AVZ Discussion 2022

[Dazmac66]

Also to the member who claims "you can't just get a meeting with a countries prime minister!! How long do you think it would take Twiggy to get a meeting with Albo if he new there was hundreds of millions in tax and royalties on the line. If The president is too busy to meet with the MD of AVZ he is surely suffering delusions of grandeur. Enough from me now, have a great Sunday all.

 

[Rediah]

Wow great article Retro! Not sure why it should be up to a random poster on Tse to inform us of this(no offence)! Why isn't AVZ smashing this out on every possible media outlet not the least to us information hungry share holders. FMD!

Because at the AGM I asked.

Why have we been inactive on social media?
A: No comment. There’s no need for airing dirty laundry, doesn’t serve any purpose. That’s our plan til ML delivered. Maybe down the line you’ll see some fireworks.

Waiting for promised fireworks.

So many uninformed opinions getting posted here by people thinking Nigel should be in the DRC talking to Felix.

Felix has made himself unavailable while he goes about cleaning out conspirators and corruption from his advisors and his cabinet.

@Sammael deserves the credit for this information he shared with me and a few others last night, but I’m putting it here because I’m sick of all the bullshit that’s being posted here

Cabinet Tshisekedi: The secret story of the fall of the adviser Fortunat Biselele​

The arrest of Fortunat Biselele, known as "Bifort", followed by the reshuffle of the presidential cabinet of which he was a pivot, augurs a change of course on the part of Félix Tshisekedi.

Africa Intelligence reveals behind the scenes of this political sequence and the investigation carried out by the Congolese services.

Fortunat Biselele, alias "Bifort", and his project manager, Pacifique Kahasha, who will be released shortly afterwards. At the same time, the Head of State signs the reorganization order of his cabinet. Only his chief of staff, Guylain Nyembo, is taken into his confidence and ordered to keep it a secret. The next day, Tshisekedi flies to Switzerland where he is expected at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

On board the plane, with him, are several of his advisers, including Pacifique Kahasha, his private secretary Taupin Kabongo, and his special investment adviser, Jean-Claude Kabongo, known as “JCK”. They don't know anything about the ongoing restructuring at the top of the state, and don't dare ask the president questions. On landing, they discover with amazement the new composition of the cabinet, of which they are no longer a part. JCK tries in vain to approach the Head of State. He is asked to leave the Congolese delegation. Taupin Kabongo resigns himself to taking a flight to Brussels. Bifort, he is still detained in the premises of the ANR.

Complaints and warnings:
At the origin of this upheaval within the first circle of the Head of State, there are first warnings about the presumed racketeering of certain advisers. They are formulated in particular by the American Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, during his interview with Félix Tshisekedi in August 2022.

Still skeptical, the latter wants proof and instructs in complete confidentiality a fringe of the ANR, led by Jean- Hervé Mbelu Biosha, to start investigations. The bank accounts of some advisers to the president are scrutinized in the DRC.

At the start of 2023, mining company bosses are taking advantage of the presentations of greetings to meet with high authorities. Several of them, including Sicomines, a company with majority Chinese capital (AI of 01/19/23), mention difficulties in dealing with certain authorities and in satisfying the financial demands of presidential advisers. Among the personalities cited: the itinerant ambassador of the Head of State, Dany Banza, Bifort and JCK. The latter has interfered, with Bifort, in most major business cases, establishing itself as an essential interlocutor for economic operators.

The miners' complaints, backed up by Gécamines executives, go back to Jacques Tshibanda Tshisekedi, who abhors these special advisers perceived as dangerous for his older brother, the president. Their practices with mining operators are confirmed by the ANR, which has an agent in most companies considered strategic. The Head of State is discreetly informed and goes through the banking files, as well as the financial arrangements analyzed by his services. Some suspicions of enrichment are confirmed.

Links with Kigali
Information can be used to complete these financial analysis notes. If Bifort's Congolese bank accounts are surprisingly credited with only a few hundred thousand euros, it is because the adviser favors cash, according to ANR sources.

