We have been waiting more than two years for a resolution, now we are so near to a final outcome it's pointless bickering over something we have no control over.
I get you geo_au, but similar claims have been made many times over the last few years, that never came to pass, and you've made some of those claims yourself.
The amount of cancelled meetings, run arounds, false dawns is so astronomical, you'd think someone out there was playing with management all along, to keep stringing them along until... uh oh, administration!
Keep you hopes in check, just because management are led to believe a resolution is close, doesn't mean they aren't yet again getting played.
We all pray it's true this time of course, but the track record is grim as fuck mate.
The intel we recently recieved however, was very promising, with delegates from the US and DRC government both stating that the AVZ situation will/should be resolved soon.
But you have to admit that not even they are decision makers in this process, and are going on what they've been told. Which could all be part of the game being played by the chinese and those they've bribed in the DRC government.
Personaly I give this chance of a resolution.... 80% likely to be bullshit.
