刚果民主共和国前总统约瑟夫·卡比拉组建了一支包含卢旺达支持武装力量的新反叛运动，尽管美国对他实施制裁，他仍公开掌控这一叛乱势力。
DR Congo’s former President Joseph Kabila has formed a new rebel movement incorporating Rwanda-backed forces, openly taking charge of the insurgency despite US sanctions against him.
此举加深了总统费利克斯·齐塞克迪政府面临的政治和安全威胁，也挑战了华盛顿结束战斗并确保获取该国关键矿产的努力。
The move deepens the political and security threat to President Félix Tshisekedi’s government and challenges Washington’s efforts to end fighting and secure access to the country’s critical minerals.
联合国专家6月报告称，卡比拉日益突出的地位似乎意在掩盖卢旺达的角色，将叛乱描绘成一场解决国家问题的刚果人运动。卢旺达已承认与“M23”叛乱分子进行防御性“安全协调”，后者已占据矿产丰富的刚果（金）东部大片地区一年有余。美国对叛乱领导人和卢旺达军方的制裁、华盛顿斡旋达成的和平协议以及卡塔尔调解的会谈，迄今都未能结束战斗。
UN experts reported in June that Kabila’s growing prominence appeared intended to obscure Rwanda’s role by portraying the rebellion as a Congolese movement addressing a national problem. Rwanda has acknowledged defensive “security coordination” with the M23 insurgents, who have held large swaths of mineral-rich eastern DR Congo for more than a year. US sanctions against rebel leaders and Rwanda’s military, a Washington-brokered peace deal, and talks mediated by Qatar have so far failed to end the fighting.
不安全局势使刚果（金）难以实现其期望——从数字基础设施和能源转型所需的铜、钶钽铁矿和钴需求上升中获利。华盛顿将其和平努力与削弱中国对这个全球最大钴生产国采矿业掌控的企图相配合。
Insecurity has complicated DR Congo’s hopes of profiting from rising demand for copper, coltan, and cobalt used in digital infrastructure and the energy transition. Washington has paired its peace efforts with a bid to loosen China’s grip on mining in the world’s largest cobalt producer.
