News in Brief<\/h1>\n

This week, the UN Security Council<\/a> and the African Union<\/a> expressed their concern about the increase in violence in the Central African Republic, threatening sanctions against actors undermining stability and security in the country. Meanwhile, the UNHCR<\/a> office has condemned continuing abuses by Ugandan police against opposition members, calling for investigations into and accountability for perpetrators.<\/p>\n

In North Kivu<\/a>, ADF rebels reportedly killed a woman, injured three soldiers and abducted two others in Oicha. Earlier this week, Minister for Decentralisation, Salomon Banamuhere, and provincial governor, Julien Paluku, visited Oicha to inquire about the local security conditions, concluding that the military was in control of the situation. Nevertheless, a sense of insecurity persists in Beni, with transporters asking the Congolese army to escort their vehicles on the Oicha-Luna axis, and civil society calling upon the population not to pay their taxes in protest against the security situation. In Rutshuru territory, several robberies and kidnappings have been attributed to 34 prisoners, who escaped from jail on October 9. Meanwhile in Province Orientale<\/a>, four Doctors Without Borders (MSF) personnel were robbed and assaulted by armed FRPI militiamen in Walendu Bindi. In Haut Uele, the population is said to live in fear due to LRA activities in the area. Last weekend, FARDC general Emmanuel \u201cKakolele\u201d Bwahambele, accused of organising armed Ma\u00ef-Ma\u00ef groupings, was arrested and transferred to the capital. In Kinshasa<\/a>, a group of armed men attacked the residence of opposition member Mo\u00efse Moni Della (RCDN), terrorising his family and children.<\/p>\n

Burundi<\/a>\u2019s opposition also continues to be the target of assaults. On October 17, the body of opposition member Charlotte Umugwaneza<\/a> (MSD) was found near Gikoma river, after she had disappeared a day earlier. Several other extrajudicial killings<\/a> were reported in Bujumbura and Bubanza province. One officer was killed and another injured, when armed men attacked a police post in Musaga. Meanwhile, opposition members in Uganda<\/a> continue to experience abuse<\/a> from national police ahead of the 2016 elections. Last week, key figures of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party were arrested and journalists, who reported on their activities, beaten.<\/p>\n

Violence erupted again last week in the Central African<\/a> capital, Bangui. On Thursday, three people were killed and a dozen others injured during clashes between PK5 and anti-balaka militias. Anti-balaka elements reportedly also ambushed and robbed UN police officers near the capital on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Kasumbalesa’s heterogenite floods the market<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> | 20 October 2015 | Africa Mining Intelligence<\/span><\/p>\n

Dramatic circumstances have sprung up in the cobalt sector at Kasumbalesa in upper Katanga where a reserve of heterogenite was discovered in late August. Events are being seen as some of the initial fallout from the resignation of Katanga\u2019s powerful governor, Moise Katumbi, last month. Illicit mining of the reserve on the concession owned by Sodimico (Societe de Developpement Industriel et Minier du Congo) without the least supervision has led to regular cave-ins on shafts dug to a depth of 80 meters, killing between 30 and 50 diggers each week, according to our sources in trading circles. Official figures are far below that. The authorities want to avoid any unrest and thus allow the diggers to continue with their dangerous work. Roughly 600 tons of cobalt ore (with a grading varying from 10 to 20%) is produced on the reserve each month and sold at a discount to unscrupulous wholesalers, who send it on to China.<\/p>\n

Hon So wins Kabila over on Kamoa issue<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> | 20 October 2015 | Africa Mining Intelligence<\/span><\/p>\n

According to our sources in Kinshasa it was thanks in part to Chinese billionaire Hon So that an agreement was reached concerning the Kamoa company last month. Hon acquired a 1% stake in Kamoa Holding by injecting $8 million into the company. The dispute over Kamoa arose following the acquisition of 49.5% of Kamoa Holding by China\u2019s Zijin Mining and concerned the Kinshasa government\u2019s share in Kamoa Copper SA, an affiliate that controls the giant copper project.<\/p>\n

