Dec 22, 2009 Congo (Kinshasa): Militarization of Mining Well-Entrenched
"The illicit exploitation of natural resources is not a new
phenomenon in eastern DRC. It has characterised the conflict since
it first erupted in 1996 and has been well documented by
non-governmental organisations (NGOs), the United Nations Panel of
Experts and Group of Experts, journalists and others. Twelve years
on, the patterns remain the same, and despite abundant evidence of
these activities, no effective action has been taken to stop this
murderous trade." - Global Witness
Dec 22, 2009 Congo (Kinshasa): Conflict Fueled from Many Sources
"Minerals and arms smuggling worth millions of dollars persists in
eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) despite
international sanctions, fuelling rebel strength despite national
army operations, and army and rebel soldiers continue to kill
civilians, according to a new United Nations report that calls on
the Security Council to take action to plug the gaps." - UN News,
reporting on independent Group of Experts on sanctions on DRC
Jan 28, 2009 Congo (Kinshasa): Risky Steps towards Peace
The UN Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) has
announced that it is providing logistical support for the joint
Congolese-Rwandan military operation in eastern Congo, to maximize
protection of civilians and reintegration of rebel forces into the
Congolese national army. MONUC was not informed of the operation in
advance, and there are real fears for the consequences for
civilians. Nevertheless, most observers see the move, reflecting
new agreement between Rwandan and Congolese governments, as a
prerequisite for more fundamental peace-making measures.
