You are on fire Frank.......good to see you posting frequently here again my friend..European agreements on mineral resources in Africa: between hope and conflict
In a context of historic tensions between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, the recent agreements signed between the European Union and these two African nations have revived debates on the exploitation of mineral resources.
As Europe seeks to secure its supply of essential minerals, the consequences of these agreements could be more complex than expected.
On the one hand, the agreement with the DRC promises a more transparent regulatory framework for mining, aimed at combating illegal extraction and promoting sustainable development.
However, the DRC's history of corruption and political instability raises doubts about the effective implementation of these measures.
On the other hand, the agreement with Rwanda, a nation in full economic growth, raises concerns about the impact on local communities and the environment.
Rwanda, while praised for its economic progress, is criticized for its alleged role in exploiting the DRC's resources, thereby exacerbating regional tensions.
In this delicate context, the European Union finds itself at the heart of a moral and economic dilemma.
As demand for essential minerals for European industries continues to grow, ethical and environmental issues pose a major challenge to the validity of these agreements.
Thus, at the heart of these agreements is a precarious balance between economic opportunity, environmental sustainability and political imperatives.
The future of these partnerships will depend on the parties' ability to navigate a complex landscape of regional rivalries, divergent economic interests and social responsibility.

Gotta be Felix in the sunglasses
The lesson here is , avoid going down the ICSID rat hole . All it does is make lawyers and Nigel and co richer (salaries). Share holders picking up peanuts (if their lucky ) at end of a 4 to 5 years shit fight that ends in a negotiated settlement anyway on DRC terms when AVZ realise it's that or nothing . Obviously paid out by Chinese brown paper bags who have by this time developed the mine .
This has to be sorted now . Hopefully Nigel is close . No room for egos .

It’s a fucking nightmare, DRC don’t seem to give a fuck
Does this give you a feeling things are not going too good ,
I think I will buy an extra large KY for when the time comes i'm tired of hurting
Pretty much confirmation that not much negotiation going on and that DRC haven't given fucks to date.
