President Trump's Africa envoy Massad Boulos has finished a tour of several East African nations, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he discussed a peace deal that could involve the U.S. tapping the country's rich mineral resources, including cobalt and lithium. Several Western mining companies are already reportedly lined up to take part in the U.S.-backed mineral resources partnership. "These people are among the poorest in the world," says Jan Egeland, secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council.

I hope the U.S. will really make sure there is an equitable deal, but that can really only happen if there is a peace agreement."
