Message for Felix.
Dear Felix, the current strategy AVZ is forced to take looks solid considering the limited cards we can play. AVZ sitting on the Manono resource and controlling interest in Dathcom, so let the ICC cases roll on if thats what you want Felix? Everyone knows you cannot just kick out AVZ, no chance.
So Felix, the ball is in your court, you can force the Chinese crooks and corrupt DRC Gov officials and CAMI officials to capitulate in favour of AVZ, or nobody wins for a long long time and AVZ wins big at the end of the day at the ICC, sitting opposite DRC lawyers sometime down the road.
So what, AVZ misses the first few years of Lithium take up, big deal, only another 30 years of massive increase and demand to follow. Take your time Felix, import lithium from Zimbabwe if you like to support your vision of a battery manufacturing nation, laugh, cough, laugh, sorry it's a reflex issue I have to bullshit. Or you can do the right thing.
How much of a dick will you look like if "your" battery manufacturing vision including supplying lithium has to come from a neighbouring country Felix?
IMO, AVZ has a siege in place around Manono. The corrupt can't starve us out, we will survive and the crooks and bad actors will fail in the end.
Every day the awareness of AVZ and their plight increases in the DRC and globally, this cluster fuck in your Government and Portfolio Companies will soon get away from you Felix and be a significant embarrassment for you, including your family ties into CAMI.
Good luck getting the votes in December Felix with the AVZ issue unresolved. How much support from the ADB, IMF, EU and US will there be for you if you let the Chinese and corrupt Ministers and Gov agents run all over an Aussie company that has done all the work at Manono?
Don't be a weak prick Felix, take a hit from internal support from corrupt Ministers and do the right thing, otherwise you will be out the gate and the US and EU will support an alternate President.
Cheers The Fox
*Ditto Bro, Well said, I concur, as
The return to parliament in March marks the twilight of five years at the People's Palace.
It is time for the balance sheet for each of the agents for this five-year term.
Parliamentary vacations were an opportunity for elected members of this legislature to feel the pulse of their loved ones to ensure that they were always on the same wavelength.
However, while some of the deputies have been able to prepare their holiday reports, others know that they are hated by their constituents for not having brought the grievances of their respective bases to the hemicycle of the People's Palace.
They have no report to present.
They worked for their own interests regardless of their mandates.
These populations no longer recognize themselves in their representatives.
Faced with uncertainty, the latter pray that the elections do not take place and that the idea of dialogue supported by a fringe of politicians can make progress.
In this, they will be able to benefit from a new political reprieve which will allow them to maintain the financial health acquired during this five-year period which, one thing leading to another, is coming to an end.
They had never imagined that after five years, their mandate would be called into question.
Those who have spared their grind, are ready to face the deadlines of 2023.
In the meantime, the Independent National Electoral Commission is working hard to win the bet of holding the next electoral contests in the Democratic Republic of Congo within the constitutional deadline.
For this, Denis Kadima Kazadi expressed his point of view on the UNDP report published in 2022 estimating that a shift in the electoral calendar of several months for technical reasons is now a probable scenario.
He is pleased that none of these scenarios are coming to fruition and to conclude: "I can't wait to finish with the elections".
Supporters of dialogue do not stop discrediting the ongoing electoral process.
This, despite the total of 34,445,251 Congolese, or 70% of the expected number, already enrolled by the Independent National Electoral Commission as part of the operation to review the electoral register for the holding of elections in December 2023.
The presidents of two chambers of parliament have called on the government to table the bill relating to the distribution of seats before the end of this March parliamentary session.
This, in order to allow its examination and adoption by the two chambers in good time.
All signals indicate that the 2023 elections will indeed take place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Presidential 2023: the Dynamics of political and community leaders of the Grande Orientale makes 235 million FC available for the candidacy of Félix Tshisekedi
The President of the Republic, Félix Tshisekedi, received, on Wednesday March 15, 2023, the donation of two hundred and thirty-five million Congolese francs from the deposit for his presidential candidacy in 2023.
It was during an audience he granted to representatives of the Dynamics of Political and Community Leaders of the Grande Orientale.
During the exchanges, these nationals of the provinces of Haut-Uélé, Bas-Uélé, Ituri and Tshopo presented to the Head of State some problems related to the development of the Grande Orientale, including security, infrastructure and some economic aspects.
To these hosts indicates the presidential press, President Tshisekedi presented and explained the Development Program of 145 territories which he considers as the solution to the various problems mentioned.
It should be remembered that during the political forum held in Kinshasa, the Dynamics of political and community leaders of the Grande Orientale had imitated a fundraiser to support the candidacy of Felix Tshisekedi for the presidential election next December.
Elections 2023, Matata-Fayulu-Katumbi: Are we going to a coalition?
Are we going to a political coalition between Matata Ponyo, Martin Fayulu and Moïse Katumbi?
This question is worth his weight in gold.
Since, as the electoral jousts approaches, the political protagonists come together to hope for the final victory.
This Saturday, March 11, 2023, the Congolese opposition succeeded in its bet.
More than 15 km on foot to denounce the unfair aggression of the Democratic Republic of Congo by Rwanda, which continues to operate under the cover of the M23, and say no to any plan aimed at the country's Balkanization.
The leadership and governance political parties for development (LGD), commitment to citizenship and development (ECIDE) and together for the Republic, worked in Kinshasa.
For a first, Matata Ponyo Mapon (LGD) walked alongside his opposition compatriots including Martin Fayulu Madidi (Ecide), the senior overall executives for the Republic, representatives of Moïse de Katumbi on tour in the Congo deep , and even, Seth Kikuni, one of the unhappy presidential candidates of 2018.
A few months before the next electoral games, such a rapprochement is anything but a coincidence of the calendar.
Absolutely not. Hold !
A coalition is obviously no longer to be excluded between these opposition cadors who hold a bite, as they have confessed, to block the road to a second term of President Félix Tshisekedi.
They require strict compliance with the constitutional period, regardless of circumstances.
They believe that insecurity in the east of the country should in no way be brandished as a pretext that can cause a shift.
Martin Fayulu, president of the Ecide, wanted to recall him last week through a message broadcast on his Twitter account.
By the same channel, Seth Kikuni said no to an additional time at the current diet after December.
The party of Moses Katumbi, together for the Republic, hung the same trumpet after meeting in Kinshasa, still last week, for an assessment of the country's current situation.
Meanwhile, Adolphe Muzito, president of the new Elan, has not yet said his last word.
Will he join the views of Fayulu and Katumbi, his former allies within Lamuka?
Will he reach out to Félix Tshisekedi knowing that he is looking for one more mandate?
He will undoubtedly say it when the time comes.
