Anyone have any news re the progression of the current negotiations ?
Yes unfortunately and apologies if this has been sent prior.....
Not sure we are going to see a deal for some time yet, rwanda looking for a win win, circumstances not to their liking......
Or is this fake news ?
Bring on ICSID regardless, time AVZ applies the bunsen burner
Just another....

Hi Beisha thanks for posting the vid. It is one i had not seen before and certainally seems to point to a much longer time frame with regards to the signing of the peace security minerals deal
When AVZ announced the suspension of the ICSID for 23 rd i was a little surprised given the proposed signing of the peace accord in the week of the 16 th. This date (the 16th) was incredibly ambitious from Massad Boulos and his team and definately had high chance of dragging out for some time. Now we see the Chinese somehow involved and Kabila stirring up the pot as well as no doubt all the other bad actors we all know to well trying to derail the whole peace security minerals deal.
My thoughts are why would Nigel only suspend ICSID for 1 month when there was a very high chance that the security minerals deal wouldnt get done within the 1 month . I like most others here i think was of the view that our sale agreement with Kobold was beholden to the signing of the security minerals deal and with this in mind i went back and reread the ICSID suspension announcement, the original joint press release of the sale framework agreement and the Avz announcement confirming it. Particularly regarding the ICSID suspension i now beleive that it is quite possible that it is actually saying the sale agreement being finalised is actually a precursor to and part of the security minerals deal not in addition to or as a result of it. If that is the case then it is definately still possible the deal will be done irrespective of the security minerals deal
Felix initially approached the US with the minerals security deal proposal given the very real threat posed by M23. If Rawanda wont play the game US through training logistics etc for FARDC and Erik Prince could certainaly provide security for western aligned mining operations and help with tax collection etc as well as contain the M23 to eastern DRC . Rawanda in the interim would be bled dry by the US and eventually brought to heel
Just my thoughts....fingers crossed
