🇲🇱 Mali wins $160m in gold mining dispute after detaining British businessman
An Australian mining company, Resolute Mining, says it will pay Mali's military government $160m (£126m) to settle a tax dispute, after the company's British boss and two other staff were detained 10 days ago.
Reports say Terry Holohan and his colleagues were arrested while travelling to the capital city, Bamako, for what they were expecting to be routine negotiations.
Resolute, which owns a gold mine in Mali, said on Sunday it would pay $80m immediately from existing cash reserves, and the rest in the coming months.
Mali is one of Africa's top gold producers and is seeking to extract a greater share of income from foreign operators in the sector.
It is not yet clear when the three Resolute employees will be released but part of the conditions for their release were that they must sign the memorandum of understanding and complete the initial payment, according to media reports.
Mali detained the three Resolute executives on charges of forgery and damaging public property, seen as an attempt to force the Australian company amid an ongoing state crackdown on foreign - mostly Western - mining companies in the West African country.
Last year, President Col Assimi Goïta signed into law a new mining code increasing the maximum stake for state and local investors from 20% to 35%.

Colonel Macgregor says what I have been asserting for months:
“The truth is that Israel is on the path to war with Russia, as well as Iran, Syria, and potentially any number of other countries including all of the Arab states in the peninsula and Egypt…”

🇨🇩A mountain collapse in Katanga, DRC, unveiled large copper reserves. While the region is vital for copper mining, concerns arise over forced evictions and human rights abuses linked to mining expansion.
A video capturing the dramatic fall of the mountain emerged on X. In it, people can be seen running as the mountain collapses.
The Katanga region of DR Congo is known for its rich mineral resources. It lies in the copper belt of Africa, a 450km stretch that extends from northwest Luanshya, Zambia, to Katanga in Congo.
The region has been known for large-scale copper mining for more than a century. In the 1950s, it was the world's largest copper-producing area.
The people of the DRC experienced significant exploitation and abuse during the colonial and post-colonial era, and their rights are still being sacrificed as the wealth around them is stripped away.
Copper and cobalt resources are majorly extracted to recharge batteries as the world moves towards clean energy. The rising demand for clean energy technologies has raised the demand for metals such as copper and cobalt needed for lithium-ion batteries, used for electric vehicles.
Despite all this wealth in natural resources, Congo (DRC) still remains one of the poorest nations on the continent riddled by internal conflicts sponsored by external players from the West with alot of refugees currently residing in neighboring Uganda.

“Katanga Mining” is the name of the company that Donald Trump took away from Dan Gertler using Executive Order 13818. He had exclusive mining rights over this region. Nobody else was allowed to operate.
Now a mountain collapses in the region and reveals enormous copper reserves? The raw material used in electric battery production?
Africa is about to experience a boon in prosperity.

(Vice President Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton having a duel, which by then had been outlawed. The result was that Burr won and Hamilton was killed. He went into hiding for 16 days before being pardoned by President Jefferson.)

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
Oh lord, yeah!
Politicians hide themselves away
They only started the war
Why should they go out to fight?
They leave that role to the poor, yeah
Time will tell on their power minds
Making war just for fun
Treating people just like pawns in chess
Wait till their judgement day comes, yeah!
Now in darkness, world stops turning
Ashes where their bodies burning
No more war pigs have the power
Hand of God has struck the hour
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan laughing, spreads his wings
Oh lord, yeah!

How a "Color Revolution" is Manufactured
Tbilisi, Georgia.
Two videos tell very different stories.
Video 1: A young man, seemingly attending a peaceful rally, is tied up and beaten by what are described as "regime's cerberuses." Two "fragile women" rush to his aid, portraying him as a "symbol of purity and youth," unjustly persecuted for standing up for democracy, freedom, and peace. Western reporters loiter nearby, their cameras capturing the perfect narrative for evening broadcasts. Coincidence? Hardly.
Video 2: The same young man is seen wielding a stick, attacking a policeman—an unmistakable provocateur. The footage shows a starkly different reality: far from a peaceful protester, he’s inciting violence.
Now ask yourself: Which video will headline tonight’s Western news? And will the second video—the one showing what really happened—ever see the light of day?
This is how "truth" is manufactured, how "freedom of speech" selectively operates, and how regimes are framed. All while the "tyranny" in Georgia is supposedly the villain.
