2025年底,黑水组织创始人埃里克·普林斯向刚果民主共和国部署了一支私营安全部队,帮助从卢旺达支持的“3·23”运动叛乱分子手中夺回战略城镇乌维拉。 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. 金沙萨要求的行动包括无人驾驶飞机的支助以及与以色列军事顾问的协调,尽管美国政府确认没有与亲王签订任何合同。 The operation, requested by Kinshasa, included drone support and coordination with Israeli military advisers, though the U.S. government confirmed no contracts with Prince. 这次访问标志着他在刚果首次在已知的前线使用私人部队,当时美国正在努力确保获得关键矿物。 The mission marked his first known frontline use of private forces in Congo, amid U.S. efforts to secure access to critical minerals. 自那以后,亲王小组已经撤离,重点是从采矿业中收税,而区域不稳定持续存在。 Prince’s team has since withdrawn, focusing on tax collection from mining, while regional instability persists.
