Kilimanjaro Capital Ltd. Signs Deal for Disputed Offshore Oil in Cabinda CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 19, 2012) - Kilimanjaro Capital Ltd., a private Canadian company focusing on emerging nations in Africa, is pleased to announce that on 17 November 2012 it signed a formal Offshore Oil Assignment Agreement with the Republic of Cabinda. Cabinda's prolific offshore blocks have produced up to 700,000 barrels of crude oil per day and accounts for much of OPEC member Angola's output. The Assignment Agreement grants future rights to the Republic of Cabinda's disputed offshore claims including an ultra deepwater block not previously explored. Angola's licensees' Agip, Total, and Chevron currently operate the concession. Cabinda is a former Portuguese Protectorate. In 1975, Cabinda attained independence but the oil rich territory was invaded by Angola and a 38 year struggle has ensued. Cabinda's current government of President Aphonse Massanga and Premier Joel Batila has focused on civil and political remedies. In 2011, the African Union Commission took jurisdiction over disputed claims to Cabinda's dormant onshore resources. According to the Republic of Cabinda, due to pending shifts in regional geopolitics, self determination could be achieved in a matter of months. Kilimanjaro Capital will immediately be seeking financial, oil and mineral industry partners and has a bold plan to acquire disputed and distressed oil and mineral assets throughout Africa. Kilimanjaro Capital recently signed an agreement for exclusive oil and minerals rights with the Government of Southern Cameroons. www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/19/idUS38264+19-Nov-2012+MW20121119

Mr. Levy;
Cabinda is Africa and as such nothing can be taken at face value. Wikipedia reading is not always helpful but you find that their article is enlightening: quote The Republic of Cabinda(Ibinda: Kilansi kia Kabinda) also called Republique du Kabinda is a former Portuguese protectorate, its government is led by members of the Cabinda civil society and members from the FLEC-FAC who claims sovereignty over the Angolan Cabinda Province as an independent country. The government currently operates in exile with offices located in Paris and Pointe Noire, Congo.
Cabinda was a Portuguese protectorate known as the Portuguese Congo and was administratively separate from the Portuguese West Africa (Angola). During the Portuguese Colonial War period, the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC) fought for the independence of Cabinda from the Portuguese. The independence was proclaimed on 1 August 1975. FLEC formed a provisional government led by Henriques Tiago. Luiz Branque Franque was elected president.[2]
In January 1975, Angola’s three liberation movements (MPLA, FNLA and UNITA) met with the colonial power in Alvor, Portugal, to establish the modalities of the transition to independence, FLEC was not invited. The Alvor Agreement was signed, establishing Angolan independence and confirming Cabinda as part of Angola. After the Angolan independence came in effect in November 1975, Cabinda was invaded by forces of the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) with support of troops from Cuba. The MPLA overthrew the provisional FLEC government and incorporated Cabinda into Angola.
For much of the 1970s and '80s, FLEC operated a low intensity, guerrilla war, attacking the Communist MPLA Regime troops and economic targets and kidnapping foreign employees working in the province’s oil and construction businesses. In July 2006, after ceasefire negotiations, António Bento Bembe – as a president of Cabindan Forum for Dialogue and Peace, vice-president and executive secretary of FLEC – announced that the Cabindan separatist forces were ready to declare a ceasefire. The peace treaty was signed. FLEC-FAC from Paris contends Bembe has no authority or mandate to negotiate with the Angolans and that the only acceptable solution is total independence.
The agreement signed by Antonio Bento Bembe was not recognized by FLEC nor by the Cabinda civil society. unquote
They may think they can sign agreements in Tchiova or shuld I say Paris (since that is their only possible place of meeting) but as far as legalities exist in that area they have no standing.
I would not count on that deal.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN This is a 419 charade of the highest order. Please tell us who is perpetuating this charade and the Republic of Cameroon will round up the cast of characters for Kondengui prison. Anyone peddling this false information should be ready to answer for any unforeseen consequences, including distortion of international capital markets and loses to unwitting investors losing money to the "Kilimanjaro Capital Ltd-Southern Cameroons" scam. Phantom Canadian and American companies have used similar tactics before in announcing non-existent agreements with Bonanza Estates in Cameroon relating to the establishment of an Automotive Assembly Plant and an International Financial Center in Batoke, Limbe. These fake announcements were intended to favour the investment prospects of these companies in Cameroon and attract unwitting investors in Canada and the United States to invest in their non-existent ventures. Due diligence is the watch phrase in dealing with Southern Cameroon fraudsters and their Kilimanjaro Capital Ltd accomplices. While it may be difficult to lay hands on the international financial criminals behind the Kilmanjaro Capital Ltd charade, citizens of Cameroon must remember that they remain at all times under the long arm of their country's law Mukefor Dennis Besong Tambe Investor, London Stock Exchange.

