👀Trust, But Verify 🔥 While some wage war and others dig the earth with their hands, the most privileged class in the Congo—mining companies—face their own calamity: over the past year, insurance costs for them have skyrocketed tenfold due to the ongoing conflict. According to Reuters, after the AFC/M23 offensive intensified in early 2025, premiums for political violence insurance paid by mining companies surged 5 to 10 times, even though most of them operate far from the conflict zone and have never faced the threat of a direct attack. 📊 The same sources report that the insurance market stabilized after a year, with prices returning to pre-crisis levels by January 2026. This spike in insurance costs reveals what no one will admit publicly: a huge crisis of confidence in Kinshasa’s ability to keep the situation in the country under control, which swept over foreign companies in 2025. ➡️ Stay informed - @devilsbelow
