Rwanda’s High-Tech Metal Exports Surge 46%: A Modernization Success Story
KIGALI – Rwanda’s mining sector has emerged as a primary engine for national economic stability, with exports of Tin, Tungsten, and Tantalum skyrocketing by 46.2% between January and December 2025. This surge has played a pivotal role in narrowing the national trade deficit by 8.4%, providing a significant boost to the country’s macroeconomic outlook. According to data presented to Parliament by the Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Yusuf Murangwa, the trade deficit dropped from $3 billion (approx.

🇨🇩 BREAKING | Trump ally Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater, deployed armed contractors and surveillance drones in December to help the army of the Democratic Republic of the Congo retake and secure the strategic border city of Uvira from Rwanda-backed M23 rebels, according to Reuters. His team operated alongside Israeli advisers whose stated mandate was to train two elite Congolese battalions. Reuters says it marks Prince’s first known frontline combat role in Congo. He had previously been hired to help secure and improve tax revenue collection from the country’s mineral sector. The deployment came as Washington offers security backing to DRC in exchange for access to its vast critical mineral reserves, including lithium, gold, and tantalum. Prince’s contractors have since returned to their mineral-revenue mission.

Tantalum Quantum Bits Hampered By Infrared, Niobium Proves More Resilient
Researchers have demonstrated that niobium films exhibit significantly greater resilience to decoherence caused by infrared radiation than tantalum films, achieving lower quasiparticle tunnelling rates and suggesting a need to carefully manage radiative heat sources in sensitive quantum experiments.

> Niobium capacitors were developed in the United States and the Soviet Union in the 1960s. Since 2002 they have been commercially available in the West, taking advantage of the lower cost and better availability of niobium relative to tantalum.
