I don't know, but in my opinion the only reason why this is "news", is because DRC has a lot of natural resources, especially battery minerals.

LOL. "This isn't even a white person country, why is this news?!"

Why shouldn't this be news in your eyes?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think I worded it a bit wrong. It is news, but our (western) media tends to not report on African (or anything considered third world)) countries. Unless there is sometthing in it for the west. Like, are there natural resources available, which is the case here. So it is news, but tends to be ignored by our media.

This way of thinking won't get you anywhere in Africa. Sometimes the "bad guys", as much as it makes sense to use that term, are Western-supported, sometimes no European country is even involved and sometimes Russia supports both sides, or supports one side and Wagner supports the other.
