💨 Abstract

The article discusses the historical and ongoing violence and exploitation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), particularly focusing on the colonization by King Leopold II of Belgium, which resulted in the death of an estimated 10 million Africans. The DRC is rich in strategic minerals like cobalt, tantalum, and coltan, which are critical for the global economy, particularly for the production of batteries and electric vehicles.
