ABC News Discovers War in Congo, Attributes it to 'Peace Deal'
ABC News reports on 'renewed fighting' in eastern Congo, presenting it as a fresh threat to a Trump-brokered peace deal. The corporate media narrative conveniently glosses over Congo's brutal colonial past and the continuous plundering of its vast mineral wealth—cobalt, coltan, diamonds—by Western corporations and their proxies. The 'peace deal' is a flimsy curtain over a perpetual resource war,
meticulously coordinated to maintain a chaotic extraction economy. Calling a deal brokered by a president whose administration also greenlit significant weapon sales to regional actors a 'historic peace deal' (ABC News) is a tragic joke. It's not renewed fighting; it's the predictable, blood-soaked continuation of a system designed to keep the Democratic Republic of Congo fractured and its
resources cheap for global exploiters. Perhaps if Trump had brokered a deal to return the stolen minerals, it would genuinely threaten the status quo. Instead, we get crocodile tears over 'peace' in a region kept perpetually ablaze for profit.
