News, in that twitter link you gave, there are two tweets dated 28 July 2024 and one dated 6 July 2023.

Sorry I just realised that link "News" gave today involved a 6th July 2023 tweet.

Though looking at RNSes around that date in 2023 there was no RNases about DRC. So what I said in previous post still applies.

News, your 9:01 am link to Andrew Bell on his personal twitter: https://x.com/ABell2019/status/1676864050926321665

Proves how manipulating Bell is.

In the above link on 6 July he tweeted: "apparently I am in DRC, DRC, London?"

He was clearly playing silly games, trying to manipulate investors, attempting to trick them that something could be happening in the DRC regarding money.

There was no RNS after that tweet. There was nothing about that on Red Rock twitter.

So I personally believe he puts those kind of tweets on his personal twitter for a reason because he knows it will quickly get buried underneath all his other tweets.

Poster "GOODSHARE" said last Thursday that he had it confirmed Andrew Bell would be in Burkina Faso last weekend. 🤥

However yesterday poster "Liquid Silver" said Andrew Bell was in the DRC. 🤥

The other day poster "Confounded" was giving links to twitter user "Caleater" who often makes outlandish rampy posts about RRR. I told Confounded this, yet that didn't stop "Confounded" continuing to post links to that twitter account. 🤥

There are so many other rampers I could highlight but I don't have time. But that tells me everything about all these low moral rampers who will say absolutely anything to sucker the naive into this company.

All you low moral rampers will you do me a favour?

Never look down on anybody because most of you are conmen. 🤥

Orslega, so how do you interpret that RNS extract?

(a) The major RRR shareholders will lend RRR the £250,000 to pay Power Metals the £250,000?

(b) The major RRR shareholders fully support Red Rock in doing a fundraise so they can pay Power Metals the £250,000?

You can see from this map how far landlocked Burkina Faso is from a sea port:

https://geology.com/world/burkina-faso-satellite-image.shtml

Benin, Togo, Ghana & Ivory coast are all adjoined to Burkina Faso. So you would think the RRR cargo will go to one of those countries seaports.

As you can see it is many hundreds of miles from any of those countries seaports to reaching Burkina Faso. So once at seaport Sam Mahendran will have to navigate both difficult terrain + dangerous areas to reach Burkina Faso.

From the map you can certainly see why they at first wanted to take the cargo by plane.

My keyboard hasn't been taken over by "news". 😆

Unsurprisingly ECOWAS has been likened to the European Union and the Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali ECOWAS breakaway has been called SahelEXIT.

In the RRR FASO presentation it said:

"The change of political leaders does no way affect the

continuity of the treaties and privileges of local and

international companies"

Clearly that presentation is now old and with Burkina Faso out of ECOWAS I'm sure BF President Ibrahim Traore now creates his own rules.

...

I am not confident about Burkina Faso. I'd be massively surprised if pampered Andrew is willing to slum it out there for a few weeks.

I did see a recent video of some rather impressive and large drones Burkina Faso had acquired from Turkey. Let's hope if Andrew does go out there that the drones don't mistake him for a terrorist and then drone him and Smuts. 🥹

Being a former French colony, last year Ibrahim Traore told the French Military to leave because they had done little to abate the terrorism in the country.

An article from last month to show the terrorism is still rife:

This video I posted the other day I believe was a speech from Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traore at the first AES or Alliance of SAHEL state gathering:

https://twitter.com/Your_Tweety/status/1814764802675519875

He's basically saying that countries who won't sell them weapons cannot take advantage of their valuable mining minerals.

Also from research the countries which have sold them weapons are Russia, China and Turkey. Also they have gone into a partnership with Iran to build infrastructure in Burkina Faso.

So the west frown upon those relationships. So I personally don't see much of a future of the Red Rock subsidiary being in Burkina Faso.

By the way a 10 July 2024 ARTICLE.

THIS ALLIANCE UNITED IN WEST AFRICA FOR DECADES. NOW COUNTRIES ARE BACKING OUT.

"Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger are withdrawing from a 49-year-old regional alliance that has allowed goods and nearly 400 million people to travel freely across a tightly connected region.

"Three West African countries have broken away from a 15-member regional bloc that has long ensured free movement of people and goods among its tightly knit economies, further destabilizing an area that is home to nearly 400 million people and threatened by violent insurgents.

The leaders of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger last weekend announced their “irrevocable and immediate” withdrawal from the bloc, the Economic Community of West African States, known as ECOWAS. They said that they are creating their own confederation.

The three countries, all ruled by military leaders friendly to Russia, span more than half of the bloc’s geographic area and are among its most populous. However, they are not the region’s largest economies, and as landlocked nations, all three depend on access to ports in coastal countries for overseas trade.

“Our region is facing the risk of disintegration,” Omar Alieu Touray, the president of ECOWAS’s executive arm, said on Sunday.

The bloc has appointed Senegal’s newly elected president as a mediator in the crisis. But experts say that the breakup is now underway — and the consequences for people in the region may be stark."

