“It shouldn’t be a problem if we processed minerals from anywhere. If you looked at all mineral trading countries, especially developed economies… they don’t have minerals but they profit from them more than everyone else does.” President Kagame on claims that Rwanda processes minerals from DR Congo.

“Was it a problem of minerals in 1994? Which minerals were we fighting for here? If it were to be about minerals, how many are actually fighting for these minerals in those places? Assuming you found evidence about Rwanda being implicated in what is happening in Congo for minerals. Are you really saying it is just Rwanda? Why don't you be brave enough to say Rwanda is invading our territory we have created for ourselves and is encroaching on the minerals we are also encroaching on, in eastern Congo? Why don't you be brave enough to admit that? If these allegations were true, Rwanda would be as rich as those who make the accusations. We would not be needing your money at all. Which, you give us nothing and you come and beat us up for everything. That is the war between the dark past and the cruel present.” President Kagame | #Kwibuka31

Mantashe suggests withholding minerals from US in response to funding cuts In response to US President Donald Trump's decision to cut funding to South Africa, Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe suggested that the country should consider using its mineral resources as leverage. He stated, "If they don't provide us with money, we should stop supplying them with minerals."

“They looted the minerals better than anybody in history. They sell minerals in Antwerp, diamonds. Do they produce diamonds? Or they have gold, bullions they took long ago and are adding more? Do they have gold mines, these Europeans? They may even say the gold or the diamonds are brought by legitimate people. Would you believe that? When they are there, they are the legitimate ones. It is only Rwanda picked on about minerals, simply because the audience in Europe will listen more to these accusations, whether what they are saying is happening or not.” President Kagame

🚨🇷🇼EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT KAGAME: A TRUMP-STYLE DEAL FOR CONGO? President Trump said, ‘I'll protect Ukraine and help secure peace in a way that favors you—but in return, I want access to your minerals.’ Couldn't the Congolese government do something similar? Go to Europe, the U.S., Rwanda, and other involved countries and say: Let’s make a deal. M23 lays down their arms, we remove the FDLR from the border, and in return, we negotiate business deals over the minerals in Eastern Congo. Source: Paul Kagame

“Do they have to beg them [to deal with FDLR)? In other words they [the international community] are telling Congo, solve that problem if you want but if you don’t want we are still with you. Shall we react to that in a manner we think fit to resolve that? There is no question about it.” - President Kagame on DRC refusal to address the issue of FDLR.

People that blame Rwanda for telling its own story, if it wasn't a story like this, imagine how a Congolese, who believe Rwanda has no minerals, would ever know the truth behind his ignorance. To come back to PK's statement about geographical mineral distribution in the Great Lakes region, how would Rwanda be cut-out from areas endowed with minerals when it shares the same topographical features. I thank Le journal Afrique TV5MONDE for this reporting. It is in our hope that they will continue to do so, because lately they have been extremely biased.

Venezuela was to diversify away from Canada for the oil. Greenland is to diversify away from China for critical earth minerals. Stocks will crash on Tuesday. The EU is taking a coordinated stance against the US attempt to annex Greenland. Trump says it’s for security. But the US wants it for critical earth minerals. Trump tried to tariff China 100% & they blocked all critical minerals exports to the US. The US needs these minerals for military & AI. Without them, they lose their dominance. So the US backed down on the 100% tariffs. Currently, China controls roughly 90% of the world's rare earth minerals. Greenland, has a vast amount of critical earth mineral deposits throughout the country. Trump is using economic force, to annex Greenland, for the resource needs of the US.

Trump: "They want us to go to batteries! Let's go to batteries! We don't have battery content. So let's go to batteries according to these morons that were in our country. Let's not use oil and gas which we have more than any country in the world. Let's go to batteries where we have to go to the Congo and get it from China. But I actually stopped the war with Congo and Rwanda and they said to me, 'please, please, we would love you to come and take our minerals.' Which we'll do."

“They claim we are in Congo looking for minerals. That this is what causes our problems with Congo. They say our country, Rwanda is small and that we want to go into Congo to expand it. But they try to avoid the real issue, which they also know, and in which they themselves are involved, concerning the Interahamwe militia who are in Congo. The Interahamwe were settled there. The Interahamwe were armed, both those who were already there and new ones, some were integrated into the Congolese army, while others operate alongside it. How does the world expect us to behave? Just listen to them and do whatever they ask us to do, even if it is leading to our own destruction?” President Kagame | #Umushyikirano2026

[Q]: Mr. Orbán has requested an exemption as it relates to oil that is coming from Russia. Is that something that you are prepared to do? President Trump: We're looking at it because it's very difficult for him to get the oil and gas from other areas. As you know, they don't have the advantage of having sea. It's a great country. It's a big country, but they don't have sea. They don't have the ports. And so they have a difficult problem. But when you look at what's happened with Europe, many of those countries, they don't have those problems. And they buy a lot of oil and gas from Russia. And as they know, I'm very disturbed by that because we're helping them and they're going and buying oil and gas from Russia. So that question could be really asked maybe more accurately if you talked about many European countries, not Hungary necessarily, because Hungary is in a different position. But many European countries are buying oil and gas from Russia. And they have been for years.
