🇨🇩🇷🇼🇦🇪⚡- "The United Arab Emirates (UAE) possibility transported military equipment to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in late June.

The UAE’s military assistance to the DRC is part of its broader strategy to protect and expand its growing financial interests in the DRC under a US economic umbrella.

The UAE has signed several mining deals with the DRC since the United States became involved in regional peace efforts in mid-2025. The latest US sanctions on Rwanda could further incentivize the UAE to prioritize its efforts to reestablish a gold pipeline from the DRC over Rwandan gold exports.

Future Congolese efforts to regain control of Bukavu, the M23-controlled South Kivu provincial capital, through military action or the US-backed peace process would further strengthen the DRC-UAE economic partnership.

Bukavu [M23-controlled DRC] has been a trading and transport hub for high-value minerals for decades," - Critical Threats.
