Verbal translation of the video

Now we are here today to talk about the DRC in general. I'm sure some people are interested in the ongoing peace process right now. Next week, we have technical teams here to try to take the next step. We have signed the agreements of principle now. We are committed to putting these principles into practice. We did what I think, as much as we can on online video, calls, emails. It's time to reunite the teams. So we're doing it right now. Now the timeline, as you may have heard, we signed these agreements of principles in April. We have these technical teams here today. We are still aiming for a peace agreement in June or July. It's a bit what the United States brings to the table, it's an extremely aggressive chronology, frankly, an ambition. It's no use doing stupid things about it. If we are going to do it, we do it. We're doing it now. We are not going to wait six months for the next meeting. We have to get there. And so, yes, that's what we are talking about. And I must note that the reason we are involved is that both parties have asked us to be involved. Both parties said: Okay, maybe you can do this thing. And that's why we're here, that's why we're at the heart of it all. But the key principle is that there are a number of processes you have heard of. You've heard about the Luanda and Nairobi processes. We now have a Doha process. And then, of course, there is the AU process. These are not separate places that can be played against each other. These are organized. They are coordinated and they support each other. And in fact, we will have the Qataris here next week as well as part of the negotiations.

US seeks a peace deal in Rwanda Congo confllict by July

US Seeks a Peace Deal in Rwanda-Congo Conflict by July​

By Michael J Kavanagh

June 12, 2025 at 3:59 PM UTC

The US wants Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo to sign a peace deal by July, according to a top State Department official for Africa.

Technical teams from both countries will be in Washington next week to discuss ending a conflict between the two nations that has left more than a million people displaced, thousands dead and a large swath of mineral-rich eastern Congo under Rwanda-backed rebel control.

“If we’re going to do it, we do it now,” Ambassador Troy Fitrell, a senior official in the State Department’s African Affairs bureau said at the Atlantic Council in Washington Thursday. “We’re not going to wait six months for the next meeting — we’re going to get this done.”

Congo, the EU and the US accuse Rwanda of backing the M23 armed group, which relaunched a rebellion in eastern Congo in 2021. The group took two major cities earlier this year, causing widespread international condemnation of the group and Rwanda, which continues to deny backing the rebels.

The US is trying to broker a peace agreement along with multiple African nations and the government of Qatar, which will also send officials to Washington next week, Fitrell said.

The US is also discussing investment in minerals and physical and digital infrastructure, Fitrell said, to support Congo’s mining industry and develop the country’s agriculture. Fitrell positioned US and western investment in Congo as the better alternative to Chinese miners, which dominate the industry.

Congo is the world’s second-biggest producer of copper and the biggest source of key battery mineral cobalt.

Righto 'Peter'

And why isn't your post deleted @Xerof

Hmmm

 

[Shrek]

What's that? You want the tr0llin' to continue? That could be arranged.

Day 1 - 23 threads removed.

Day 2 - a further 42 threads removed. Look at the threads in the forum now and how low Dave's posts are

I felt bad about the forum getting decimated but then it's not enough for you, I gotta come back and do more?

Go back to wanking shane off in your ladies panties.

Interesting regarding 9card edits to their latest postings - Silenced perhaps? Also thanks for welcoming back after the diabolical last few weeks. Long-long term holder bought in avg around 6c. 500k+ share holding. Blah blah.

Still won’t dog the shareholders who got in at much higher prices. 12 bucks minimum.

Alert to all AVZ shareholders, we have found the real identity of the deletion troll.

Ok this will be positive news once the diplomatic source is confirmed.

Ok this will be positive news if the diplomatic source is confirmed.
I did have a quick look at the journo John Lungila but hard to tell how legit he is.

How is your research going to confirm this "is positive news"?

 

[UpTheDuff]

Is that it then?

What are you wanting to know??? If you made it a bit clearer I can respond.

I’m just here to stay informed, and ask questions.

 

[UpTheDuff]

I'm just saying you seem suspicious pretending one account was deleted elsewhere and pretending you are someone else entirely here at a time when we have had a troll deleting pages off this thread and entire threads from the AVZ section of the forum.

Yeah that’s my crapper account. What about it? Wait I’m not even sure what this conversation is even about. I’m supposed to prove I’m not Shane and co?

Check post history??

 

[UpTheDuff]

You said phatcatz is deleted (posted on the crapper) here you are pretending you're new and popped up after years. View attachment 87046
Suspicious given recent happenings is all I'm saying.

'Someone" will delete this post anyway so what do I care.

Been banned mate. Can’t even use it. Unknown why it was. I assumed the detractors.