In addition to the financial investigation, there is a security component. For a long time, Bifort has been suspected of collusion with the Rwandan power of Paul Kagame. Formerly part of
the RCD rebellion (Rassemblement du Congo pour la democratie) supported by Rwanda, which trained him in intelligence, he used this relationship to try to bring Kinshasa closer to Kigali at the start of Tshisekedi's mandate. He is credited with a certain closeness to the number 1 in Rwandan intelligence, General Joseph Nzabamwita, and one of Kagame's advisers, Patrick Karuretwa.

His good relations with Kigali, however, suffered from his role in the attempted rapprochement at the end of 2021 with Uganda by Yoweri Museveni.

While All-Kinshasa was buzzing with rumors about Bifort's links with the Kagame regime, Felix Tshisekedi has long remained deaf to the risk assessments issued by his own service officials. Starting with those expressed by François Beya, his former head of the National Security Council (CNS) who, after having wanted to prevent a Bifort affair, found himself accused of plotting against the Head of State (AI of 18/ 02/22).

Increased mistrust
At the start of the year, the Head of State avoids Fortunat Biselele, no longer takes him on the phone and is wary. His questions about the loyalty of his adviser become untenable after an interview by Bifort with Alain Foka, journalist from RFI, broadcast on the latter's YouTube channel on January 6. His equivocal remarks on an alleged deal between Tshisekedi and Kagame, so that the latter uses his "address book" to bring investors to the DRC, surprise All-Kinshasa. Jean-Hervé Mbelu Biosha, the boss of the ANR, reputedly hostile to Rwanda and its supposed relays in the DRC, is continuing his investigations.

According to several security sources, ANR agents searched Bifort's homes in Goma and Kinshasa, which the family of the person concerned, however, denies. Large sums of cash - in the order of several million dollars - were reportedly found in his luxurious house in Kinshasa, near the Marble Palace in the commune of Ngaliema. The security services also reportedly came across a valid Rwandan passport. Nearly a week after his arrest, Bifort is still in the hands of the ANR. Congolese agents also seized the phones and computers of the former private adviser. Their technical analysis would have brought to light allegedly compromising elements about his relationship with Kigali.

Trusted personalities
The head of state, who believes he has been betrayed, purged his cabinet and dismissed some of his advisers. The last of the witnesses to the agreement signed with Joseph Kabila at the end of 2018 to still be in office, Bifort suddenly finds himself devoid of influence and political future. A clear message addressed to his troops, his political partners and his government. But also to his traveling companions since the beginning of the mandate, such as Dany Banza, the itinerant ambassador now in charge of the mission for regional integration, and losing influence.

This new cabinet, the Head of State has refocused it on trusted personalities, whose loyalty has been proven. He favored relatives, like his new private secretary, Bony Mwamba Kitambila, and especially his brother, Jacques Tshibanda Tshisekedi, appointed internal security coordinator within the personal services of the Head of State. We also find Paul Mundela and Michel Mulumba, both appointed special assistants to Félix Tshisekedi and members of the family.

For the Bifort post, Tshisekedi has set his sights on Kahumbu Mandungu Bula, known as "Kao", until then executive coordinator of the Banana port project monitoring coordination office (AI of 12/07/22). The latter is also reputed to be the prime contractor for the partnership concluded in January between Kinshasa and Abu Dhabi, which will allow the transport of "certified" gold between the two countries.

According to our information, the restructuring of the presidential cabinet, particularly at the level of its management, should continue in the coming weeks.
Guylain Nyembo and his deputy in charge of economic and financial issues, André Wameso, remain in office pending the return of the president's trip to Europe, then to the United Arab Emirates, and the reshuffle of the government. Olivier Mondonge Mugabe, a close friend of the president with whom he has significant influence, has been appointed deputy chief of staff, in charge of social progress.
As far as regional diplomacy is concerned, Serge Tshibangu is kept in office. His post was once coveted by Claude Ibalanky, considerably weakened by his business past with Zoé Kabila and his uncoordinated initiatives in negotiations with the M23 rebels (AI, 15/11/22). He was dismissed this week from the head of the National Monitoring Mechanism of the Addis Ababa Framework Agreement (MNS).

