🤔 Why Call It Racketeering? It is possible that the ex-Vice Minister himself was responsible for the attacks on gold mines. 🔸 Victor Kasongo himself claims that Banro approached him and his company to help negotiate with local armed groups. 🔸 Now look at how these “negotiations” are described in one of the two company presentations prepared for potential investors at the Mining Indaba conference in South Africa in early 2024 (which can be accessed through Shomka Group Holdings’ website with a few simple legal maneuvers). ⏩ There is no evidence that Kasongo had any direct link to the militias attacking Banro between 2016 and 2019. ⏪ However, given that 🔸 the former Vice Minister hails from the same region where the Namoya mine (which had been persitently attacked)is located, 🔸Banro suddenly approached him for help securing the site - and that he supposedly managed to “solve” the problem so quickly and effectively It’s hard not to see a striking resemblance to a pre-planned extortion scheme. A pre planned extortion scheme, that went totally wrong. 👇 Devils Below
