As tensions rise due to Rwanda’s support of the M23 rebel group in eastern DRC, this piece argues that holding Rwanda accountable is not only a matter of regional stability—but also a strategic opportunity for the U.S. to engage directly with the DRC on securing ethically sourced critical minerals like cobalt and copper.

With the DRC holding over 70% of the world’s cobalt reserves—essential for EVs, defence tech, and the clean energy transition—the time has come to rethink alliances and prioritise stability, transparency, and sustainability in supply chains.
