During campaigning, Irro said his party would review a controversial deal to lease landlocked Ethiopia a 20km (12-mile) section of its coastline for 50 years to set up a naval base - an agreement that has caused a diplomatic feud in the region.
Irro has never rejected the deal out of hand, but when discussing it has used diplomatic language, which suggests a change of tack.
Donald Trump is poised to recognise a former British protectorate as an official country, according to a former UK defence secretary who lobbied the president-elect.
Sir Gavin Williamson told The Independent he has held talks with Trump’s team about the official recognition of Somaliland, which holds a crucial strategic position on the Red Sea.
He said he was confident Mr Trump would take up the issue once he assumes office in January.

Obviously if the west recognizes Somaliland going to be pointless for Somalia to continue to oppose a port deal.
The former Tory cabinet minister has been the leading advocate for official recognition of the ex-British protectorate, which has in effect been independent from Somalia since 1991.

Mitsui submitted an offer that’s higher than a rival proposal from Saudi Arabia’s state-backed Manara Minerals Investment Co., the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. The Japanese company is considering buying a roughly 20% interest in First Quantum’s Sentinel and Kansanshi mines for about $2 billion, according to the people. |

There is zero harm in getting real conversations going about making money which is what these boards should be all about.
I can’t agree with that, whilst I accept there is no harm in that, the purpose of the free bb* is for passing the time of day, preferably in an enjoyable manner, imo.
* forum |
Surely one board is enough for you to discuss and you can control that one too which you enjoy? ;) |
Many things in this life suprise... |
Sadly this board got far too one sided and no counter opinion was tolerated but we stood strong ;) As Rob says we know the fors and againsts. There is zero harm in getting real conversations going about making money which is what these boards should be all about. Sadly most boards are biased ramp fests and don't really help anybody. ;) |
I am rather surprised you have Scottie's permission!
Or is it merely by default - which, of course, doesn't really count? |
Agreed. Looking at some USA bluechips.... Anyone interested? |
Sadly we can't change the thread heading but we decided with Scottie's permission we could chat about anything generally helpful in addition to Kefi ;) |
Might as well chill a bit till the next bit of kefi news as the pro and cons have been done to death anyway both here and elsewhere and its obvious we are in wait and see mode again. |
I wasn't trying to "dictate" anything. I was merely looking at the thread heading. |
Remember this became a freedom of speech board 18 months ago ;) |
And what, pray, has all that to do with Kefi? |
numbers can hardly be biased ... they are either correct or incorrect... why not you provide a "neutral" source to counter act it ?
Techcrunch is hardly political mouthpiece...
here are the numbers..
Cost: Musk paid $44 billion to acquire Twitter in October 2022
Valuation: Fidelity, a mutual fund that was instrumental in the acquisition, has repeatedly cut its valuation of X: In August 2024, Fidelity estimated that X was worth $9.4 billion, which is about one-fifth of what Musk paid
This is a 79% decline from the $19.66 million that Fidelity estimated the shares were worth in October 2022
Revenue: X's revenue has been declining:
55% year-over-year decrease in monthly revenue for each of the past 12 months
78% year-over-year decrease in revenue in December 2023
decline in the number of Ebiquity clients advertising on X
Counting the cost: X’s $5.9bn in lost ad revenue since its 2022 takeover

TechCrunch is not a neutral source, you need better sources to make a judgement |
I will just keep this here for safekeeping.

Thanks @goatherd.
My very rough calculations suggest that if I bought a million shares now then I could get back more than the cost in dividends in one year. |
Think the whole thing is a bit of a sideshow when we have TK a a hundreds of million dollar project Saudi tens of millions with a possible divestment.
Noticed some flailing around by the usual suspects as they realize that kefi will get cashed up on possible Saudi divestment and TK looks like it will get over the line.
To put it in perspective even if kefi lost the case and then had to pay out the full amount claim its only five million and only then on full TK launch.
for instance
"benchmarking these metrics against recent transactions, suggests a valuation of KEFI’s 15% stake in Gold and Minerals of US$50-78m.
Upside scenarios based on a 15% increase in resources at each project could underpin a valuation range of US$67-89m." Just the likely upgrade is more than the amount than a worst case outcome let alone the principle. 15 percent probably a worst case as well. |

Quite remarkable.
One wonders how these POS keep going for years longer than they ever should, then you read some of the comments from holders (LTH, natch) and all becomes instantly clear. |
Superior knowledge?
It is a cut and paste. |
Rob, Bow to your superior knowledge on this case and thanks for sharing. If indeed the case is predicated on full sign off ( not just 2nd bank approvals), and is set for 4th Dec. Should we assume all will be done by then. Otherwise someone is spending lots of time and money for the case to be thrown out on the first day? |
Agreed! Folk can criticise him all they like... business re twitter I don't think was his priority, it was more about making the rules and why not lol Not many men can put a rocket up there like Musk does and anyone anti establishment good with me! Fk em. Doge to $1.25 minimum - I'm maybe a few dollars out as well lolUSA pay down their debt with bitcoin and all good! Nobody see whats really going on here?! I always said to everybody on this board "Follow da money"!!! Don't get me wrong , it'll collapse again like it always does but not yet . Lol |
he doesnt own it outright... Banks can call in the $13b debt if it fails to service the debt. in the same way you don't own a house that's on mortgage.. you might like to say you do.. but ultimately the bank owns it. |
"There is a pending legal case against the Company for an amount of GBP 5.1 million from a claimant, Demissie Asafa Demissie (the "Claimant"). The Company believes the claim for successful provision of financial advisory services is spurious and without merit.
Nonetheless, the amount claimed can only be payable on successful closing of the Tulu Kapi Project finance, which has yet to occur."
Yeah anyone would struggle to explain what kind of financial advisory services were worth that kind money. |
