Meanwhile on the ground around Manono.... Violence 3 times worse than last year in DRC.

"More than 1,300 people were killed in the first six months of the year by armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), three times more than in the same period in 2019, according to the United Nations."
"Deterioration of the human rights situation in conflict-affected provinces, in particular Ituri, South Kivu, Tanganyika and North Kivu, according to the analysis by @unjhro of the main #humanrights trends in the #DRC in the first half of 2020"
AVZ's deposit is in Tanganyika for those unaware.

The spectre of large scale famine in 2020 also looming. The below from Aug 2020 report.

Areas of greatest concern includethose that were already in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) in eastern and southern areas of the country - including the Kasai region, and Tanganyika, Sud Kivu, Nord Kivu, and Ituri Provinces - and in urban and rural areas along borders.

So armed conflict between ethnic groups already tripled, multiple rampant and deadly diseases, and the very real prospect of famine to exacerbate it all very soon. The place is a tinderbox.

And AVZ think they'll waltz into this situation and build a mine??

Reported FYI as holders like @Roller62 are very keen to keep up with current affairs.
