News in Brief<\/h1>\n

As the UN continues to express its concern about the 2016 elections in the DRC, newly appointed head of MONUSCO<\/a> Maman Sambo Sidikou wishes to revive cooperation between peacekeepers and the FARDC in tracking down FDLR rebels in the east of the country. Meanwhile, diplomatic relations<\/a> between Burundi and Rwanda remain strained.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the presence of FDLR rebels created panic in North Kivu<\/a>. The militia reportedly killed over six people during three attacks in the vicinity of Beni. The FARDC has called for collaboration between military forces and the local population. Police apprehended Muhindo Safari Gr\u00e2ce, leader of the Ma\u00ef-Ma\u00ef Shetani, last Wednesday. North Kivu\u2019s provincial governor claims peacekeepers have killed five civilians during a helicopter attack last Thursday. The UN refutes these allegations. In South Kivu<\/a>, Ra\u00efa Mutomboki leader Kabe Sanga surrendered to the authorities last Friday, together with 20 other members of the militia. Meanwhile, inhabitants of Muti-Kavumu in Kabare territory accuse military and police officials of armed robberies. When civil society called for an all-out strike in protest of this situation, clashes between police and civilians erupted. In Province Orientale<\/a>, two soldiers and two guards were ambushed and killed by poachers in Garamba park. Another ambush on the road between Bunia and Kasenyi was prevented by the Congolese military. About 50 Ma\u00ef-Ma\u00ef Bataka surrendered to the authorities in Katanga<\/a>, while Pygmy and Luba communities are being reported to have put a peaceful end to their conflict.<\/p>\n

Burundi<\/a> saw several armed attacks<\/a> last week, the gravest of which occurred in Bujumbura, where at least six people died. On October 9, unknown assailants killed Pascal Nshimirimana, son in law of human rights organisation chief Pierre-Claver Mbonimpa (APRODH), in a drive-by shooting. That same day, police shot down seven bandits who had robbed the Banque de Cr\u00e9dit de Bujumbura (BCR), killing a policeman, a bank employee and a client. Evidence of extrajudicial killings<\/a> in the country continues to surface, with approximately 130 reported cases in three months. This week, bodies were found in several quarters in Bujumbura and along the Muzazi river.<\/p>\n

In the Central African Republic<\/a>, MINUSCA peacekeepers and French Sangaris forces launched a military operation against ex-Seleka militiamen of the FPRC, who set out to destabilise and capture the capital Bangui. Meanwhile in Uganda<\/a>, the opposition deplores police brutality<\/a> against its members, accusing president Museveni of instigating violence ahead of the 2016 elections. Earlier this week, leading female opposition member Zaina Fatuma was forcibly stripped of her clothes and arrested by police officers.<\/p>\n

Rwanda-Burundi Relations Face Further Strain<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> | 10 October 2015 | The EastAfrican | AllAfrica<\/span><\/p>\n

Diplomatic tensions between Rwanda and Burundi appeared set to escalate as the two countries once again traded accusations over the former’s alleged backing of Burundian opposition members who are allegedly plotting to overthrow the Bujumbura government. While by press time Kigali had yet to retaliate for Bujumbura’s decision this week to expel D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Nyaruhirira, the first counsellor at the Rwandan embassy in Burundi who has served the mission for the past 10 years for allegedly creating insecurity in the country, relations between the two countries are expected to worsen in the coming months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Relations Between Burundi, Rwanda Deteriorating<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> | 14 October 2015 | Vpice of America<\/span><\/p>\n

Burundi has been dealing with unrest on and off since April when President Pierre Nkurunziza launched his bid for a third term. But the conflict isn\u2019t just internal. Tensions with neighboring Rwanda have steadily been on the rise.
