The Banro case.
If this is a short war, 2-3 month, and Kabila stands as a winner Banro will have their concessions back along with excuses, but at the present stage maybe it is a well planed move from Kabila to threatened all foreign investors not to cooperate with the enemy, eventhough their holdings are in enemy territory. This is an action taken in a "chicken race" manner. Nobody knows who will win and now Kabila force investors not to talk with the enemy using a junior as a tool. I can understand that point of view, though I am glad that I don't have any shares in Banro.
I think that it should be interpreted as a war action not a measurement of the business climate in the DRC for the time to come. On the contrary I think that we will see a more pragmatic and open standpoint from the gov when peace is there. It is to expensive to do otherwise.

Regards,
Gunnar
