But Goma is now under M23 control and that plan has been put on hold. M23 controls tracts of mineral-rich territory.</p><p>"A source close to the Congolese government told Reuters an initial deployment of Prince's advisers was expected to start in the south, far from the area controlled by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/M23" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>M23</span></a> and its allies.</p><p>" 'If you just look at Katanga, if you look at Kolwezi down just off the Zambian-Congo border, they claim that there's like $40 million a month in lost revenue of what's going out and what's coming in,' the source said.</p><p>"A diplomatic source also told Reuters the first stage of Prince's effort in Congo would focus on securing mines and tax revenues in copper-producing Katanga province.</p><p>"One of the sources close to Prince said advisers were expected to deploy with technical experts from a company specialised in testing and inspecting commodities. The advisers would initially target larger mines and expand as revenue collection improved.</p><p>"The source did not provide details on how the advisers would tackle corruption in the sector that has long drained revenue that would otherwise flow to the state.</p><p>"A source in the office of Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi said an agreement in principle had been signed with Prince, but the details on where and how many advisers would be deployed remained to be established."</p><p><a href="https://www.aol.com/news/exclusive-trump-supporter-prince-reaches-142935924.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aol.com/news/exclusive-trump-s</span><span class="invisible">upporter-prince-reaches-142935924.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ErikPrinceColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ErikPrinceColonialism</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PrivateArmy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrivateArmy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Academi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Academi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ErikPrinceIsAWarCriminal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ErikPrinceIsAWarCriminal</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TripleCanopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TripleCanopy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OffLeash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OffLeash</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProjectVeritas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProjectVeritas</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Project2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Project2025</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TigerSwan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TigerSwan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Colonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pollution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Corruption</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CopperMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CopperMining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MiningPollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MiningPollution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a></p>
