Thankyou for the belated reply, nice clear english btw...Without prejudice.
I made a draft, and will go over it tomorrow— tomorrow is not far away….
Main take away is, AVZ should not have to arbitrate with Cominiere. This is total bullshit.
How can the MoM talk about “harmony” when the IGF is shouting from the rooftops the defrauding of the State.
Someone made MoM write that, surely.
All this points to how weak the Tshisekedi coalition is. And the Chinese are exploiting it! they are owning the ministers THEY are attempting a coup on a so called sovereign state!
Irony is Yibin wanted AVZ to take control of Dathcom, and this is one of the causes of friction— why isn’t Yibin looking after the brown paper bags???
Chinese have been corroding AVZ’s management all along in my view. Even the hydroxide pivot away from EU to in-country (a country not ready) are all attempts to interfere and undermine confidence in AVZ when all AVZ has to do was start a 2mtpa SC6 facility and slowly but carefully ramp it up. Nigel got that idea right. “Walk before run”
So postponing on Zijjn matter at ICC is very suspicious.
If AVZ got a win against Zijin at ICC that just defuses the whole Congolese drive so the cynical question is, from what other avenue will Zijin et al try to undermine from next.
This is why fighting the Congolese when bombs should dropped on the Chinese embassy is what should really be happening.
Your POV up to this point mirrors my thoughts and plenty of others on this forum.
a) MOM.........." harmony " complete BS, unlawful, a juxtapositition in the backdrop of the IGF report
b) Piss weak Tshisekedi Govt
c) Chinese owning DRC ministers / exploitation / Coup / steal
d) Zijin v AVZ ICC deliberation.............suss as all hell, long drawn out game being applied
So what likely conclusion do you see regards to this long drawn out impasse between AVZ / DRC / CHINA regards to Manono ?
a) Will FT finally bow to the IGF report and the power of the common folk who want to see AVZ construct / produce at RD not ZIJIN...........with a election coming in the next 7 months , intervene and award AVZ the ML and its 100% rights to CDL ?
b) Or, will compromises have to be made from all parties ?
c) Is there a possibility of a TO and with whom ?
d) Or will the long game persist and AVZ gets stripped from Dathcom , told to fuck off , with DRC remaining a slave to China, becoming a pariah state with no international coy wanting to be part of the precedence ?
This topic is the hot potato that everyone has been discussing on this forum in your absence, not AVZ lack of disclosure, which most folk here would admit is suss as all hell and which i am certain will be dealt with if ( D ) comes to fruition....
I get the impression your ear is alot closer to the ground than most of us , so i am eager to know your thoughts.
imo
