Exactly and thats where the '$5M for local media campaign' comment came but got lost in " kids working and shit" and didn't quiet get the response needed from NF.
Right now, we are playing catching/reactive game whereas we should be more aggressive than Chinese mafia, if thats the game they want to play, then at least we should come out of the crease and hit the damn ball outside the boundary by publishing real ground facts and let Chinese fetch that ball.
The thing that baffles me, maybe I dont truly understand the legal aspects, is that if the narrative of the Chinese can fly without any accountability why we are worried about disclosing the facts. If the president is unaware of all the work AVZ has done, whose fault is it? When Elon Musk brings a sink when he walks in Twitter's HQ, he makes sure everyone in the world knows about it let alone him helping Ukraine with SpaceX. And here we are, hiding in the shadows so much so that the top dog of DRC is unaware of our work with the local community? Its as if we are running the show with crime proceeds, white washing it by keeping it under the covers, thats a worry.
AVZ twitter account is as good as tits on a bull, how hard is to plaster a picture of the camp site's progress on it, how difficult it is to show the crane actually doing something rather than being a showpony. By doing so, it serves as showing the SHs that work is being done even if we are suspended, funds used can be justified, and pictures talks louder than words and can be used as a slap to shut down boatman and 2cents tommy. But unfortunately, last tweet is from July showing the journalists that didn't even bother to write what they observed mainly because they forgot all about show & tell soon after the consumed the snacks.
I don't even know if I made any sense but, rant over, I repeat, rant over....
