🇲🇱Mali: Separatists VS Investments 🌏 Mali's anti-government Azavad Liberation Front issued a communiqué, wherein it rejects ... the illegal decision of the junta of Bamako to accord to SOREM Mali S.A. the right to exploit the Intahaka gold mine, situated in the region of Gao. ❓ SOREM is a Malian mining company with a 100% public ownership, that since its creation in 2022 has taken charge of several mines abandoned by their owners - the Intahaka mine, Morila mine and Yatela mine. ‼️ The most intriguing part is that the decision in question was effectively made by Bamako more than a year ago - on August 28, 2024. If we cross out the option where the ALF merely has a very pitiable internet connection, the most viable explanation of such a delay is that the ALF is foreshadowing something - namely, anotherdeal like one that has been concluded recently with Flagship on the Morila mine. The ALF warns any foreign enterprise, institution or partner against any economic or mining activity... 🤝 Whether the ALF is aware of another upcoming agreement, which would imply cooperation with a foreign investor as is the case of Morila mine and Flagship, or it's just a false start,the message is clearly targeted at foreign audience. However, if Intahaka could successfully operate under Bamako's oversight all this time and even serve as an alledged source of the Wagner / Africa Corps funding, why would anyone now believe such threats?
