AVZ Discussion 2022

[Azzler]

I'm a little concerned about this claim of Dathcom shares being siezed for auction.
It sounds like something the chinese might dream up, such crooked low-lifes they are.

All they have to do is pay bribes to some scum law firm to claim AVZ owe them money, then bribe a judge to rule Dathcom shares to be siezed and sold for compensation.
While it would all be bullshit, it's just more money wasting time wasting shit to fight.
While its being contested for another year, the other side can claim that Dathcom don't hold majority any more and cant be awarded the ML.

I don't know this, I'm just pondering, but it's probably true.

Beggars belief that Felix is allowing the business climate to be NUKED to support a corrupt entity in Cominiere - Rwanda has overtaken them and signed a massive deal with Rio Tinto for fucks sake.

Interesting to see Celestin no where to be seen at the Indaba Roadshow, not something he would EVER want to miss I wouldn't thought.

Instead they had that little gimpy retard Alain presenting and apparently it was a shitshow

How can they get away with posting this kind of garbage? It's just like spitting in the face of ICC proceedings.

In other News of the Corrupt kind, you may be interested to know that,

Rejected by the Constitutional Court, electoral fraudsters now at the door of prison

The Constitutional Court ruled this Thursday, February 8, on the requests submitted by national deputy candidates whose votes were canceled by the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) for electoral fraud.

She rejected all requests received.

This decision should normally pave the way for legal proceedings against those concerned.

Accused in particular of acts of fraud, intimidation, corruption and vandalism during the provincial and national legislative elections of December 20, 82 candidate deputies had seen the CENI cancel their votes.

Some of them appealed to the Council of State, which declared itself incompetent. They then appealed to the Constitutional Court.

This Thursday, the High Court, sitting in the open court of the Court of Cassation, dismissed them, declaring their requests unfounded.

Now confirmed electoral fraudsters, these candidates run the risk of arrest and imprisonment, according to lawyers.

The governors and ministers who are in this situation no longer have any reason to continue in office.

The Constitutional Court having ruled against them, they no longer benefit from the presumption of innocence,” explains a lawyer at the Kinshasa/Gombe bar.

Yep tough break for the Leopards, beaten by a lucky goal. But all credit to them for reaching the semis. See how they go Sunday against South Africa in the play-off for third. May be a consolation prize yet.

And following the success of my AFCON tournament coverage, I'm considering reporting on the DRC Nzango women's 'foot game' competition:

Hot Summer Day reading

Sacred Union: between conflicts of interest and national priorities, the time for choice has come

In the heart of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Sacred Union for the Nation (USN) has transformed into a vibrant political theater where divergent interests collide, sometimes eclipsing national aspirations.

From the Pact for a Congo Found to the Actissons et Bâtissons Dynamics, the time to choose has finally come!

Since the launch of the Pact for Congo Found (PCR) by Vital Kamerhe and the Dynamic Agissons and Bâtissons (DAB) by Sama Lukonde, eminent political figures such as Augustin Kabuya the new informant chosen by Félix Tshisekedi, Jean-Pierre Bemba , Modeste Bahati and Christophe Mboso are working together for a power struggle which has already started behind the scenes, highlighting three distinct blocs within the USN.

The irony lies in the fact that the three competing blocs all support re-elected President Félix Tshisekedi, elected head of the DRC on December 20, 2023.

This phenomenon raises fundamental questions about the changing nature of political alliances and power games within the USN itself on the one hand and the objectivity of the majority coalition on the other.

At the heart of these political maneuvers is the burning question of the sharing of responsibilities and the composition of the next government.



These issues, although crucial, must not obscure the essential: the national priorities presented by the Head of State.

And yet, the hypocrites' ball and the fight for the preservation of special interests seem to have a bright future.

The Head of State's six priorities provide a concrete framework for the progress and development of the DRC.

They should also be the subject of an explanatory communication from the supporters of the Head of State to illustrate its vital nature for the country.

Its popularization has never been the subject of communication commensurate with what they really represent.

Yet the public arena currently seems devoid of constructive debates around these priorities.

Instead of strategic discussions and tangible proposals, political maneuvering seems to monopolize attention, thus relegating the real concerns of the Congolese people to the background.

The social project on which the majority was elected is unknown.

In a country where national unity and collective prosperity remain ardent aspirations, it is imperative that politics move beyond personal rivalries to focus on concrete solutions and objective analyzes of society.

The new informant must demonstrate pragmatism and objectivity in the composition of the new parliamentary majority.

The time has come to put forward the interests of the Congolese people and to reorient the political debate around real national issues.

Having ambition in politics is certainly not a crime, but having your own ambition as your only political compass is a despicable act.

The people deserve better than this waltz of disappointed hopes.

Beginning to wonder if this shitfuckery would’ve been over by now if MMGA muppets had been voted in.

I’ll see myself out

An announcement should be made at least in regards to who initiated the suspension. What's material is whether it was done under agreement by the parties, request by either of the parties or by the initiative of the ICSID.

My bet is the DRC have failed to pay their share of the required advances outlined in Administrative and Financial Regulations 14 & 15 and an amount (most likely the full amount lol) is still owed 15 days after they received notice under Administrative and Financial Regulation 16(2)(a) so the proceedings have been suspended by the ICSID under 16(2)(b)

Suspension, Settlement, and Discontinuance - ICSID Convention Arbitration (2022 Rules) | ICSID

The proceeding may be suspended or discontinued by agreement of the parties or upon the request of a party (Arbitration Rules 54-56).

icsid.worldbank.org

Discontinuance for Lack of Payment of Required Advances (ICSID Administrative and Financial Regulation 16)

Except in annulment proceedings, both parties are responsible for paying the advances to meet the costs of the proceeding unless the parties agree otherwise (Administrative and Financial Regulation 15(1)). Failure to do so may lead to the discontinuance of the proceeding.

If the amounts requested are not paid in full within 30 days of a request, the Secretary-General informs both parties of the default and gives either of them an opportunity to make the outstanding payment (Administrative and Financial Regulation 16(2)(a)).

If any part of the required payment remains outstanding 15 days after notice of default is given, the Secretary-General may suspend the proceeding until payment is made, after giving notice to the parties and the Tribunal (Administrative and Financial Regulation 16(2)(b)).

If any proceeding is stayed for non-payment for more than 90 consecutive days, the Secretary-General may discontinue the proceeding, after giving notice to the parties and the Tribunal (Administrative and Financial Regulation 16(2)(b)).

Is the DRC that broke ?
