News in Brief<\/h1>\n

This week saw heavy fighting in Bujumbura following an attempted <\/span>coup d\u2019etat<\/a> on Wednesday, 13 May, by former intelligence chief Major General Godefroid Niyombare. The attempt was made during the incumbent president\u2019s attendance of an East African Community summit on the crisis in the country and is said to have been backed by a number of senior army and police officials. Whilst apparently welcomed by anti-third term protesters, the attempt was condemned by the <\/span>international community<\/a> and thwarted by loyalist forces by Friday. Concerns about reprisals in the <\/span>wake of the putsch attempt<\/a> have led Western leaders to call for the exercise of restraint. Nkurunziza subsequently sacked his defence and foreign ministers. Seventeen persons are said to have been arrested, and a number of patients were killed as police stormed a hospital in search of men wounded during the coup attempt. <\/span>Protests resumed<\/a> once again on Monday and demands made for the postponement of elections, including from the International Conference of the Great Lakes Region, which relocated its secretariat from the capital. By Thursday, it was announced that <\/span>parliamentary elections<\/a>, due on 26 May, would be postponed until 5 June. 110,000 people are said to have fled Burundi in the course of recent events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the Central African Republic, the Bangui forum has culminated in the signing of a peace pact<\/a> by nine out of ten armed groups attending the talks, including ex-seleka FPRC,UPC and the RPRC, as well as anti-balaka representatives. The agreement seeks the end of hostilities and secure engagement with demobilisation, as well as a revised constitution and the establishment of a Special Criminal Court.<\/p>\n

In the Democratic Republic of Congo this week, North Kivu’<\/a>s Beni Mbau sector was the site of yet another massacre attributed to the ADF on the night of Tuesday 12 May. Thousands of civilians from the area are said to have fled their homes in response to calls from the authorities to relocate from remote areas to within closer proximity of FARDC positions. The Joint UN Office for Human Rights has said that the ADF claimed 237 victims between October and December 2014. MONUSCO has called for joint action against the group. Meanwhile, the FDLR are said to be committing abuses against populations in Lubero territory. In South Kivu<\/a>, the Raia Mutomboki has reportedly kidnapped 17 people in Shabunda territory after clashes between the group and\u00a0the FARDC. In Province Orientale<\/a>, the FARDC has launched an offensive against several FRPI positions in Ituri since Wednesday, 13 May, reporting two militia men dead in the operations. Three hundred FRPI rebels are said to have surrendered to the FARDC and MONUSCO south of Bunia. In Katanga<\/a>, a joint MONUSCO-WFP mission was dispatched to Malemba-Nkulu this week to assess the security and humanitarian situation. Over 30 schools have been destroyed in one groupement by fighting between Mai-Mai Mvuende and the FARDC. Elsewhere, Martin Kobler has expressed shock over the degree of violence between pygmies ad Bantu communities in Nyunzu, with over 200 persons killed, 100 homes burned and 60 women raped over the last five months, causing over 12,000 persons to be displaced.<\/p>\n

Jamil Mukulu<\/b><\/p>\n

Jamil Mukulu – Behind the Many Unanswered Questions<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 17 May 2015 | The Independent (Kampala) | AllAfrica<\/p>\n

The arrest in Tanzania of the elusive Jamil Mukulu, leader of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) should bring to a close almost 20 years of the group’s quiet terror not only in Uganda but in the region. But any sense of excitement over the arrest in in Dar es Salaam in April has been mellowed by unexpected challenges around procedures for his extradition to Uganda. For most Ugandans and the world, the ADF is known by what it did on 9 juni 1998 at Kichwamba National Technical Institute in then-Kaborole district in Western Uganda. On that day, at about 5:30 am, the ADF rebels attacked the school with plans to abduct the students.<\/p>\n

Who Is Jamil Mukulu?<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 17 May 2015 | The Independent (Kampala) | AllAfrica<\/p>\n

