MONUSCO has welcomed the appointment of Brigadier General Marcel Mbangu as the new head of the Sokola I operation<\/a> this week \u2013 a move forming part of a number of operational changes to the counter-ADF offensive. In North Kivu<\/a>, Monday 2 June saw ten dead, including four civilians, in clashes between rival Mai-Mai factions, causing considerable displacement from the Waloa-Uroba groupement, Walikale. In the Ihanan groupement abuses against civilians during fighting between NDC factions and the Raia Mutomboki over control of the area has likewise displaced hundreds of households.

Province Orientale<\/a> saw the launch of a joint FARDC\/MONUSCO offensive against the FRPI on 3 June following the collapse of talks with the group. The operation made quick gains in dislodging the rebels from Aveba, 70km from Bunia, on the same day. Fighting between these forces has seen over 10,000 displaced from Walendu Bindi. Meanwhile, FARDC positions south-west of Bunia were attacked by suspected Mai-Mai Simba rebels in the middle of last week, whilst Tuesday, 9 June, saw a brief incursion of Ugandan forces at Ovo, Aru territory, where 12 houses were destroyed by these troops on the basis that they had been constructed in a neutral zone between the two countries. Fourty-six persons were convicted of sexual offences in Bunia this week as the justice authorities cleared a backlog of over 60 such cases.<\/p>\n

African Capacity for Immediate Response to Crises<\/b><\/p>\n

Will ACIRC survive the AU Summit?<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 10 June 2015 | Institute for Security Studies<\/p>\n

It has been operational for just under a year, but the future of the African Capacity for Immediate Response to Crises (ACIRC) is already in doubt. A question likely to be discussed at the African Union (AU) summit in Johannesburg is how the controversial peacekeeping force can be incorporated into existing AU structures \u2013 or whether to keep it alive at all.<\/p>\n

Analysts say it is unlikely that a decision will be made at the summit to scrap ACIRC entirely, given the urgent need for such a force and the fact that it is an initiative spearheaded by South Africa.<\/p>\n

The world wrongly gambled on peace without justice in Burundi, says transitional justice expert<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 3 June 2015 | International Justice Tribune<\/p>\n

Over the last month, Burundi has hit the headlines as the president put himself forward to be elected for a controversial third term, resulting in street protests, thousands of refugees who fled instability and an attempted coup. Behind the issues of elections and constitutionalism are also those of justice following Burundi\u2019s long-running civil war. The international community supported an intensive process of negotiation and the signing of the Arusha Accord in 2000. But in the decade and a half since, its provisions on justice have been debated though never fully implemented.<\/p>\n
