Alright let me tone it down a bit. If not official announcement from AVZ, then some reasonably good news to come out of DRC today.

Geo stop giving secrets away to that Western Australian lithium troll over on hotcrapper (Lithium_King)

We are now at the final stages of obtaining a mining licence. The trolls are out to cause as much uncertainty and havoc as possible.
A lot of genuine investors on hotcrapper are doing it tough in this current economic environment with interest rates, rents, utilities and general living expenses rising well above inflation. I sense the hopelessness many are feeling brought on by the trolls. When all hope is lost some feel there is no way out but to end it all and some do. Offering hope to those in genuine need is the right thing to do to ease their suffering. Nothing I said breaches the trust placed upon me and much is already in the public domain and I don't do it to be popular or for thumbs up. That is my rational.

BTW, if you could only see the harm suicides cause to those left behind you would see things differently.

Have a nice weekend.

That’s fucking super, but it’s missing a few names…
  • The Green Witch
  • Jean-Claude Van Damme
  • Old Mate Portfolio
While we‘re at it, can we wire through to the state department the following for permanent bans and sanctions?
  • Vile kunt Lars
  • Ol’ Jerkhoff
  • Old mate, T-bag and his spooning buddy boatman.
  • Axle
  • The person that wrote the #FuckZijin ethics policy (it’s a cracking read)
  • Anyone else who works for #FuckZijin.
Hit ‘em hard, yankee man.

US State Department Sanctions Three Congolese Officials for Trafficking Protected Animals to China​

August 18, 2023
Kiki Kienge


By Kiki Kienge
It is within the framework of the fight against corruption and for the protection of nature, in particular through agreements signed by the Democratic Republic of Congo with the United States and other international organizations, that the Department of State of the United States United through his spokesperson, Matthew Miller has decided to sanction three Congolese officials from the Congolese Institute for Nature Conservation (ICCN).
These three officials are accused of abusing their functions to illegally sell endangered species, such as Okapis, gorillas, chimpanzees and others, often falsifying documents for their export to China.
The Congolese were and this for years, at the center of an ecological Chinese mafia, which by bribing already badly paid civil servants and who notably have months of arrears of their salaries finds fertile ground for its shenanigans.
These people, including two of their wives, are ineligible to enter the United States.
U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT RELEASE
The United States designates the following individuals as generally ineligible for entry into the United States, due to their involvement in significant corruption:
  • Cosma Wilungula Balongelwa , former Director General of the Congolese Institute for Nature Conservation (ICCN);
  • Leonard Muamba Kanda , former Head of Department of the DRC Management Authority for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and Director of ICCN;
  • and Augustin Ngumbi Amuri , Director-Coordinator of the CITES Management Authority of the DRC and Legal Advisor to ICCN.
As officials responsible for wildlife protection, they abused their public duties by trafficking chimpanzees, gorillas, okapis and other protected wildlife species from the DRC, primarily to the People's Republic of China, using falsified permits, in exchange for bribes. Their corrupt transnational criminal actions have not only undermined the rule of law and government transparency in the DRC, but also longstanding wildlife conservation efforts.
Today's action demonstrates that the United States stands with those in the DRC working to disrupt wildlife trafficking and promote accountability for corrupt officials and transnational criminals. These designations also reaffirm the United States' commitment to fighting corruption, which harms the public interest, hinders the economic prosperity of countries, and limits the ability of governments to effectively meet the needs of their people.
These public designations are made pursuant to Section 7031(c) of the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act of 2023. The Ministry also designates Kanda's wife, Rose Nsele Ngokali and Wilungula's wife, Esther Mwanga Wilungula , as generally ineligible for entry into the United States.

Alingete: “Corruption blocks economic growth”

“When it comes to corruption, we must stop laughing and react with complacency, because the consequences of corruption go far beyond our perceptions and are as harmful as those of epidemics”, launched Monday August 14, 2023, Jules Alingete to students at the Higher Institute of Commerce in Kinshasa.

The debate was worth it.

The financial cop targeted students, considered the future managers of public affairs, in order to raise awareness about the disastrous effects of corruption in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Speaking on August 14, at the conference debate organized by the Higher Institute of Commerce on the theme: “threats and opportunities in the fight against corruption in the DRC, is digitization a magic solution?”, the Inspector General finance-head of department reminded the students that the issue of corruption being intimately linked to that of development, the more it is increased, the less innovations will be recorded and economic growth will fall.

We discussed with the academic body and the students on the achievements in the fight against corruption and sensitize the assembly on the evils of corruption so that today we have committed Congolese who accompany this vision of the leader of the State in the fight against corruption, indicated Jules Alingete Key at the end of the exchange.

In a climate of relative freedom of speech, the public finance policeman demonstrated the purpose of the existence of the General Inspectorate of Finance, but also the results recorded since its revitalization by President Tshisekedi.

“We are always very happy to exchange with the different layers of the Congolese population on the results produced by the General Inspectorate of Finance in the fight against corruption triggered in our country since the advent of his Excellency the President of the Republic, Head of State in 2019, who made this scourge an important element of these concerns.

And as you know, since 2020 the Igf has been revitalized in order to effectively support this vision of the Head of State in the fight against corruption and the implementation of good governance to restore the image of the DRC on the international level”, hammered the head of the Igf.

Since his appointment as head of this control service attached to the presidency, Jules Alingete has worked tirelessly to counter the anti-values that hinder the good management of public institutions.

The financial cop is counting on the involvement of every Congolese citizen to eradicate corruption and the embezzlement of public funds that are eating away at the country's development.

Bit off topic as it has been bugging me for a while so asking it now..

I think you were going with upper case lower case Profile name, two upper case, one lower case and two upper case?

But, instead of O you went 0 and that too upper case, that is, Shift key 0, which gave you ' )', is that correct?

Its just, that everytime I see it , the urge comes to ask you if that was what you were intending, RHyNO1980 and not RHyN)1980?

And if so, please fix it, and then we can discuss more on AV2...
