RNU in prime position to assist US.

US hopes get dashed:

However, everything is not in order for the United States. Workers at the Balama graphite mine, as well as 100 workers at the adjoining Ancuabe graphite mine were on strike on the same day Blinken revealed America’s intentions to exploit resources in Mozambique. Work was halted at both mines. Miners claim they are paid less than the $162 monthly mining minimum pay. Local workers first went on strike in Balama, demanding wage parity with staff brought in from outside, as well as perks such as health insurance. There are also concerns that if more people are relocated by the new graphite mines, an uprising will be fostered, as it was with those displaced by the ruby mines.
