In that case, what's the point of "shareholders" spamming Twitter feeds with anti-DRC posts with AVZ tagged in every one of them? What are they trying to achieve - maybe they are only small holders so are happy to roll the dice and lose their lunch money, but I still maintain it's counter productive and there are many of us who have far more to lose if the constant stream of negativity persuades someone in the DRC government who has influence over the outcome to pull the plug. And that person may not even be the President.
I think the idea is to expose the corruption to the wider investing community, to DRC people.
The fact that they are so thin skinned that twitter comments were causing problems with AVZ dealing with them, only points to the fact they are corrupt as fuck and know it full well.
I think with this latest action by AVZ, many people feel it's time to name, shame, expose, yell, scream, and carry on as to cause so much trouble that it's more of a headache to keep acting against their laws and with corruption than to act in good faith and with the law.
AVZ are now drawing global attention to "unlawful" DRC activity, so lets do the same.. well lets keep on doing the same.
I think that's how we began this campaign on twitter, then we got told to be respectful, and we did that. After all it's a different way of life in the DRC.
But I dunno man, Africa, China, the West, we are all human and the same creatures at the end of the day, and in the west, transparency, exposing corruption, naming and shaming seems to be the only way to beat the corrupt.
They want us to be quiet, keep it secret, the game of criminals.
Perhaps it's time to keep shouting, and draw as much attention as possible.
They must be embarresed as hell at the DRC mining week.
And fucking good!
