. This proposal was accepted: refineries will be installed in the DRC.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️--------------5. What does the United States plan to do to strengthen security? Answer: The United States is considering establishing strategic bases in the DRC.However, no American troops will be deployed. Only instructors, specialists, and military advisors will accompany the Congolese army to strengthen its capabilities.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️--------------6. What will happen if Kagame signs peace and later retracts? Answer: Peace is the essential condition for the implementation of the deal. If Kagame violates the agreements after signing, he would face severe and immediate sanctions, on a scale never before seen against Rwanda. Within 24 hours, his regime would be paralyzed.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️--------------7. What do you think of Joseph Kabila's return to Goma? Answer: This act raises serious concerns. Kabila's movements are being closely monitored. His dossier will be submitted to the US Congress next week. The United States remains vigilant against any attempts at internal destabilization.But for the USA, his trip to GOMA is an internal problem⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️--------------8. Is this partnership sustainable? Answer: This is a long-term partnership, designed to benefit future generations – both in the DRC and in the United States.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️--------------9. Can this partnership be described as the “deal of the century”? Answer: Yes. It will mobilize billions of dollars of investment in infrastructure, security, and technology. The U.S. Exim Bank is ready to guarantee credit for American companies wishing to invest in the DRC.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️--------------10. What place for Congolese in American companies? Answer: 90% of employees of American companies established in the DRC will be Congolese, as was the case in Zambia. Only 10% will be American personnel.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️--------------11. Will Congolese people be able to buy shares in these companies? Answer: Yes. Shares will be reserved and sold exclusively to Congolese people. In addition, American companies will collaborate with Congolese companies registered with the ARSP for all third-party services.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️--------------IN CONCLUSIONThe DRC needs the United States, just as the United States needs the Congo.This partnership represents a strategic turning point for Central Africa. Kagame no longer has any room for maneuver. The new global dynamic places Congo at the center of geopolitical and economic issues.@Neves7bobe @MuzindusiA @afrikapromotion @AbouPatriote @AngelKazadi @AndyBemba @Libengeg @aduladavid89 @SamAdubango20 @jobert_bwanga @jackkandara @thabonujoma @JudaRdc @kamba82 @kambap @MakoloKitenge1 @Kamanda_Analyse @Salynesmile @MusasMarck @HosannaNdombasi @Jacksonhinkle_ @HonoreMvula1 @Nyamuhombeza @garciamelchise1 @MpindaKRichard @kazadi_peter @DadanSauveur @michombero @DRDARIL1 @BenitaNtumba @Rwanda64773B @dan1410 @ProDanielSamba
