Both sides accuse the other of violating the terms of an earlier deal mediated by Qatar.

How has Qatar reacted?
Majed al-Ansari, a spokesperson of the Qatar foreign ministry, while speaking to journalists on Tuesday, said that
although timelines had been missed, there was still hope for the peace deal.
“The good thing is that both sides are engaging very positively,” he said. “We are engaging with them closely, and we are committed to the process, and I think the parties have shown a level of willingness to agree that was not there before.”
The spokesperson did not, however, give a new date for the signing of a peace deal.
Earlier, on Monday, Qatari officials revealed that they had shared a draft of the final deal with both sides to review.
The whole article is worth a read
@Bin59 and the linked video is also very informative. If shareholders don’t want to watch the whole video, you can skip to the 16min 45sec point where he talks about the USA and Trump.
The two main points I take away are how complex the conflict between the DRC, Rwanda and all the rebel groups involved is, and how desperate the USA are for the DRC’s minerals.
My own opinion is, as much as I would like the money for my shares now, the slower route through arbitration has a number of advantages. The most obvious being our legal position according to the international laws of the ICC and ICSID (World Bank), the USA’s increasing desperation for the DRC’s critical minerals and the increasing rise in lithium prices to name a few.
I also think with the DRC Battery Metals Forum coming up in September, it’s a good time to stick it to the corrupt actors in the DRC who have worked against us from the beginning and continue to do so. That in particular being Celestin Kibeya, Cominiere and CAMI.
Here’s the link to the Vuka Group who sponsor the forum which I note has Cominiere as its Cobalt Sponsor (something AVZ was a year or two ago) and Kibeya an influential speaker at the event

Some people may suggest Nigel might not want shareholders posting abusive comments on the corrupt actors involved.
He of course is taking a respectful and legal approach to the corruption against us and I’m sure shareholders exposing the corrupt actors through facts and evidence (not abuse) will not only support our case, it will keep a spotlight on the corrupt actors involved.
I have a lot of people here on ignore so I don’t see what they post unless I log onto TSE without signing in and when I read their bullshit it makes me glad we have another place to share information.
Now back to you
