“The farther the virus spreads geographically, the more stretched the already-sparse resources will become, Kobinger says. And some are concerned that the virus could easily find new footholds: the outbreak encompasses regions in Uganda that contain gold mines that attract many people, as well as a busy road that leads to the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo, Braka says.”

Look how Western media is preemptively providing an explanation for occupying the gold mines of the country.

    Interesting thing to keep following.

    With the amount of shit going on in Congo, Rwanda and Uganda, some state wanting to profit from the gold could easily set something up.

    They would do twice as worse for 1/100th that amount of money. Can’t wait to be called a conspiracy theorist for saying the neighborhood psychopath might be responsible for the dead body in the woods.

      Yeah, $12 trillion in newly discovered gold sounds colossal especially for a country Uganda’s size. If true Uganda absolutely will be getting swarmed like flies.

    I am normally hesitant to believe such things…

    but god the cold war was even crazier and there is little doubt in my mind they would do it again
