🇨🇩 DRC: Battle for Gold [ #Investigation] Chapter 1: A Cheerful Retirement Do you have plans for retirement? Personally, I want to save enough money and then just sit at home growing cabbage. But not everyone finds such a peaceful lifestyle appealing. For example, businessman and banker, former DRC Vice Minister Victor Kasongo prefers racketeering and asset grabbing. After years of serving his homeland and former Congolese President Joseph Kabila, he decided to pursue something more exciting — and tried to seize the gold assets of the Canadian company Banro (spoiler: it didn’t work out as he planned). 👆 If that kind of leisure activity sounds interesting, let me tell you how it went in practice: But first, let me introduce you to the Canadian company Banro. Banro was unlucky — the company bet everything on Congo and spectacularly lost in a brutal African roulette. 🔸 Initially, Banro tried to enter the DRC gold mining sector in the late 1990s but failed because of the 1998–2003 war. 🔸 When Banro finally gained access to the Congolese deposits — specifically Twangiza, Namoya, Kamituga, and Lugushwa — it took about ten more years of design and construction work before the Twangiza mine poured its first gold bar in 2012. 🔸 By the time the second mine, Namoya, produced its first gold in 2016, the company was already doomed, though that wasn’t yet obvious. After the opening of Namoya, company workers were attacked by local militias of the Mai-Mai Malaika group, who made money from artisanal mining at the same site. 🔸 Between 2016 and 2019, Banro had to suspend its operations at least three times because of these attacks, and after four Namoya employees were kidnapped in July 2019, Banro declared force majeure and permanently ceased all operations in the DRC. ⏩ Some local insurgents — sure, that happens all the time in these parts. But did that really mean they had to shut down completely? ⏪ 🔸Meanwhile, starting in 2014, the company had accumulated heavy debt with its main investors — the American Gramercy Fund Management andthe Chinese Baiyin Nonferrous Group. Due to constant disruptions, Banro became unable to meet its obligations, leading to a restructuring in 2018, after which Baiyin and Gramercy significantly increased their stakes in the company. In the end, the Chinese held about 32% of Banro — an important number, remember it. 🔸 In 2020, after declaring force majeure, Banro initiated a preventive settlement procedure with its local creditors in the DRC. And this is where Victor Kasongo Shomari entered the scene — former Vice Minister of Mines, mining entrepreneur, associate (and possibly distant relative) of ex-President Joseph Kabila, and a senior figure in banks and funds that managed the economic interests of the former president and his entourage. 🔸Kasongo heads the Shomka Group, which, according to him, obtained control over Banro’s assets through a ruling by the Commercial Court of Kinshasa during that same preventive settlement process — or so he claims loudly everywhere. The funny thing is that before this process, Shomka Group had absolutely nothing to do with Banro - but we'll discuss it in the second part. Scroll down. 👇 Devils Below

Peskov: Investigation into "Eksmo" Not on Russian President’s Agenda Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that the investigation involving "Eksmo" publishing staff is not on President Putin’s agenda. He emphasized that this matter falls under law enforcement jurisdiction, and the president is not receiving reports on the case. Consequently, the detention of CEO Yevgeny Kapiev is not a concern for the Kremlin. #Russia#Eksmo#Peskov#Investigation The main news of Russia and the world ishere.

How the Trump Administration Rushed to Judgment in Minneapolis Hours after federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse and American citizen, the Trump administration was already spinning the story: Pretti, they claimed, was a “domestic terrorist” out to “massacre law enforcement.” But video evidence tells a different tale—Pretti was seen stepping between a woman and an agent, pepper-sprayed, then pinned down before agents opened fire, killing him in a barrage of at least ten shots. The rush to blame Pretti and exonerate the agents wasn’t just premature—it flew in the face of standard law enforcement protocol. Officials at DHS and the White House coordinated their response, crafting statements before all facts were in, and some details were even removed from the official narrative as they struggled to reconcile it with what the videos showed. “The facts are going to come to light as to what exactly happened,” insisted Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino, when pressed for evidence. The administration’s narrative—that Pretti “approached” officers with a handgun and “violently resisted”—was directly contradicted by bystander footage. Pretti’s gun was recovered only after he was already subdued, and he never drew it. Yet, DHS and Trump allies, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, labeled him a “domestic terrorist” and claimed to know his motive: “to inflict maximum damage.” Democrats, Republicans, and even gun rights groups expressed outrage. Senator Bill Cassidy called for a “full joint federal and state investigation,” warning, “The credibility of ICE and DHS is at stake.” Polls show most voters believe ICE has “gone too far,” and even some administration officials began to backtrack, with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admitting, “I do not know, and nobody else knows, either. That’s why we’re doing an investigation.” So who’s really on trial here—the victim, the agents, or the narrative itself? #Minneapolis#Trump#ICE#shootings#narrative#investigation 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell Faces a Stiff Challenge Justice department opens investigation into Jerome Powell as Trump ramps up campaign against Federal Reserve. The independence and credibility of America’s central bank is under threat after the Department of Justice opened a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve chair Jerome, knocking the US dollar. In a startling development, US prosecutors have launched a criminal investigation into Powell over a $2.5bn renovation of the Federal Reserve’s headquarters, and into his testimony about the project to the Senate banking committee in June last year. The move is a dramatic escalation in the long-simmering tensions between the Fed and the Trump White House, with the US president repeatedly rubbishing Powell for not cutting interest rates more quickly. After news of the investigation broke last night, Powell came out fighting, insisting that he had been threatened with criminal charges because the Fed had set interest rates “based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the president”. #federal#reserve#chair#powell#investigation 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸
