Since the Congo genocide is reoccurring again, I’ll give you a brief summary on what’s been happening for the past year. The president Joseph Kabila who is of Rwandan took over the country after his adoptive father passed away. Not only was this man

A dictator, killing innocent civilians, he was also stealing money from the country to help power some of Rwanda’s economy and make his family wealthy. In 2018 he stepped down and a presidential election occurred which was extremely biased

It let Félix Tshisekedi win, that took a deal with Joseph Kabila. This current president and his party have been stealing money from the economy to enrich themselves. They’re all getting “convicted”, but we all know that justice system is being paid off

To add on Malita groups from Rwanda have been taking over the east and making it their own territory. The incompetence of the president is allowing a genocide to happen. The east is ran by the Hutu who fled Rwanda after the genocide.

Lastly the current president killed and his mother killed his own father so he could have a chance to run for president. They got bought out by the older president.

Joseph Kabila also continuously committed a mass genocide towards the Congolese people while he was in power. He still is in power behind the scenes because he was pardon by the current president for his Treacherous acts. That’s when everyone knew he was bought out

If you have an IPhone or use makeup you should care about the Congo genocide because the minerals used in your phone come from there. Furthermore the people being killed in the east are the miners. Without them you wouldn’t have an IPhone or makeup

Even though it’s unethically mined, they deserve better, we have to hold big corporations accountable in this because they’re the ones that tend to pay these Malitas’ to keep the people “in line”
