Uganda feels the strain of the Burundi crisis<\/a><\/u> | 11 January 2016 | IRIN<\/p>\n

For the past three years, the war raging across Uganda\u2019s northern border in South Sudan has been pushing its refugee-hosting abilities to breaking point. But it is now the simmering violence to the south in Burundi that could tip the situation over the edge. Uganda is sheltering 173,747 South Sudanese who have fled the war being waged between supporters of the country\u2019s President Salva Kiir and Vice President Riek Machar, and now 18,427 Burundian refugees have crossed its southern border, according to the UN\u2019s refugee agency, UNHCR.<\/p>\n

A Democratic Republic of Congo official says the country is taking seriously allegations that several of its soldiers deployed as peacekeepers in the Central African Republic committed rape.

The Democratic Republic of Congo has a battalion of about 800 soldiers and 123 police officers with the U.N. mission in the Central African Republic, known as MINUSCA. Last August three soldiers in that battalion were accused of raping three female civilians, including one minor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oil and Gas Sector – Which Way for Uganda?<\/a><\/u> | 11 January 2016 | The Independent | AllAfrica<\/p>\n

2015 was a year the oil industry worldwide wants to forget in a hurry. By the time the year wound up, the average price for a barrel of crude oil had sunk to an all time low of $40 from the more desirable $115 that it cost in June 2014. Both local and international experts say 2016 will not be any different. As of Jan.04, the price of crude oil had further sunk to $37.04 (West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil) and $37.28 (Brent Crude Oil) according to Oil-price.net. Uganda is yet to pump and export its oil onto the international market but prices remain relevant to the local industry as many investment decisions by the companies hinge on the performance of the oil price.<\/p>\n

Congo delays ban on copper and cobalt concentrate exports<\/a><\/u> | 13 January 2016 | Mining Weekly<\/p>\n

Democratic Republic of Congo has again delayed a ban on exports of copper and cobalt concentrate because it lacks enough electricity to process the minerals domestically, the mines ministry and chamber of mines said on Tuesday. Congo, which leads Africa in copper output and the world in cobalt production, first ordered the ban in 2013 in a bid to encourage local industry to shift production to higher-value finished metals. But about 30 percent of the metals continue to be exported in concentrate form. This December, the government extended an exemption set to expire at the end of 2015 by one year, the vice-president responsible for mining in the Federation of Congolese Businesses, Simon Tuma-Waku, told Reuters. \u00ab\u00a0It has been extended because the problem of electricity has not been resolved yet,\u00a0\u00bb Tuma-Waku said.

Dologuele and Touadera to contest CAR run-off<\/a><\/u> | 7 January 2016 | BBC News<\/p>\n

Two ex-prime ministers in the Central African Republic will contest a run-off after no candidate gained 50% in the first round of presidential elections, officials have said. Anicet Georges Dologuele, who came first with 24%, will face Faustin Touadera, who got 19%, on 31 January. Last week, more than a million people took part in the first presidential election since a coup in March 2013. The country has since been wracked by conflict along religious lines. Twenty of the 30 candidates vying to replace interim leader Catherine Samba-Panza had earlier this week complained of irregularities and called for the count to be halted. But many of them were persuaded by the transitional government to withdraw their complaints, and the constitutional court will have to look into the remaining grievances.<\/span><\/p>\n
