RE: Bell today6 Feb 2025 19:29
I was expecting Bell to come out and try to rally the troops today as they are getting restless after him spending 16 days in DRC without any real signs of progress.
He hardly gave any specific details about what he has been doing to make progress and what is arranged for the coming days. Instead he resorted to using the usual trust me and ships coming into harbour metaphor. I think the government is far to busy dealing with the crisis in the east of the country and he pretty much admits this. Even if he comes home waving some sort of agreement, getting the payment will be a completely different matter as all spare state funds are being used for military spending
