The biggest risk is "the family" deciding that assets are better under their control, which is easier to do under an autocratic regime. But the money men rule supreme, and EST having JVs with Endeavour and Xinhai [and, potentially BHP] significantly reduces the political risk as they need large outside investor capital for large projects.
EST's price reflects the geopolitical risks; without them, it would be significantly higher.
