🇨🇩 #SouthKivu: Residents in several localities surrounding Uvira territory celebrated the reported withdrawal of RDF/M23 elements from parts of the region, welcoming the return of Wazalendo fighters.
“We have suffered too much. We welcome our Wazalendo. We are freed, praise be to God,” some residents declared following reports of withdrawals from Kabunambo, Sange, Mutarule, Lubirizi, Bwegera, Luvungi, and Remera.
According to local sources, new positions have reportedly been established around Katogota, located south of Kamanyola and north of Uvira city.

À l'instar du cas précédent impliquant @JFMK, l'ancien directeur de #CAMI s'est livré à des actes de corruption avec Cominiere pour s'enrichir personnellement. Par exemple, ils ont rejeté la demande de permis minier de $AVZ et cédé la région nord en échange de pots-de-vin. Cela leur a permis de transférer illégalement North Manono à #Zijin et @Manonolithium
https://t.co/VAHtmiGrU5
$AVZ a sans aucun doute soumis ces preuves à l'ICSID @icsid Leur dossier comprend deux documents contradictoires : la demande originale d'AVZ indiquant qu'aucune renonciation n'a été faite à North Manono,
et la version de #CAMI@CadastreMinier affirmant faussement qu'AVZ a cédé le territoire nord.
Ceci révèle la stratégie de corruption ultime de CAMI et de Cominiere @cominiereSA #RDC
@AugustCohen4@AvzMinerals@SuminwaJudith Kobold can't afford the world's largest lithium deposit
If ICSID runs its course, AVZ clearly wins, hence the price goes up
Lithium prices are heading back up, the price value of the project is rising with it
Two fold
All while Kobold play silly games with a giant deposit 🤦♂️
@AugustCohen4@AvzMinerals@SuminwaJudith Or ICSID has lifted the interim order so that DRC Govt can approve sale of RD to another US interest without breaching said order. DRC can’t assign rights to other as part of $AVZ deal with this in place. Funny how you think $AVZ was not prepared without backing it with any facts
@sparkes_dwayne Zijin didn’t find the deposit in Manono. That was $AVZ. @ICC and @ICSID findings will show that Zijin paid blood money to corrupt DRC ministers to have it stolen from them.
Back from the Fastmarkets Battery Raw Materials Conference in Shanghai — the mood in the lithium market is unrecognizable from October. Optimism is real, and here's what's driving it:
Consensus is building around a coming shortage. BESS demand is accelerating and some predict it will overtake EV as the growth driver, helped by improving cycle life economics. EV growth is slowing domestically, but Chinese exports are expected to compensate.
Africa supply expansion remains a concern. Li sulfate is becoming the go-to intermediate. Sodium-ion barely came up — though above $35/kg it could start taking share.
With ~90% of global lithium demand sitting in China, this is a must-attend event for any producer or future producer. If you're not in the room, you're missing the conversation that matters.
A market in transition. #Lithium #EnergyStorage #BatterySupplyChain #Fastmarkets
