New guy joins the foreign legion and walks past the camels
He asks what are the camels for
His officer said they are for sex
That night the men hear grunting and groaning
They find the new guy humping the camel
What the hell are you doing they asked
Well you said they were for sex
No you idiot we ride them to town to visit the brothel

200 by 400 meters clearly wasn't large enough, fucking amateurs!
Not enough space to park his car with him in it with his hairdo.

The chief's head is highly like a bowling ball and forgot to take the hairdo in consideration.

We really were always in a lose-lose situation:

1) Pay the bribes, be blackmailed and have license revoked when refusing to pony up for the inevitable increasing extortion.
2) Don't pay bribes, officials see themselves as entitled to skim off the top and would rather make life hell for tens of thousands of people just to keep the status quo of their corruption.

Game was rigged from the start.
Yep seems like that bud… Hope Nigel and AVZ Crew have understood this now hence legal action taken place.

Let’s all get out of this mess would be the best 2025 ever 👍 🍻

And they are still trying to get info for their bosses about what is really going on.

If that fails they resort to step 2, bait, derail and destruct.

I am interested on members thoughts on when the Company might pay the fees to the ISCID.

Would you wait and see if the Locke Funding has an influence on decisions made ? It's just taken 2.5 years for the China / DRC Gov to realize their stall tactics haven't worked . Give these Corrupt f--kers one last chance to reconsider , then lock and load the ICSID if they would rather remain low life Corrupt Criminal Scumbags . Simples

Nope. Pay the fees anyway and keep proceedings underway.
The bastards will agree to anything and then renege to make another delay.
No more chances. Fukkum.
Keep going until we see cold hard cash in our hands.

I thought they would have before the end of December

I can't recall exactly how long they have to pay before the action/case lapses

We're paying for both parties if my memory serves me correctly

I haven't read up (in a hurry to get somewhere right now) but here's a link to ICC and ICSID fee schedules

Hope it maybe helps

I think It will only pay if the negotiations that are likely in play at this time break down.

Some see it as a negative not having paid the outstanding fee's, however I still presently chose to see it as a positive that we have not paid the fee's, maybe a deal has been struck or is close.

I realise that the recent AFP issue adds a degree of confusion or complexity to what might be in play at this time, but it's difficult to calculate what it's overall effect will be on our success without more factual details imo.

Do we expect an announcement regarding paying the fees?

No way Nigel is getting played again. The path from now on is crystal clear. Paying the fees, negotiate and push ahead the arbitration.

I'm with you Wombat. Set a deadline for negotiated settlement talks or suspend all discussions and go full bore ICC and ICSID. Pay the fees and wait till June. Insist all the daily fines are paid when due. It's not as if this would deprive the locals of income because the DRC Government and Celestin are doing that to their own people anyway.
This way we don't have to guess where we are going and we are all fairly confident we will win. Obviously getting paid would be the next issue but it would send the message to every other foreign Country to look elsewhere and steer well clear of the DRC.
