In late 2025, Erik Prince, founder of Blackwater, deployed a private security force to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to help retake the strategic town of Uvira from M23 rebels backed by Rwanda.
The operation, requested by Kinshasa, included drone support and coordination with Israeli military advisers, though the U.S. government confirmed no contracts with Prince.
The mission marked his first known frontline use of private forces in Congo, amid U.S. efforts to secure access to critical minerals.
Prince’s team has since withdrawn, focusing on tax collection from mining, while regional instability persists.
