Takeover Target?, page-56

@gbgirl, so you really believe that this mining executive referred to the Republic of Congo and not the DRC? So a country that is primarily a oil and gas exporter about 89 percent of exports with low level mining activity (iron ore and gold) vs the DRC which accounts for mining as 70 percent of exports, which has almost every major mineral, is classified a powerhouse in mineral wealth abundance and supply. And you really want us to believe a small territory like congo-brazaville vs one of the largest territories in the DRC.
Seriously, he is referring to Congo as everyone understands Congo to be the DRC.
I will provide you with a simple test for the layman- go to any internet web search and type the word Congo. Observe what appears.
DRC and Mali have both sovereign issues. You have the Allied Democratic Force on DrC rampaging against civilians. You have Muslim Extremists in mali post Libyan state failure.
It is why for having the banality of resource AVZ has, it is well undervalued. The same applies to Mali.
