Paige McLoughlin’s Reviews > Congo: The Epic History of a People > Status Update

Mobutu wasn't as horrible from 1965 to 1975. Gee, I wonder if the austerity policies of the seventies and eighties made things go from bad to worse in the developing world.

I forgot that Uranium was a key resource during the Cold War, which is why the US got involved in Congo after independence. So whether rubber in the 1890s, Uranium in the 1960s, and rare earths like Coltan in the 2020s.

Just started.
