Lots of stuff going on obviously, but I'm still concerned that Felix hasn't mentioned any of this shitstorm or tough talked at all yet. As has been pointed out hundreds of times, Manono is one of the most important elements for the future prosperity of his country, but it seems he's either wearing blinkers or has his hands tied. He can't be oblivious to all the chatter in the media around him, surely he needs to speak up at some point in time, so people know where he stands on this crap
I have the feeling that Felix as President of the DRC has a minister of mining in Antoinette, who just won the teacup of the year for being the fairest and the best, and sees it is up to her to sort out the shit in the mining Portfolio.
Antoinette has a slight problem, it seems that the minister of Portfolio (who is overseeing the investments of the DRC via Cominière and the Pension Fund) signed off on the transfer, after being lied to by the temping head of Cominière about the entire deal.
The Princess with the cold eyes is a career politician, who believes her task is signing papers, regardless of the implications.
The problem is Antoinette can jump up and down, but can't arm wrestle the Princess, they are at the same level and Antoinette being the fairest probably doesn't like back stabbing.
She has to come with a sound argument and go to Felix to get the Princess removed.
Me thinks the internal political situation in the DRC has slowed down Felix dance moves, but if he doesn't kick the Princess out quick smart, after the revelations in the IGF report, it could well be a nail in Felix' coffin.