Significant Endorsement of Rwanda Mining Forum<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 19 October 2015 | CAJ News | AllAfrica<\/span><\/p>\n

More than 250 industry experts and stakeholders will next month gather in Kigali for the Infrastructure Partnerships for African Development (iPAD) Rwanda’s Mining Forum. Scheduled for November 5-6, the event will focus on establishing modern and investor friendly legal and regulatory framework. The second edition of iPAD Rwanda enjoys high-level support from the government and parastatals, organisers said. iPAD Rwanda is organised by Spintelligent, a leading Cape Town-based trade exhibition and conference organiser, and the African office of Clarion Events Ltd, based in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

Dr Vincent Biruta, Rwanda’s Minister of Natural Resources will address the special Mining Forum during the iPAD Rwanda Power & Infrastructure Investment Forum during November in Kigali. “The most exciting project currently happening in the Rwandan mining sector is the transformation of the industry from an artisanal-mining dominated industry to a well-planned professional and mechanized industry,” he said in the statement in the run-up to the Forum. Dr. Biruta is expected to give the government’s five year strategic plan to position the country as a mining investment destination.<\/p>\n

Total, Tullow Differ On Choice of Oil Route<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 17 October 2015 | The EastAfrican | AllAfrica<\/span><\/p>\n

Oil companies Total and Tullow agree with the Ugandan government on low tariffs for the transportation of the crude oil through a pipeline, but they differ over the choice of route. Tullow Oil has no objection to the northern route (Hoima-Lokichar-Lamu Port) as proposed by the Kenya government, but Total has raised concerns over the route, while China National Offshore Oil Company (CNOOC) is neutral. The differences were clear last week when Tullow and CNOOC skipped a ceremony for the signing of a Memorandum of understanding (MoU) paving the way for a feasibility study on the southern route through Tanzania’s Tanga port.<\/p>\n

Land Disputes Derail Energy Projects<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 19 October 2015 | The Observer | AllAfrica<\/span><\/p>\n

Unclear land ownership and the conflicts it brews is derailing the construction of energy projects in the country, a new report from the ministry of energy reveals. The report warns that more Ugandans will take long before they access electricity unless solutions are found for some of the issues within the land system. “Acquisition of land and way-leaves for construction projects has proved to be horrendous. It has significantly increased project costs and in some cases led to delays in project implementation,” the report reads in parts.<\/p>\n

Democratic Republic of Congo Plans to Water Down Laws Against Mining Corruption<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 20 October 2015 | Global Witness | AllAfrica<\/span><\/p>\n

Global Witness today warns that Democratic Republic of Congo is planning to remove crucial regulations banning politicians and senior army figures from owning mining rights, as business leaders and government officials gather in Kinshasa to discuss the mining industry. The removal of vital terms on conflict of interest has so far passed almost unnoticed, but coupled with extremely loose transparency provisions, could leave Congo’s mining sector open to corrupt deals and cost the country billions of dollars.<\/p>\n

Findings of an assessment of mining activities in Muhanga and Ruhango districts released last week show that Nyabarongo River is heaped with sand mainly from the mining activities. The sand, according to the findings, hampers the flow of waters and is affecting the Nyabarongo Hydropower dam. The findings, presented at a meeting between the Ministry of Natural Resources and miners in Muhanga District, also show that there are many illegal miners in the sector.<\/p>\n

The Dirty Secret Behind Kigali’s Clean Streets<\/a><\/span><\/span> | 15 October 2015 | Human Rights Watch | AllAfrica<\/p>\n

There is a dirty secret behind the sparkling veneer of Rwanda’s capital, Kigali. Local residents call it Kwa Kabuga, and government officials call it the Gikondo Transit Center. Whatever name is used, the reality is the same. It’s a place where Kigali’s “undesirables” – street vendors, sex workers, homeless people and beggars – are taken, beaten and arbitrarily detained. Their offense, they are told, is they make the city look dirty. Gikondo Transit Center is an unofficial detention center managed by the City of Kigali and run by the police.<\/p>\n
