The Congo's cobalt makes it a potential WAKANDA

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has 80% of the world's cobalt. This rare mineral is essential to lithium batteries powering our cell phones, laptops, vaping devices, electric vehicles, hoverboards, power tools, etc. Without cheap access to cobalt,  the economies of the West and China would come to a screeching halt.
