    Focus, please. We were speculating whether there’s an ulterior motive to the US-led airstrikes and while Sokoto in Nigeria may or may not have Cobalt resources, at the moment it doesn’t have a significant Cobalt mining industry (professional or not), mainly because the mining industry in already established places outperforms most new attempts of mineral exploitation by price. I only say this, because we wouldn’t make such claims if it were in North America or Europe (e.g. ‘bombing Prague, to gain control over Alsatia’ or ‘Seattle for San Francisco’)
