  • Analysts and community leaders raise concerns that DRC will benefit only "crumbs" from this venture, viewing it as a form of **neo-colonialism**.
  • Despite the optimism from Congolese leadership, critics argue that the Corridor may compromise **local economic security** and only serve foreign interests.
  • The **Lobito project** has sparked debate over its potential long-term effects, including environmental concerns and local community well-being.
