African's Next Export War Might be in Minerals Not Oil
Minerals Are the New Oil. ⛏️🌍
Once it was black gold that built empires. Now, the world runs on cobalt, lithium, and graphite, the metals that make batteries hum and economies move.

In this week’s StayWired, we unpack how critical minerals are shaping global power, why governments are redrawing trade maps, and how Africa could move from raw supplier to value creator.
