Well,IMHO I think the African's have realised that there is a resources boom and they want to review their involvement in mines/projects, and how much they can get out of it.

With all the talk about iron ore and gold (and other resource) prices it is only natural. eg I hold KCn a gold stock recently the Thai's revised the royalty payments upwards to double, without so much as a hint previously.

Yes it is also about growing the local economy and creating employment. Where SDL fits with all this, I am not sure. Maybe one of the SDL holders can offer more than "Cameroon is stable etc etc"
