That would be a move that would actually start a war I think. Congo is one of the largest natural resources producers in the world and the West will not let that slide.

Edit: I now see this is Congo-Brazzaville and not Congo-Kinshasa which changes things a bit. Brazzaville is still a big oil country but it is not as resource rich as Kinshasa.

Why hasn't the DRC ready to join the Bloc?
