As\u00a0UN Special Envoy to the Great Lakes Region<\/a>, Mary Robinson, comes to the end of her 9 day tour of the region she has reportedly re-emphasised the need to see the UN Intervention Brigade as a mere supplement to the true political work required to bring stability to the region. The\u00a0M23\u00a0<\/a>continues to posture over the Brigades imminent arrival, this week sending a letter to the Tanzanian State threatening to target the country\u2019s troops if it proceeds with contributing forces to the multinational intervention force. Officials report that at least 519 M23 elements have reintegrated into the FARDC since May 2012.
\nIn the DRC the UN enquiry into the events surrounding November 2012\u2019s seizure of Goma by the M23 have now culminated in a\u00a0report detailing widespread sexual violence<\/a>\u00a0by both the FARDC and the M23, with nearly 200 recorded case of rape and 13 arbitrary executions. Meanwhile in\u00a0North Kivu<\/a>\u00a0the start of May saw heavy fighting in Pinga between the APLCS and NDC militias, with normality apparently restored by Saturday. In\u00a0South Kivu<\/a>\u00a0a MONUSCO convoy was attacked by unknown assailants, killing one Pakistani peace keeper and sparking an investigation into the incident, whilst in\u00a0Katanga<\/a>armed bandits are reported to be causing insecurity on the outskirts of the city with robbing\u2019s and killings at night.
\nThe\u00a0Central African Republic<\/a>\u00a0continues to experience significant insecurity this week, as ministers met in Congo Brazzaville to discuss the restoration of stability in the country. In Ndjamena (Chad) Heads of State called for the creation of a special fund to finance transition to democracy in the CAR and Nicolas Tiangaye has reportedly appealed to France to support the Central African Multilateral Force to be deployed in a bid to secure Bangui.<\/p>\n
