Well....to know what's happening there you would have to know Kabila or Gertler. But then again....they might be stripped of power. The only thing you can count on is 'the price of cobalt', 'demand', and the guy with the most equipment to get it out of the ground. If you look at Glencore they have $4-$5 billion invested in DRC and they employ over 12,000 Congolese. Do you think they will just be pushed aside? All I can say is the legal head fake recently gave a lot of people another chance to get in Katanga again at .50-.60
No one can guarantee human nature or a cure for ebola....but all things considered the government just wants more money....which I would vote for if I knew the money was getting to the people and not going into a numbered account.
