Despite the Democratic Republic of Congo's massive mineral resources, why has it been largely abandoned since Dutch rule ended? Wouldn't there have been more interest in restoring it during the last century?

Uh, abandoned by whom? What do you mean by 'restoring it' and who would do the 'restoring'?

And the Democratic Republic of Congo was never under Dutch rule, it was under Belgian rule.
