Mu myaka ishize, iyi sosiyete yagiye igaragaza ubushake bwo kongera uruhare rwayo mu kugurisha umusaruro ukomoka ku mishinga y’ubucukuzi ifitemo imigabane.
Kuba Leta ifite imigabane mu kirombe ntibihita bivuga ko igenzura uburyo umusaruro wacyo wose ugurishwa. Ni yo mpamvu uburenganzira bwo kugurisha igice cy’umusaruro, gushaka abaguzi no kuganira ku biciro bishobora kugira uruhare rukomeye mu nyungu igihugu gikura mu mutungo kamere wacyo.

Icyakora, izi ni inyungu zishoboka zishingiye ku miterere y’ubufatanye bw’ubucuruzi. Ntabwo bivuze ko amasezerano ateganyijwe hagati ya Vitol na Gécamines azahita azigeraho zose.
Gécamines yari yatangiye izindi gahunda zo kugurisha umuringa wayo
Amasezerano ateganyijwe na Vitol aje mu gihe Gécamines yari isanzwe ifite gahunda yo kwagura ubucuruzi bw’umuringa, cobalt n’andi mabuye y’agaciro.
Ku itariki ya 05/12/2025, Gécamines na Mercuria Energy Trading batangaje ubufatanye bugamije kunoza ubucuruzi bw’umuringa, cobalt n’andi mabuye y’agaciro akomoka muri RDC.

Ese aya masezerano azahindura iki ku bukungu bwa RDC?
Igisubizo kizaterwa n’ibizaba bikubiye mu masezerano, uburyo azashyirwa mu bikorwa n’inyungu RDC izabasha kuyakuramo.

Ariko gukorana n’ikigo mpuzamahanga gikomeye ntibihita byemeza ko igihugu kizabona inyungu nyinshi. Ibyo bizasaba ko amasezerano ategurwa neza, agenzurwa mu buryo buboneye kandi akazana umusaruro ugaragara mu bucuruzi.
Haracyakenewe kumenya uko amafaranga azinjira azacungwa, urugero rw’uruhare rwa Gécamines, ibiciro bizakoreshwa n’uburyo abaturage ba RDC bazungukira muri ubwo bucuruzi.
Ibi ni byo bizafasha kumenya niba amasezerano azaba intambwe igana ku micungire inoze y’umutungo kamere cyangwa azaba gusa ubundi bufatanye mu bucuruzi bw’umuringa.
Amakuru avuga ko Vitol, iyobowe na Russell Hardy, iri hafi gushimangira ubufatanye na Gécamines agaragaza ko ubucuruzi bw’umuringa wa RDC bukomeje gukurura ibigo mpuzamahanga.
Ku ruhande rwa Leta ya Congo, intego ni ukongera uruhare rwayo mu kugurisha umusaruro w’amabuye y’agaciro no kubona inyungu zifatika mu mutungo kamere w’igihugu.
Icyakora, amaso azaba ahanzwe ku masezerano ateganyijwe: ibikubiyemo, agaciro kayo, ingano y’umuringa azareba n’inyungu RDC izayakuramo. Ibyo ni byo bizagaragaza niba ubwo bufatanye buzazana impinduka ifatika mu bucuruzi bw’umuringa wa Congo.