Jamil Mukulu was probably 34-years old when he and others set up the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) in 1995 to fight the Uganda government. Mukulu, who was initially a Catholic and critical of the Islam, became a hardliner when he converted after he was exposed to Tabliq Jamaat teachings. He is believed to have spent the early 1990s in Khartoum in Sudan, where he allegedly became close to al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden and several other Islamists who had taken refuge there.<\/p>\n

The ambiguous coup<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 14 May 2015 | Daily Maverick<\/p>\n

While President Pierre Nkurunziza was stuck in Dar es Salaam tweeting up a storm, his former intelligence chief was busy taking over the country. Many welcomed the coup, celebrating in the streets of Bujumbura, but it\u2019s far from clear who (if anyone) actually controls Burundi \u2013 or what it means for the country\u2019s fragile democracy.<\/p>\n

The unfolding crisis of presidential succession in central Africa<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 14 May 2015 | Pambazuka News<\/p>\n

Pierre Nkurunziza is neither the first nor the only head of state in Africa\u2019s Great Lakes region to seek another term of office against provisions of the constitution. Uganda\u2019s Yoweri Museveni orchestrated the removal of term limits from the constitution altogether. DR Congo and Rwanda\u2019s presidents both want an extension of their regimes.<\/p>\n

What Now for Burundi? Five Key Risks<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 14 May 2015 | IRIN | AllAfrica<\/p>\n

Hours before an army general in Burundi announced he had relieved President Pierre Nkurunziza of his duties, a small group of experts were making predictions before a packed audience in Nairobi.<\/p>\n

From ethnicized militarism to militant civilians<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 14 May 2015 | Pambazuka News<\/p>\n

The argument pushed by Nkurunziza and his backers for a third presidential term is unconvincing. This, and the fact that many people have really not enjoyed the fruits of peace under his 10-year rule, is what has galvanized relentless opposition to the regime.<\/p>\n

The protests occurred against a backdrop of sustained political and economic marginalisation by the Nkurunziza regime and widespread fear. Protest leaders successfully tapped into individual discontent and anxieties generated by exclusion and repression by a violent dictatorship.<\/p>\n

No to coup, no to third term<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 14 May 2015 | Pambazuka News<\/p>\n

President Nkurunziza, a former rebel leader, has run Burundi according to the only model he knows: an authoritarian, predatory and aid-dependent regime. But this week’s coup against him must be condemned. The African Union and the continent\u2019s leading nations must support Burundians to attain democracy.<\/p>\n

The Observer view on how Burundi\u2019s fate has lessons across Africa<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 17 May 2015 | The Guardian<\/p>\n

It could be argued that what happens in Burundi does not matter much in the overall scheme of things. But to say so would be wrong. This small central African country, the scene last week of a thwarted military coup, has struggled to establish democratic institutions after a long civil war that ended, not wholly convincingly, in 2005. It was important, and not just for Burundians, that their brittle bid for responsible, accountable self-governance not be hijacked by a bunch of self-interested, bumbling generals, as has happened so often elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Jamil Mukulu – Behind the Many Unanswered Questions<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 17 May 2015 | The Independent (Kampala) | AllAfrica<\/p>\n

The arrest in Tanzania of the elusive Jamil Mukulu, leader of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) should bring to a close almost 20 years of the group’s quiet terror not only in Uganda but in the region. But any sense of excitement over the arrest in in Dar es Salaam in April has been mellowed by unexpected challenges around procedures for his extradition to Uganda. For most Ugandans and the world, the ADF is known by what it did on 9 juni 1998 at Kichwamba National Technical Institute in then-Kaborole district in Western Uganda. On that day, at about 5:30 am, the ADF rebels attacked the school with plans to abduct the students.<\/p>\n

Who Is Jamil Mukulu?<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 17 May 2015 | The Independent (Kampala) | AllAfrica<\/p>\n

Jamil Mukulu was probably 34-years old when he and others set up the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) in 1995 to fight the Uganda government. Mukulu, who was initially a Catholic and critical of the Islam, became a hardliner when he converted after he was exposed to Tabliq Jamaat teachings. He is believed to have spent the early 1990s in Khartoum in Sudan, where he allegedly became close to al-Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden and several other Islamists who had taken refuge there.<\/p>\n
