Yes. There is a realistic possibility that the DRC decides - with support of corrupt actors within its heirarchy and under influence of Chinese whispers - that the current licencee Dathcom is unable to progress the Manono Project due to internal blockages. It could present a convincing argument that a Project of strategic importance to the DRC and one that underpins a key element of the governments future planning (namely its battery industry development strategy) is going to be hamstrung by factional fighting, and that it is thus in the national interest to cancel the licence and apportion it to a new entity. That would incur some more reputational damage to the DRCs business interests, particularly with the ongoing China-West competition, but my view is that damage would be containable and ultimately relatively short lived.

I had to give this post a 'like' even though I don't like it at all...AVZ should concede and be happy with less (which would still be a better outcome for us SH). Even if they only get 10%...better than losing everything. Let's hope it won't come to that.
