Gécamines

On the 31st of December 1966, talks break down, and Mobutu takes it.

From the 1st of January 1967, the Congolese government decides to seize the company's vast copper and cobalt assets in Katanga province, transferring them to a new state-owned firm named Gecomine, later known as Gecamines, to reclaim economic control from foreign colonial interests.

People cheer for this move.

Of course they cheer.
