Lol! They are truly crazy people down there, thats for sure. Two norwegians are held on trial for a murder of a taxi driver. Who knows, they might have done it, but how it ended up in a 500 billion dollar claim is just incredible.
I wish I could translate the whole article for you guys, but the government think they are spyes, and now they are demanding an explanation from our King! =D

Very interesting story, inv - thanks for telling us about it!
Perhaps things aren't necessarily so black and white about the situation? : http://www.privatemilitaryherald…
The ludicrous $500 Billion dollar claim is probably based around Norway's Petroleum Fund (set to reach $500B by the year's end), which if you choose to make a speculation, hints at what the Congolese Government thinks are Norway's intentions in the region.
- Actually,sorry - I don't know what I thought was 'black and white' about the situation. A big grey mess is what it is.detritus
