The ICC ruled in Dig Oils favour which the DRC gov ignored . Dig Oil then took them to court in the USA and the DRC gov wouldn't show up losing the case again this time by default . No point showing up or paying lawyers in a case you can't win .When we’re going to court no one will see a cent. Digoil fighted 13 years in several courts and now trying to fight in the courts to seizure anything because the drc don’t pay anything of the 700 million back. Getting money back through a win in courts is fantasy, the drc is bankrupt and this will not change in the near future. Especially because of the that bad current government.
The Icsid is to make pressure and force them to the table. To get international attention and hopefully enough pressure to force them to do the right thing, if not they give a fuck about their reputation.
A lot things have happened behind the scenes, I know they are waiting for something, but that something should had been done some weeks ago, so I share the concerns from doc that it just could be a stalling tactic or a try to foolish us.
To see money back the only way is to sell it to someone the drc want to, but I highly doubt this will happen because they had enough time for a deal and I know they didn’t talked about that scenario with officials yet.
I hope they stand to their word and something good happen in the near future. In my opinion only a agreement and relationship with a ML will let us see a cent again and start a fruitful future for the drc and us. The remove of the cami head was important for it, hopefully new cami is making it better.
After which:
"The government of President Felix Tshisekedi decided in May 2020 “to negotiate formally” with DIG Oil and both sides “approved in principle” a draft deal in December, she said. Many months later, “we have been very disturbed that no settlement agreement has been signed”, Brown said.
Contracts mean sh1t in the DRC . AVZ has been ripped off and is now being ignored . Apparently Nigel is sorting it out .
