ACISA told German broadcaster DW last week that the company was "confident that our lithium project will be resumed after a phase of political calmness and clarification."

The headline is the closing paragraph here. Just a minor coup to grease the skids, and if only Syria/Assad had been so easy.

The story is not current, but lithium coups are rare, and when batteries using that Bolivian lithium are sold and start running, that will be a current event.
