DRC is set for another dose as a global laughingstock following its so-called lawsuit against Apple Inc. of California. The Ndombolo “lawsuit” claims Apple is “gaining from exploitation of illegal and bloody minerals in Eastern DRC.”
It’s a Ndombolo lawsuit because it has only hot words from Kinshasa to back it up.
Through a communique of the Zairois Justice Ministry (imagine that, the other hate-inciting thug Mutamba supposedly putting together a coherent lawsuit!) the Kinshasa regime has stated that it has filed two complaints: one with the Public Prosecutor’s Office in Paris, France, and the other, as a civil party, with ‘investigating judge in Brussels’ against the French and Belgian subsidiaries of the American company Apple.
The true goal of the Tshisekedi regime of course is to extort money from Apple.
The allegation against the tech giant, according to the Zairois communique, is that Apple ‘procures minerals in conflict areas, which according to the allegation is that they’re illegally extracted and “traded in the eastern provinces through Rwanda.”
Ah, ndombolo fellars, when can you ever get the word “Rwanda” out of your mouths?
Seriously, this obsession with dragging Rwanda into the mud is an insanity that the world’s best specialists in mental disorders ought to study in detail!
Apple Incorporation has long stated that all its production units and assembling plants across the globe stopped using minerals from DRC, or their neighboring countries.
But when has objective reality ever served to stop Tshisekedi regime fat cats babbling out slanders against anyone they please?
Tshisekedi the uncouth thug smells a concocted opportunity to try to extort cash out of apple, with the threat of tarnishing its reputation. He no doubt thinks the tech behemoth will shell out a few hundred million, as “hush money”, to make him keep quiet. The Matonge cabal however will be shocked to learn that things don’t work that way.
If you bring an international lawsuit against any person or entity, you better present an airtight case, backed with impeccable evidence. Wild allegations shouted at the top of some voice, like Constant Mutamba’s, can never work.
To make matters even funnier, the Kinshasa bigwigs attempting to sue Apple Inc. will be seen importantly checking their iPhones, tapping on their Apple watches, showing off their MacBook Airs, and so on.
It’s truly incredible.
