Imagine the profits if one could pick the winners and losers in Africa’s musical chairs game of changing governments.Morsi (Egypt) and Gbagbo (Ivory Coast) are in prison and Libya’s Gaddafi was torn apart at the hands of a mob and new regimes in their place. Oil rich South Sudan which only arrived last year is in turmoil. Since 2000 alone there have been well over 2 dozen coups, counter coups, revolutions, and civil wars in Africa. Today there are “hot” conflicts in such resource rich countries as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan, Somalia, Mali, Central African Republic and Libya.There are at least a dozen long simmering disputes in Angola, Ethiopia, Egypt, Algeria, Madagascar and Mozambique, to name just a few.

Resources are the name of the game in Africa. Gold, oil, uranium, gas, coltan are the fodder for governments and junior oil and mining companies.But some companies not only explore but hedge their bets by investing in potential emerging governments.Resource insurgencies are well known in Africa but it is less well known that you can invest in them before they happen.

The king of political ventures in Africa is Kilimanjaro Capital KIMJF, a newcomer that arrived with a bang in August 2013 with a listing on the Danish GXG Exchange and now listed on the Pink Sheets (US OTC Markets) KIMJF. Kilimanjaro’s stock is thinly traded but debuted at about $1.30 and is up to $6 with no end in sight as it racks up acquisitions.It has snapped up future oil and mineral rights in Cabinda (Angola), Biafra (Nigeria), and Southern Cameroons from seceding governments.Cabinda and Biafra (Niger Delta) are two of the most prolific oil producers in sub Sahara Africa. Kilimanjaro also has acquired part of a more conventional oil and gas block in Somalia from the Federal Government.The block is supposed to contain billions of BOE; only a small problem, the terrorist Al-Shabaab fighters there must first be removed.If any one of Kilimanjaro’s bets or future acquisitions even hits partially, the returns may well be fabulous.Kilimanjaro’s mantra is to invest where the resources are known to exist but only the governments above ground need to change.The Niger Delta and Cabinda are well known producers and part of Kilimanjaro’s stable of future assets and Nigeria and Angola have been stressed lately by revolts and insurrection; anything can happen in Africa and likely will.

The other main plays are in Somalia and in Western Sahara, where POLISARIO has been fighting Morocco for independence. London listed companies Tower Resources, Ophir Energy OPGYF and Wessex Exploration WSSXF have staked out future claims onshore and offshore.Besides Kilimanjaro in the south, Somalia also has seen many junior oilers in its disputed regions of Somaliland and Puntland including Range Resources RGRYY, Africa Oil Corp AOIFF, Horn Petroleum HPMCF, Genel Energy GEGYF, Red Emperor Resources REMPF, Marauder Resources East Coast. MESNF, DNO International DTNOY, Sterling Energy Plc. STGAF, Ophir Energy Company Limited OPGYF, and Jacka Resources Ltd. JCKRF.

Today a personal mini fund of Kilimanjaro KIMJF and a couple of the other Somalia and Western Sahara plays buys into regime change in Nigeria, Cameroons, Morocco, Angola, and Somalia. A single change in any of those countries could yield massive returns for the companies involved and their shareholders. Who said armchair investing was boring?

beside a cheap a simple hedge, I have this nagging in the back of my head that the "new" government will not abide by the deals they made before in power, I also see conflicts of interest in the beginning of a new state when there was money made pawning rights and assets before the new state was existing and the same people building the new states government.
But anyway, its a gamble...

It is part of the calculus, in Kurdistan and South Sudan there were winners and losers; the deck chairs are being rearranged on a daily basis in Somalia. But the stakes are tremendous. Take uranium for example, it has been largely forgotten that Somalia has 20K tons of the stuff and supplied Iraq and Brazil's nuclear program under Barre regime. Somalia is geologically similar to Saudi in regards to oil and gas which was why the majors were poking all over the place from 1945-1993 when Conoco finally bailed out. Some say they plugged some potentially productive wells in the Sixties because they were not viable then but worth a fortune now. Punters are willing to invest millions in arctic diamond mines that are just a dream yet balk at investing in regime change when the resources are known to exist. Which is riskier? Just a different way of investing.

The problem is the risk, you see there may be a risk in the existence of the diamonds in the arctic but its just exist or does not, like oil exploration, some wells drilled are not worth it, some are, like venture capital, invest in 10, 1 succeeding you make a good return. When investing in these countries and not yet existent governments you know it does exist (the product) but you could be bogged down in multiple risks, first will they come into power, will they stick to the contract, third will the local situation allow use of the contractual rights, fourth will there be political pressure at home as a result of the change of government or fifth as a result of your early investment and sixth will the new government hold you hostage through customs or currency regulations or both, international acceptance be doomed or the enforcement of anti-bribery laws and so on and on. Thats a little bit more than just a hedge and needs a lot of thought.

That's why the leverage is something like like 100,000 to 1. The difference between this and a lottery ticket is that a lottery ticket's value is only what you paid for the ticket but future contingent property under common law is property capable of being valued albeit at a discount.

FUGITIVE SIWELA RAMPS UP SEPARATISM WITH 'GAS DEAL'

Thursday, January 16, 2014 NewsdzeZimbabwe 25

PAUL SIWELA’S Matabeleland Liberation Organisation (MLO) has signed an agreement with a Central American investment firm which deals in natural resources to set up and operate an oil, gas mining company in Matabeleland.

MLO signed the agreement on Tuesday with Kilimanjaro Capital Ltd which is based in Belize City, (a Central American country located at the border with Mexico), following a year of talks, Siwela told Southern Eye yesterday.

In a Press release, Kilimanjaro Capital Ltd said the company would be jointly administered by Kilimanjaro Capital and the MLO.

Siwela said this marks MLO’s total take-over of all economic resources in Matabeleland.
“We are talking of taking over all economic resources in Matabeleland territory. Talks have been going on for more than a year and stand to change the economic face of Matabeleland and give economic resources back to the people of Matabeleland,” Siwela said in an e-mailed response.

Kilimanjaro Capital Ltd focuses on the acquisition, development and management of natural resource assets in Africa.

The company is listed on the Danish GXG Exchange and has obtained a secondary listing on the United States Over The Counter markets exchange as a foreign issuer.
Siwela added the agreement with Kilimanjaro would change the face of Matabeleland.
“The memorandum of agreement shall change the politics of Matabeleland forever and MLO is now taking over the affairs of Matabeleland and will not interfere with Zimbabwe. This means all businesses operating in Matabeleland must know the authority that must give them valid licences to operate in Matabeleland.

“We respect the Zimbabwean border and would not take anything over our borders. Zimbabweans would remain with their land and their government and we would not interfere with that as it is for Zimbabweans to sort their own problems,” he added.

Siwela’s MLO has been leading calls for a separate Matabeleland state saying the province was being sidelined from national development programmes.

MLO says a separate Matabeleland state is necessary to put an end to the marginalisation of the region which lags behind in development. Siwela is currently on the run after skipping bail just before he was due in court to hear whether treason charges against him and his colleagues stood.
He was charged with treason for allegedly planning a violent overthrow of the government.