The region contains known petroleum reserves and significant untapped opportunities for gold, diamond, uranium, iron, bauxite, and manganese exploration. The Assignment Agreement grants exclusive rights and covers an area of approximately 43,000 square kilometers including the Northern and Southern Provinces, the Bakassi Peninsula, and future offshore rights. The Government of the Southern Cameroons is a full member of the OEAS in Washington DC, the UNPO in The Hague and claims effective control of the oil rich Bakassi Peninsula. Southern Cameroons is the former United Nations Trust Territory of the British Southern Cameroons (1919-1961). In 1961, Southern Cameroons attained independence and immediately united with La Republique du Cameroun. In 1972, Southern Cameroons was forcibly annexed. A 2009 offer to mediate by the African Union was rejected by la Republique du Cameroun. According to the Government of Southern Cameroons, oil exploration in the disputed Bakassi region could commence in a matter of months along with mineral exploration in other parts of the country. Kilimanjaro Capital Ltd. has indicated it will immediately be seeking financial, oil and mineral industry partners and has a strong plan in the works to acquire similar assets throughout Africa. Zulfikar Rashid, CEO of Kilimanjaro Capital Ltd. said: "We are delighted to be the first company to sign an agreement with the Government of Southern Cameroons.

The Organization of Emerging Africa States (OEAS) is representing independence movements in Biafra, Cabinda, Southern Cameroons, Mthwakazi (Zimbabwe), Lunda (Angola), Dagora (Burkino Faso), Vahvenda (South Africa), and the French Indian Ocean territories (UMMOA) and does not represent any existing power. Their endorsement is not worth much.

A growing number of foreign companies have been pouring money into Africa -- and not only in its blue-chip corporations. Some investors are targeting disputed territories like Puntland, Cabinda and the Southern Cameroons.They want to invest in troubled regions, hoping that their business partners, self-determination movements, will one day turn into bona fide governments. Jonathan Levy, a lawyer who advises companies who want to invest in conflict zones, admits that it's a risky business proposal. He spoke to RFI's Michel Arseneault soundcloud.com/#radiofranceinternationale/jonathanlevy

A part of Sapphire is a ConflictInvestment Network, so its a well known concept, however Cabinda is a pretty difficult matter since this wil not be solved through negotiations

Very interesting discussion. I suggest you take a look at what is currently taking place in Venezuela and what PdVSA is about to do, to increase their oil production. Any interested party, may contact me via private email.

Here is what Mexico is in the process of doing: "Mexico Leader Said to Seek Changes to Break Oil Monopoly." Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto will seek to amend three articles of the constitution to break Petroleos Mexicanos’s monopoly in the state-run oil industry, according to two people with direct knowledge of the bill. Pena Nieto will propose production-sharing contracts for oil exploration and output, according to the people, who asked not to be named because the bill will be officially presented by tomorrow. The proposal will seek to change articles 25, 27 and 28 of the constitution, and tenders for the most part would be managed by government regulators, the people said yesterday.
