Dec 21, 2011 Congo (Kinshasa): Dubious Mandate, Uncertain Future
Joseph Kabila was inaugurated for his second term as
president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo on
December 20, with representation from Western countries
limited to ambassadorial level. African countries, including
Congo's neighbors, were represented at prime minister or
foreign minister level, with Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe the
only foreign head of state in attendance. But despite
unresolved doubts about massive fraud in the election, the
"international community" (both African and non-African) is
unlikely to mobilize any significant pressure to reexamine
the results.
Nov 29, 2011 Congo (Kinshasa): Election Background Analysis
"Widespread discontent with the current regime and the
longing for radical change do explain the great popularity
of Etienne Tshisekedi, leader of the Union for Democracy and
Social Progress (UDPS), DRC's oldest opposition party,
established in 1982. ... [His] message has been warmly
received because it reflects the deepest aspirations of the
majority of Congolese. Faced with this formidable
challenge, the Kabila regime is doing its best to win the
election through violence and intimidation." - Georges
Nzongola-Ntalaja
Aug 2, 2010 USA/Africa: New Evidence on Lumumba Death
"A 1975 U.S. Senate investigation of alleged CIA assassinations
concluded that while the CIA had earlier plotted to murder Lumumba,
he was eventually killed 'by Congolese rivals. It does not appear
from the evidence that the United States was in any way involved in
the killing.' It is now clear that that conclusion was wrong." -
Stephen R. Weissman, author of new article "An Extraordinary
Rendition"
