The DRC-US Agreement will aim to sovereignly develop our strategic minerals, particularly copper, cobalt, and lithium..."
"The Congo of today is no longer one of fatalism and helplessness," declared President Félix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo on Monday, June 30, 2025, during his speech celebrating the 65th anniversary of the independence of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
According to Félix Antoine Tshisekedi, the DRC is ready to establish strategic, reliable, transparent, and, above all, win-win partnerships that will benefit the Congolese people.
"To our partners in the United States, China, Europe, the Gulf States, the African continent, and the entire world, I solemnly say: the Democratic Republic of the Congo is back and ready to forge strategic, reliable, transparent, and, above all, win-win partnerships.
The resources of the Democratic Republic of the Congo will never be sold off or handed over to obscure interests. These resources will benefit the Congolese people.
According to the President of the Republic, the agreement to be signed with the United States of America will aim to sovereignly develop strategic minerals, particularly copper, cobalt, and lithium.
"This renewed confidence will soon translate into the signing of a strategic and unprecedented agreement with the United States of America in the mining sector.
This agreement will mark a decisive step in positioning the DRC as a central player in the global energy transition and the emerging green economy.
It paves the way for local processing, the creation of thousands of jobs, and a new economic model based on sovereignty and national added value," stated the President of the Republic.
Bold Reforms Undertaken
During his second term, Félix Tshisekedi announced that he had initiated several judicial and economic reforms.
"This vision, which I share with you and for you, informs each of our decisions and underpins the bold reforms we are pursuing in a spirit of renewal and assertive sovereignty.
Alongside the government, I have initiated a series of economic, judicial, and institutional reforms aimed at establishing a true rule of law, eradicating corruption, and creating a business climate conducive to investment and initiative."
Meeting between Tshisekedi and Martin Fayulu: an important step
For the President of the Republic, his meeting with Martin Fayulu, one of the opposition leaders, demonstrates a shared desire to place the nation's best interests above partisan quarrels.
It marks an important step towards a policy of reconciliation, mutual listening, and reciprocal respect.

Yup Cypress got also a honorary mention in the Panama Papers and they do accept number accounts, but it is all above board.
Hopefully they are better than that bank in Kinshasa, which just loses US$20 million, without the blink of one eye, or an entire army of eyes.

Isn't Iggy Bliss a DerGeist nom de plume? I always thought it was.
Anyway folks, I'm off overseas for a month to escape this cold. So no Friday Funnies from me for a while. If I can I will but it's up to the usual suspects to cover that one.
Don't be naughty. Keep it clean. I'll see you when I get back.
Spike out.

19 minutes of pure comedic hyperbole.
All while, as was reported back in February:
"Switzerland's largest bank freezes Tshisekedi family funds estimated at $8 billion, but experts suspect some of the fortune is in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The funds blocked in Switzerland are suspected of being linked to opaque transactions and the misappropriation of natural resources, particularly in the mining sector, which represents a significant part of the Congolese economy."
https://vacradiointernational.com/2...fortune-se-trouve-au-qatar-et-aux-emirats-ar/
That figure is more than 10% of the estimated 2025 GDP of the DRC...
Those funds might have contributed somewhat in helping to build the "modern, safe and respected Congo" he heralds in the video.

I hope the Fat Fuck can keep his head above water to get these mineral deals signed...hope all the truths of his rampant abuse of public funds would not become mainstream until the deal between the yanks is sealed..

Within the last couple of weeks someone posted a link to an article of how corruption is a way of life, and “expected” amongst DRC high ranking officials.
Can anyone remember it and re-post it so I can add to my links. I’m sure the United States along with everyone else is sick of the corruption and lies continuing, including this bullshit from less than a month ago

The President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Félix Tshisekedi, has set up a special coordination of experts responsible for leading discussions with the American administration as part of the strategic partnership "minerals against military support". This deal, crucial for Kinshasa, aims to strengthen the country's security capabilities in the face of armed conflicts in the East, and to structure relations with Washington within the framework of the peace agreement under the aegis of the United States with Rwanda.
Mixed coordination to structure a strategic partnership
This coordination's mission is to formalize and accelerate negotiations on this mining and security partnership. It consists of three personalities from the President's office, including two ministers:
Thérèse Kayikwamba Wagner, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs;
Kizito Pakabomba Kapinga Mulume, Minister of Mines
as well as Guy-Robert Lukama Nkunzi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gécamines SA, the largest public mining company in the DRC.
Legal expertise integrated into the process
Coordination is also strengthened by high-level legal experts, including Me Pascal Agboyibor, associate lawyer at ASAFO & CO, recognized for his expertise in the energy, mining, infrastructure and project development sectors in Africa.
A technical secretariat, supported by a group of 22 experts, will support this team. Their role will be to produce regular reports on the progress of the negotiations, as well as on the results of the implementation of the agreement.
Cominière SA (public company in the mining sector) and the Mining Cadastre are among these technical experts.
For Kinshasa, this step is strategic. The aim is to accelerate discussions and support the concrete implementation of the DRC-USA partnership.
This coordination reinforces the actions already undertaken by the presidency, which relies in particular on the services of the American lobbying firm Von Batten-Montague-York. This firm acts as an intermediary between the Congolese authorities and the American administration, including that of Donald Trump, in order to advance the diplomatic process.
A strategic agreement, but under conditions
The agreement long awaited by Kinshasa aims to stabilize the conflict regions, while enhancing the country's strategic natural resources. But for it to bear fruit, several conditions must be met:

Here's the English translation of the press release:
PRESS RELEASE N° 18 OF JUNE 30, 2025.
The Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo inform national and international opinion of the interception, this Monday, June 30, 2025, by our military radars, of an unidentified aircraft that violated our airspace and illegally penetrated Congolese territory without prior overflight authorization. The aircraft was heading towards an active conflict zone.
After the usual verifications, it was found that this aircraft bore no registration allowing its identification. This constitutes a flagrant violation of international civil aviation standards.
The competent authorities have been seized, and the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo have taken appropriate measures to guarantee the security of our airspace and preserve the integrity of our territory."

From the Reuters article:
“A source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday that another agreement on the framework would be signed by the heads of state at a separate White House event at an unspecified time”
@Rechnerhand
Could Reuters reference to a meeting at the White House at “an unspecified time” (above) by the heads of State be the same meeting mentioned by Africa Intelligence in their article below that you posted which mentions a meeting to be held in late July at the White House.
“ The ceremony sealing the deal will precede a meeting scheduled for late July at the White House between Presidents Félix Tshisekedi and Paul Kagame.”
From the Bloomberg article 1 July :
“Congo is also nearing a separate strategic minerals deal with the US focused on the country’s world-class deposits of copper, cobalt and lithium, which are south of the conflict zone, President Felix Tshisekedisaid in a nationally broadcast independence day speech on Monday.”

This is a replayed stream of last year's UFO/UAP hearing. There was also one in 2023 where an intelligence official (David Grusch) testified under oath that the US is in possession of recovered craft and biologics of non-human origin. Reportedly there's another hearing being planned for the near future.
This was alongside legislation that passed in the Senate that outlines public disclosure of UAP information: https://www.congress.gov/118/crec/2024/07/11/170/115/CREC-2024-07-11-pt1-PgS4943.pdf
Typing the term "non-human" in word finder in this document highlights some interesting sections.
I would like this saga to be over before this story blows up in any way lol
