FYI: g'day Mr Presedent, (Felix Tshisekedi),

Felix, I misplaced your private contact details (sorry about that), so I thought you being a fan of AVZ HC you might appreciate a heads up on all things sensitive and pertinent to your Presidency and how one particular issue presently is being reported in your country in a summarised (extract) version for your perusal at your convenience, on the unlikely chance that your key advisors havent already copied you in, from someone who cares .

ps feel free to post your thoughts here on HC if you get a moment, as you have a super strong fan base down under.

Anyway:

According to several sources, the United States Embassy in Kinshasa is closely monitoring this matter and informs all potential American investors to await the outcome of the AVZ affair before any planned investment in the face of any proposal made to them on the Permit. from Dathcom.

Everything suggests that irreparable damage is being caused to the country as a destination for Western investments in the lithium sector because of the standoff between Cominière and AVZ.

The Congolese government and all state officials must continually remember that the United States of America has set up a coalition on critical minerals (lithium, cobalt, coltan, germanium, gallium, copper, etc.) under the name of''The Minerals Security Partnership''(MSP) with 13 partner countries including Australia (home country of AVZ), Canada, Finland, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Norway, South Korea, Sweden, Great Britain and the European Union represented by the European Commission.

If Cominière and his Chinese and state accomplices had not blocked Dathcom and revived the curse on this mining permit dating from ''Manomin'', the project's forecasts were that it should be put into production between June-July 2023 and would count as the only new viable mining project of the current mandate of President Tshisekedi and the province of Tanganyika to the great satisfaction of the populations of the territory of Manono and its surroundings.

By now, everyone will have lost nearly 2.5 years because of the gluttonous appetites and hegemonic interests of a few citizens that history will judge objectively.In the meantime, the DRC must diversify its partners in all sectors without falling into the trap of Chinese money, favour mining companies who invest in exploration and research and discourage those who invest in the expropriation of others' studies and permits.
