News in Brief<\/h1>\n

As the EU suspended its election monitoring mission<\/a> to Burundi last week and the catholic church announced the withdrawal of its assistance for the organisation of the forthcoming elections, protests resumed on the streets of Bujumbura on Thursday, 28 May. The police response to demonstrations<\/a>, which has included the firing of live ammunition, continues to be condemned by rights groups, who highlight the death of at least 20 civilians since the start of the crisis and the excessive use of force by State authorities. As UN brokered dialogue between the opposing parties closed without agreement on Friday, diplomatic focus shifted to the East African Community<\/a>, where leaders called upon Burundi to postpone local and parliamentary elections for at least 6 weeks. Dissatisfied with the EAC response, which failed to address the issue of a third term, protesters continued to demonstrate over the weekend with a short pause on Monday. As two of five Independent Electoral Commission board members tendered their resignation<\/a> to flee abroad this week, the body resolved to delay the forthcoming vote<\/a>, due on Friday, 5 June \u2013 a move welcomed by opposition campaigners.<\/p>\n

In the DRC, North Kivu<\/a> this week saw an attack by unknown gunmen on Goma airport on Tuesday morning leave several dead and prompt numerous arrests. Looting by FDLR elements was reported on Sunday night in Nyirangongo. In Bondo territory, Province Orientale<\/a>, residents fled their homes since Friday amidst alarm over LRA abuses in the locality. Aveba in Irumu has likewise seen significant displacement since Thursday following clashes between the FARDC and the FRPI, who are said to have regrouped in the locality, though have since been dislodged by the FARDC. In Katanga<\/a>, a series of conflicts between Bantu and Pygmy communities in Manono territory claimed four lives at the weekend. Meanwhile, in Equateur<\/a>, inter-communal tensions in a dispute over fishing rights on the Momboto river have prompted the intervention of provincial authorities after the stabbing of a local chief and the burning of 50 homes in Bosomelo nearly two weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Violent retaliatory inter-communal clashes<\/a> were once again reported in Bangui this week killing two last Wednesday and Thursday and triggering further gunfire. The French Sangaris<\/a> operation has announced plans to further reduce its troop presence to between 600 and 900 soldiers following a rise in MINUSCA numbers.\u00a0Meanwhile, the UN came under more fire this <\/span><\/span>week after further documentation came to light regarding its handling of CAR child sex abuse allegations<\/a> at a senior level. Ban Ki Moon announced his intention to establish an independent review of the UN\u2019s handling of the claims, as rights groups alleged that the abuse was known about at a high level but ignored by officials.<\/p>\n

Global Witness<\/a> released a report this Wednesday stating that the DRC\u2019s biggest logging companies are systematically violating national laws to plunder Congo’s forests, with European and US executives potentially facing sanction for trading with such companies.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

London-based Global Witness said in a report that none of Congo’s 87 million euros ($97 million) of timber production appeared to comply with international timber trade laws.<\/p>\n

Swiss decision to close Argor case encourages \u201chead in the sand\u201d attitude<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 2 June 2015 | Conflict Awareness Project, Open Society Justice Initiative & TRIAL<\/p>\n

The Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland (OAGS) decided not to further prosecute the Swiss precious metals company Argor-Heraeus SA, that handled dirty African gold. While Swiss authorities acknowledged that Argor did refine looted gold and violated its duty of diligence, the case was nonetheless closed, a decision met with disbelief by the three NGOs working on the case. Together with Conflict Awareness Project (CAP), the Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI) supported a legal complaint filed in November, 2013 by TRIAL (Track Impunity Always), in which the Swiss NGO accused Argor of illegally processing over three tones of pillaged gold from the Democratic Republic of Congo. According to the NGOs, this decision undermines international efforts to eliminate the illegal resource trade that fuels conflicts around the world.<\/p>\n

Swiss gold refinery\u2019s role in pillaged gold goes unpunished<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 2 June 2015 | Berne Declaration (BD)<\/p>\n

The Swiss Federal Prosecutor\u2019s Office (FPO) has decided to terminate criminal proceedings opened in October 2013 against the Swiss refinery, ArgorHeraeus SA, denounced by the NGO, TRIAL, for having refined dirty gold originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Nevertheless, the FPO did acknowledge the problematic origin of the gold. This incomprehensible impunity illustrates the need to require Swiss companies to ascertain the origin of the products in which they trade.<\/p>\n
