13 Million Dead: Allegations of Conflict and Greed in the DRC

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has endured a devastating conflict resulting in an estimated 13 million deaths, according to a recent interview. The interviewee, whose identity is not fully revealed, alleges that former President Joseph Kabila's 18-year tenure was marked by conflict and that he played a direct role in the violence. "Joseph Kabila, you were the president of the DRC for 18 years. You were fighting the M23, calling them rebels, killers," the interviewee stated. The interviewee further claims that Kabila's actions were motivated by the DRC's vast mineral wealth, implying that the conflict is fueled by greed and the desire to control these resources. These allegations require further investigation and verification from independent sources. The interview highlights the complexity of the conflict and the urgent need for a comprehensive understanding of its causes and consequences.
