Heard same rumour a while back, that Xi had been deposed as head of the PLA. So Xi loyalist generals being purged suggests as much.From what I hear he's being out-purged. Some of his loyalist generals in the PLA being disappeared...

Well the good news is that celestin kibeya is being included in a monitoring unit for corruption related to Congolese mineral resources.Yea, in a perfect world, or even a normal world not involving the DRC Government. Also, keep in mind that the Peace agreement is expected to be signed on the week of June 15. June 15 is a Sunday and the US regards Sunday as the first day of the week. So I am interpreting this to mean that the expected date of signing to be within 15-21 June. This leaves things pretty tight to get the AVZ deal finalised in June, especially given the absolute glacial pace of every other step in this process.
I would have thought the most likely outcome is more extensions...much like the 50 extensions of the CATH deal, but very happy to be proven wrong. Time will tell. I am not getting hopes up too early.

Don't forget that AVZ have been in "commercial discussions" with Kobold for some months already and a framework to purchase our interest had been set by May 9 ann. Hence negotiations fairly advanced at that point.Yea, in a perfect world, or even a normal world not involving the DRC Government.

Don't underestimate Felix's urgent need of self-preservation, and love of the limelight on the world stage. He has everything incentive to make it happen. As does Trump and Rubio who desperately need a major win right now.What you say makes logical sense and is backed up by numerous media articles and other sources which speak of the arrangement as if it's a done deal. I have just lost all confidence in the DRC Government to achieve anything at all in any agreed timeframe. For anything involving the DRC Government, unfortunately I have come to expect nothing but delays and incompetence.
