AVZ Discussion 2022

[Strongman]

100% agree.

Depending on how you read this bit, you could say that whatever gets signed this week should be what we need, regardless of the nuances re troop withdrawals. Positive sign is that DRC were willing to compromise on their demands.

...Congolese and Rwandan officials are expected to sign a peace deal in Washington on Friday ...

The agreement also aims to attract Western investment ... giving the U.S. access to critical minerals.

The agreement also aims to attract Western investment to the two countries' mining sectors, which boast deposits of tantalum, gold, cobalt, copper and lithium, while giving the U.S. access to critical minerals.

Yep that is the bit that got my attention too. Is this what we have been waiting for or is there a seperate minerals for security deal still to come ?

By all accounts there will be a seperate DRC-US mineral for security deal to follow. Initially it was suggested this would be signed the same day as the peace deal. That narrative seems to have dropped from the public radar, but it still could be the case. fingers crossed thats what happens!

I expect though thats its more likely now it it be done at a later date, but we'll see what tomorrow brings.

$12 a can maybe?
COD only.

$12 a can, and they arrange their own freight from Aus.

Prepaid.

Do NOT use escrow!

And don't forget, once they've done the work to order, arrange freight etc, you can alway sell the cans to someone else instead.......

 

[BRICK]

Off topic, and not humour, but possibly a bit of a positive note for those in lithium...

Smart money bets on a lithium turnaround as these miners and explorers keep the faith | Stockhead

A new report suggests institutional investors back lithium to recover from recent lows and miners and explorers position for the recovery.

OK, USD12 then!!

I thought it was interesting that AVZ included the word 'respectful' in their last announcement. The sentence doesn't need it but with what we are now hearing in regards to the DRC reps' behaviour in Washington, it confirms what I suspected.....

Maybe Felix is THE Hong Kong taxi Driver!

#ACCORD_RDC_RWANDA

What should be ratified in the June 27, 2025 agreement between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda in Washington.
1. Conditional withdrawal of Rwandan troops. (canceled)
2. Ceasefire and disarm the non-state armed groups.
3. Mutual respect for borders and sovereignty.
4. Security cooperation with regional verification.
5. Economic development based on minerals and investments.
6. Regular ministerial monitoring to ensure implementation.
It should be noted that the DRC has waived its request for the immediate withdrawal of Rwandan troops from its territory.
This is what the Rwandan Foreign Minister asserted, emphasizing that despite evidence provided by the United States and the UN, Rwanda has never admitted the presence of its forces in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Instead, a gradual de-escalation will be implemented over a period of several months, depending on specific measures against the FDLR (Democratic Liberation Forces of Rwanda) in the eastern DRC, in collaboration between the Congolese and Rwandan army.

Sold in packaging made to look like brown paper bags, perfect for a snack

As long as he can deliver a ML to AVZ, I don't give a shit he can't deliver a pizza.

Speaking of deliveries it was sad to hear about Fred Smith, the founder of FedEx passing away in his sleep this week.

God must've called and told him he absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.

It appears that ‘snacks’ are a prominent theme within Congolese culture!
