Hello DJ,

Thank you for your response and the URL. You are absolutely right. That was a very irresponsible article. It is rehashing the past (including the murder of an unfortunate man) and stating the obvious. Everybody knows what the situation is like in Angola. Nothing new. When it comes to the plane crash, more than likely that plane crashed because of a mechanical failure (If I am not wrong, the pilot reported one of the engines was on fire before it crashed). To make the matters worse, it seems like the plane belonged to a company called "Southern Air" (I guess a local airline) and some people assumed that that was a "Southern Era" plane. No connection whatsoever. Also, I have confirmed with SUF that they have not spent $20M on Camafuga. That figure was for all of the Angolan projects. Most of that money has been recovered already from the diamond sales that came out of the two other Angolan projects.

I guess it is up to SUF and us share holders to let FP know that this kind of reporting is not beneficial to anybody including THEMSELVES.

Regards,

Bozkurt

DiamondJim: I agree with you; poorly written story... must be a boring day at FP! He even has the facts wrong in that plane crash... Obviously the reporter (who doesn't have a good track record as far as accuracy is concerned) didnt even read the wire story from AP as I posted it yesterday.... at least 28 or 29 dead, not 19, for starters. As for his other suppositions, well, as I said ... it must have been a boring day and he needed to meet his quota of stories...
Cheers.Goalie.
