According to public data on US foreign assistance, the USAID allocated $1.34 billion to the DRC in 2024 out of a total of $35.4 billion. In January, the M23 armed group launched a new offensive in eastern DRC, taking control of the Goma city in the North Kivu province.

record funding for the DRC, is a real sponsor of violence in the country's east, coordinator of the Panafrican Emergency Movement in the DRC
Fortifi Lushima told
Sputnik Africa."We know how the US imperialists work. Everyone knows that the Americans are actively involved in what is happening in [North] Kivu; it is an open secret," Lushima emphasized.
The West's strategy is the one "of a fireman pyromaniac," the Pan-Africanist explained.
The US strategy "is to plunder Congo's minerals with the support of
Paul Kagame's Rwandan army," he added.
According to the
latest figures from a US government website on foreign aid, most of the funds allocated in 2024, $868.7 million, were spent on humanitarian assistance.