Why have we been inactive on social media?
A: No comment. There’s no need for airing dirty laundry, doesn’t serve any purpose. That’s our plan til ML delivered. Maybe down the line you’ll see some fireworks.

Waiting for promised fireworks.

This sort of information should be posted on the company website. I don't care about social media, it's a great story that promotes AVZ and their work with the local community. Also if it's on the website I know it's legit.

I mentioned social media because AVZ has got their official twitter account, and it's much easier to notify SHs/public by click of a button about their announcements and attaching a link of their webpage for further details. Its (social media) more convenient for us SHs, than going to AVZ's website everyday to see if they have uploaded a new content.

 

[wombat74]

What can we do Wombat, we cant sell and get out

If nothing changes the cone of silence approach by Nigel is going to wear very thin . The stock standard regurgitated email reply also. I understand it has been and is currently necessary but also it's very convenient for management as well .

Thanks for posting MB, great read.

Thanks Micky, but all credit should go to @Sammael who is often up till 3am in the morning researching the DRC, Felix and our company and sharing his findings with me.

He has been a huge factor in a lot of the information I come out with

And I think it's good that not ALL information discovered, or whispered privately should be posted here. It's an open forum, and it's full of non-posting Kunts who want to know what we know.

Those Kunts know who they are - slime ball Kunts, who feed it back onto Twitter or directly to that other cesspit of corrupt rat fuckers

If you have really good info, share it via DM with those you trust

Arsehole (trustworthy, BTW)

 

[DiscoDanNZ]

The reality is that anyone of us here could do a better job managing the AVZ social media platform. There is enough little bits of fluff that we find out about through 3rd, 4th and 5th parties that could be posted without 'showing our hand' to Zijin etc and would at least provide SH's with a crumb of positive newsflow.

The crane? We found out about through the suppliers LinkedIn, there's an opportunity for a tweet. Did it ever get delivered? Yeah, it's barely visible in the background of a picture of all our Chinese equipment and I can't even remember the source of those pictures.

The new buildings at camp, that even opens the door for a follow up tweet showcasing the quality toilets were providing to the valued local employees.

We have plenty of positive non sensitive news that could be tweeted out if only we could get the BoD off the phone to Aunt Wendy so the receptionist can connect their Pentium II desktop with 14 inch CRT monitor to the internet via the external 56k dial up modem.

[Mr Inappropriate]

Mate I seriously want to know what all the staff are doing day in day out to earn these mammoth wages.
The 10mt study is done
The tenders for the build are done
All environmentals, transports etc are done.
Most of the building of accommodation on-site seem to be done or getting close to it
Sure there’s some back ground works to be done but AVZ were ready for ML over a year ago.
The extra drilling should be done, not sure why we haven’t heard further results from that.
Ben I can understand, he busy answering yours and wombats emails with the generic ‘we doing the best we can‘ reply but the rest?

They going to blow through the cash we have with drilling and wages and we hearing f’all, maybe that’s exactly what the Chinese want….

That IS exactly what they want. Or at least it’s part of their grand plan. Plan A) Steal it, Plan B) Fuck with it in every conceivable way to make them (us!) fail. It’s then there for the taking. The elements of this strategy are now out in the open for all to see.

ML is our only way out.

You're right, it's would much easier to find the info on social media but I gave up on twitter ages ago. There were too many fuckwits and nutjobs on there.

 

[Xerof]

Haha, Axle thought I was talking about him - silly cunt, triggered him

 

[Carlos Danger]

Why don't you debate the issues here rather than lurking and posting disinformation on Twitter?

We all know why you don't lol
