    I think if you are investing in a politically unstable country in Africa any information on the arrangements in place for keeping the peace would be useful for investors to try and determine the risk verses reward metrics of their investment. ie portfolio weighting etc.

    All information that is relevant to a particular investment should be allowed to be discussed if it is substantiated by facts, as I've done, and is not off topic.

    To be blind to the in country issues of DRC defies simple investment rules of thumb, ie to do research on all influencing factors. I didn't see anyone getting moderated from threads recently when discussing the Tanzanian governments new mining law mandates.

    Country risks are real when investing in Africa and shouldn't be swept under the carpet when it comes to discussing stocks. As I've posted recently the news coming out of the DRC involves protests, ethnic killings etc. I'm not writing the news or making it up. Esh
