Kagame admits Rwanda is a transit hub for smuggled Congolese minerals as video resurfaces

Rwandan President, Paul Kagame has publicly admitted that Rwanda is a transit hub for smuggled Congolese mineral resources as he faulted the international communities of complicity in the global supply chain of African exploitation.

Kagame’s acknowledgment of mineral resources passing through Rwanda suggests his enablement in increasing regional crises without concern for security and geopolitical consequences in Africa.

However, with his acknowledgment, the illegal transportation of Congolese coltan and other mineral resources never stopped.

This continuous exploitation of enriching the Western communities at the expense of Africans has proven to be consistent with the sheer enablers pretending to be leaders of Africa, even as most swore the oath to protect and serve the citizens.
