Blackwater Founder Seeks Congo Security Contracts
The leader of the private security firm Blackwater is attempting to re-enter the private security market through the Congo. He reportedly signed a contract with Congolese authorities two or three years ago. The agreement focuses on the security of mining sites, according to the report. This follows previous involvement in securing sites in Colombia and other regions. The founder of Blackwater is reportedly seeking to secure mining sites in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Discussions regarding the securing of mining sites have occurred, and a contract was apparently signed with Congolese authorities. The specific mining sites and the exact nature of the security services provided remain unclarified.