WHY ARE BURKINA FASO, MALI AND NIGER LEAVING THE BLOC?

"The three countries share borders, cultural and ethnic ties, and recent political history: Military leaders there ousted civilian governments in coups, accusing them of failing to defeat Islamist terrorist groups. The military juntas sidelined presidents, even locking one up in his residence, and refused to relinquish power or organize elections. As a result, ECOWAS imposed economic sanctions on them, hoping to compel the juntas to restore civilian rule.

But that approach has mostly hurt the countries’ populations, and in the founding treaty of their new alliance, the three leaders condemned the West African bloc’s “illegal, illegitimate and inhuman sanctions.”

The leaders’ supporters, as well as independent analysts, have also denounced what they call a double standard: ECOWAS has rarely applied sanctions to civilian leaders in West Africa who cling to power despite terms limits — what experts refer to as “constitutional coups” — while issuing punishments after military coups.

Meanwhile, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger have forged closer ties with Russia while cutting off military cooperation with the United States, France and other European countries.

Through their new confederation, known as the Alliance of the Sahelian States, the three countries’ leaders vowed to create a joint investment bank and conduct projects in sectors like agriculture, energy and infrastructure — priorities that ECOWAS has been promoting for decades.

The leaders also announced the creation of a joint military force to fight jihadist insurgents who have killed tens of thousands of civilians in the three countries over the past decade."

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR LOCAL PEOPLE?

"Freedom of movement for goods and people between countries is at stake, according to analysts.

For instance, families, traders and their wares have long moved freely across the border between Nigeria and Niger, a populous area of people who share the same ethnic groups and languages. That could change if new visa and customs rules are imposed.

Garba Maina, a 57-year-old trader, sells clothing from Nigeria in Niger and brings back rice, onions and pepper to sell in Nigeria. He called the breakup “a great disadvantage to us doing business along the Nigeria-Niger border.”

And he expressed a fear held by many in the border region.

“We might now need a visa to visit our families living less than 500 meters away from each other,” he said, referring to a distance less than one-third of a mile.

However, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger remain part of a currency union, the CFA zone, that has ensured freedom of movement among its eight members. So for now, experts say, people and goods in those countries would still be able to pass freely.

But that would not include Nigeria, an ECOWAS member that is the region’s most populous nation and one of

Niger’s biggest trading partners, according to the World Bank. Nigeria uses Naira as a currency, while Niger, like many other former French colonies, uses the colonial-era Franc CFA."

HOW ARE OTHER AFRICAN LEADERS RESPONDING?

"In a statement released on Sunday, ECOWAS leaders expressed “disappointment with the lack of progress in engagements” since the three countries announced their intent to withdraw in January.

The bloc was founded in 1975 to promote economic integration in the region. It has now appointed Senegal’s newly-elected president, Bassirou Diomaye Faye, to try to bring the three countries fully back in.

Mr. Faye, 44, is from the same generation as the rulers of Burkina Faso and Mali. He shares some of their Pan-African views and their criticism of Western powers. He is also the only West African head of state to have met with the three leaders in recent months.

Gilles Olakounlé Yabi, founder and president of the West Africa Think Tank known as WATHI, said that although the countries were unlikely to rejoin anytime soon, “Through President Faye, ECOWAS is keeping the door open.”

WHEN WILL THE CHANGES BE FELT?

Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali will still be part of the regional bloc for a year, the legal period of transition after a member nation announces its withdrawal.

So it is unclear when the first consequences might be noticeable — when, for instance, visas could be required between Niger and Nigeria.

“Now we need to see the three governments get the ball rolling in terms of disengagement,” said Idayat Hassan, a Nigeria-based senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “It’s not only about theatrics and rhetoric anymore.”

Mr. Yabi, with the West Africa Think Tank, pointed out that the military rulers had withdrawn from the regional bloc without consulting their populations, in the same way they had taken over their countries.

“These leaders seized power in a coup, and nobody can say how long they will last,” he said. “One important political change in one these countries, and they might be back into ECOWAS.”

He's the tweeter who Helpful gave a link to his tweet last year, when he tweeted that he had it good authority that Red Rock were going to be a big Sunday newspaper tip.

Yes he was lying.

If you look through his old tweets he's either calling Red Rock or Andrew Bell or making things up.

Though this old tweet of his is funny:

I recall the other week Winnifrith had apparently said that running up to the election Bell had been in Clacton posting leaflets in support of Farage.

On the 5th July that was repeated on this forum and Helpful in defence of Bell said:

"Just goes to show you that TW is just as well informed as you are: he wasn't in Clacton. He wasn't even in the country.

DYOR"

..

I'm sure "Helpful" made that up because I don't know about anybody else but I hadn't heard Bell was out of the country.

The mildly interesting thing about Burkina Faso is that it is a landlocked country. So I wonder which country's sea port the cargo would be arriving?
