More than 60 Congolese NGOs encourage American mining companies to set up in the country
More than 60 Congolese NGOs encouraged, on Wednesday August 10, American mining companies to come and settle in the country in order to create jobs there.
Their request is contained in a joint declaration addressed, the same day, to the American Secretary of State, Antony Blinken who completed his two-day trip to the DRC.
“Our organizations expect the US government to encourage US companies interested in cobalt, cassiterite, coltan, manganese, copper, timber, petroleum and other natural resources to come and negotiate with the Congolese government and set up in the provinces of Grand-Kivu and those of Grand-Katanga in order to obtain supplies at the source from Congolese companies, by creating added value before their export”, declared the rapporteur of these civil society structures, Franck Mfwamba.
These NGOs also said they expected concrete actions from the American government in favor of the DRC and its population within the framework of “the privileged partnership for peace and progress”.
For these citizen organizations, this will promote the restoration of stability in the DRC in all its forms.
They also recommended that Washington discourage insecurity and the plundering of the DRC's natural resources.
Among these Congolese NGOs, there are among others, the League of Electors, ACAJ, ASADHO, LICOCO.
