You got this lion. He's the king of the jungle, huge mane up here. He's laying down under a tree, in the middle of Africa. He's so big, it's so hot. He doesn't want to move. Now the little lion cubs, they start messing with him. Biting his tail, biting his ears. He doesn't do anything. The lioness, she starts messing with him. Coming over, making trouble. Still nothing.
Now the other animals, they notice this. And they start to move in. The jackals. Hyenas. They're barking at him, laughing at him. They nip at his toes, and eat the food that's in his domain. They do this, and they get closer and closer and bolder and bolder. Till one day, that lion gets up and tears the shit out of everybody. Runs like the wind, eats everything in his path.
Cause every once in a while, the lion has to show the jackals, who he is

He’s more like the lion who was in terrible pain because he had a thorn in his foot that he just couldn’t get out no matter how he tried
After a while a monkey came past and saw the lion in distress and suggested he could remove the thorn on one condition
“Anything” the lion replied “Ask anything you want, just take the thorn out!!”
The monkey said “I will take it out on condition you let me have my way with you”
The lion worn down from the pain agreed, and after removing the thorn the monkey proceeded to have his way with the lion
When the monkey had finished, the lion, now humiliated and angry at having been tricked by the monkey decided he would kill the monkey
He chased the monkey in and around the jungle for twenty minutes before the monkey finally came across a clearing where there was a bench seat with a newspaper resting on it.
Quickly the monkey ran over, sat on the bench and picked up the paper and put it in front of his face and began reading it while hiding from the lion
A minute later the lion ran into the clearing and looking around saw the figure sitting on the bench. In a loud growl he asked “Did you see a monkey come running through here?”
From behind the newspaper the monkey said “You mean the one that just rooted the lion”
“Oh no” said the lion “Don’t tell me it’s in the papers already!”

So the Minister of Mines that issued the ML decree in May last year (Antoinette N’samba Kalambayi) was left without a seat when the music stopped?
Professor of Law then should see the illegal break up of 13359 and corrupt dealings of Mupande trying to split Northern Section of tenament who is still not removed from his position .
Where are those surface rights ??

Félix Tshisekedi rejects Joseph Kabila's contract of the century with China, negotiations with the Australians on Grand Inga
January 20, 2023Kiki Kienge
"The contract of the century", better to talk about a centuries-old barter between the People's Republic of China and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Win-win?
In short, for China, this agreement is only a possibility to put a hand in the long term, if not to say exhausted on the mining resources of the DR Congo. We talk about cobalt, copper, gold, lithium, Coltan and others.
This barter had been carried out in two stages, the first of September 17, 2007 includes a loan from the Chinese bank EXIM Bank of US$8.5 billion to DR Congo, this amount should be used to modernize the mining apparatus. In addition to Sinohydro and CREC (China Railway Engineering), should build infrastructure in DR Congo: 3,500 kilometers of roads, at least 3,000 kilometers of railways,
especially road infrastructure, more than 30 hospitals with 150 beds and 145 health centers, for an estimated value of US$6.5 billion.
US$5 billion in 2008 was added to this loan, to make a total of US$13,500 billion that will allow China to own Congolese copper and cobalt for many years. A Joint Venture was created for this contract of the century between the two countries, SICOMINE, including 68% to the Chinese and 32% to the countries of Lumumba, DR Congo, which should repay China's loan to DR Congo.
Recall that the West with the IMF in mind, trying at all costs to block this contract, which was even the reason for the deterioration of relations between former President Joseph Kabila and the countries of the West.
For the second stage, the two countries revalued the initial barter to US$3,200 billion for the mining sector and US$3 billion exclusively for infrastructure, for a total of US$6,200.
In this contract between the DR Congo and China, in Article 6, China has even obtained the total exemption of Chinese companies from all taxes, duties, customs, direct or indirect charges, inside or for import and export, payable in the DRC.
Contract of the century under Félix Tshisekedi
Already in 2021, the Minister of Mines, Antoinette N'samba Kalambayi, submitted a report to the Congolese Head of State, Félix Tshisekedi, which stressed the non-compliance with SICOMINES' commitments in the exploitation of copper and cobalt in Greater Katanga.
Minister Antoinette N'samba's report revealed that "the Chinese relied not on the reserves proven by geologists (1.6 million tons of copper and 198,000 tons of cobalt for Sicomines deposits), which most mining groups do, but on probable uncertified reserves, four and a half times larger. ”
Yesterday in Davos, Switzerland, Head of State Félix Tshisekedi returned to the subject and denounced the Chinese' non-compliance with the contract of the century between China and the DR Congo:
"The Chinese have made a lot of money and a lot of profits with this contract. Now, our need is simply to rebalance things so that it becomes win-win. ”
"We are happy to be friends with the Chinese, but the contract was badly written, very badly. Today, the Democratic Republic of the Congo does not benefit from it. There is nothing tangible, no positive impact, I would say, for our population. ”
"You know, the Chinese are the champions of marathon discussions. They are known all over the world for this. We are living this experience now and therefore, we will see, but we remain optimistic. ”
Grand Inga with the Australians
Félix Tshisekedi spoke in particular about the Grand Inga project with the Australians of Fortescue Metals Group Ltd, which must be the largest hydroelectric project in the world, want to integrate other investors, especially Africans, into the project:
"We are not on the same wavelength. We want to make it a kind of opportunity to also unite other interests, in particular African interests. We are open to everything, to all discussions, to all meetings. ”
Mr. Hutchinson, Managing Director of FFI, said:
"The company is actively discussing the project, Fortescue has a team in the DRC and continues to work closely with the government to move things forward. Fortescue welcomes other partners as part of this important project. ”

With any luck the pineapple industry is about to go through a global shortage, a spike in consumption if you will. Primarily due to circumstances reaching the pointy end in DRC.
