News in Brief<\/h1>\n

In the Democratic Republic of Congo<\/a>, the sentence of the six Lucha militants, who were arrested during pro-democracy protests on February 16, has been reduced from two years to six months imprisonment. In North Kivu<\/a>, officials from Walikale condemned the activities of FDLR and Nyatura rebels in the territory. They accused the militias of killing five people and burning down several houses in Bulindu and Ihula. In Lubero territory, 16 former Mai Mai La Fontaine combatants have surrendered to the FARDC. Unknown assailants are said to have abducted three Congolese aid workers in Lubero on March 2, who were released again this Tuesday. On March 3, the Congolese army and police announced joint operations in Masisi, in order to regain areas that are now occupied by Nyatura and APCLS elements. This Monday armed assailants reportedly attacked two villages in Masisi, killing six people and injuring four others. In Ituri<\/a>, there are reports that the Mai-Mai Simba killed two soldiers and gravely injured a park guard on the Penge mining site on March 4. According to the administrator of Mambasa territory, the rebels also kidnapped five other soldiers and three more guards. Haut-Uele<\/a> on March 7 saw violent clashes between local inhabitants and police officers in Durba near the Kibali goldmine, which resulted in two deaths and several wounded.<\/p>\n

In Burundi<\/a> grenade attacks<\/a> continue, especially in Bujumbura. Last weekend, explosions took place in several places in the capital. On Saturday, March 5, ten people were said to have been injured during attacks in Kinama and Kamenge neighbourhoods. The next day, a grenade exploded in Muramvya, killing one and injuring six others. In Gitega, a man was reportedly found tortured and killed<\/a> on Tuesday morning, March 8, along the Nyabugogo stream. Meanwhile, the UN human rights experts<\/a>, who ended their visit to Burundi that day, announced that they would return soon for further assessment of the country\u2019s situation.<\/p>\n

In Uganda<\/a>, elections still inflate tensions<\/a> between authorities and opposition supporters. Last week, a military crackdown in Wakiso and Masindi allegedly injured ten.

In the eastern Congo, it is difficult to keep up with the plethora of armed groups and their continuing recombinations, reincarnations, and conversions. Over the past two decades of conflict in the eastern Congo, the military landscape has changed dramatically. One group, however, has persisted throughout all of these permutations, and still sits firmly at the nexus of violence in the region: the Forces d\u00e9mocratiques pour la liberation du Rwanda (FDLR) and their stubborn capacity to resist final dismantling.<\/p>\n

Green groups urge DR Congo to keep forest moratorium<\/a><\/u><\/span> | 3 March 2016 | AFP | Phys.org<\/p>\n

A coalition of environmental campaign groups on Wednesday urged the Democratic Republic of Congo to maintain its moratorium on new logging licences to protect its tropical rainforest. The campaigners warned that an area of rainforest twice the size of France was at risk of being cut down if Congo goes ahead with plans to lift the ban on new logging licences, in place since 2002. The 12 organisations said Congo’s Environment Minister Robert Bopolo had recently announced that steps were being taken to lift the moratorium. Bopolo confirmed to AFP the government’s intention to look at the issue in the interests of boosting the country’s finances.<\/p>\n
