EDITORIAL<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The Rwandan capture of a Congolese soldier in what is said to have been neutral territory between Rwanda and the DRC caused a stir this week, taking place days after a grenade attack on Kigali, though ending in the combatant\u2019s repatriation. As\u00a0legislative elections<\/a>\u00a0saw Kagame\u2019s RPF retain its grip on power with a 76% victory, the Rwandan legislature\u2019s seats filled with women parliamentarians who now represent 64% of the Rwandan electorate.In the\u00a0Central African Republic<\/a>\u00a0200 reinforcements are reported to have arrived to support FOMAC efforts, though full deployment of an African led force is not expected before next year. In the meantime, Djotodia has formally disbanded the Seleka rebel group, as reverberations continue to be felt in respect of the violence visited upon communities in the north and northwest of the country.<\/p>\n

The UN Security Council has expressed continued concern about security in eastern DRC. In\u00a0Kampala<\/a>\u00a0three days into talks between the DRC and the M23 the respective delegations had yet to meet face-to-face, raising concerns about their ability to meet the 14 day deadline set by the ICGLR for a culmination of the negotiations. Meanwhile, the DRC\u2019s\u00a0national consultations<\/a>\u00a0have been beset by disagreement over the participation of armed groups from the east, with 11 such groups, including the Raia Mutomboki, APCLS, and Mai-Mai Simba, formally demanding the ability to attend.Whilst hostilities between the FARDC and the M23 have not resumed on the ground the rebels are reported in local press to be committing abuses in Rutshuru and high levels of insecurity in Goma have led to the establishment of six more police offices through the city. Indeed, further afield in\u00a0North Kivu<\/a>\u00a0MONUSCO reports that the security situation in Pinga remains deplorable and the Mai-Mai Simba are said to have killed eight hostages in the mining region of Angoa. FARDC has regained control of five villages in Lubero following their occupation by the FDLR and Mai-Mai elements. In\u00a0Katanga<\/a>, 60 Mai-Mai have threatened to attack Kinkonda if the local authorities fail to release the group\u2019s leader , whilst in Lubumbashi between four and seven people have been reported killed by soldiers occupying Vangu military camp following an altercation during an extortion attempt by the troops. In\u00a0Province Orientale<\/a>, 100 men said to be following one Thomas Mesandu are reportedly occupying Lowa.\u00a0In\u00a0Uganda<\/a>, the head of the country\u2019s intelligence services has defected accusing President Museveni of abusing his position vis-\u00e0-vis the national army, whilst in the\u00a0EU sanctions on a Zimbabwean diamond company<\/a>\u00a0reputed to trade in the country\u2019s blood diamonds have been lifted.<\/p>\n

Ivory beyond the LRA: why a broader focus is needed in studying poaching<\/a>\u00a0| 17 September 2013 | African Arguments
\nBy Kristof Titeca
\nRecently, a lot of attention has been paid to the LRA\u2019s involvement in ivory trade. This was sparked off by the Enough report \u2018Kony\u2019s ivory\u2019 released in June, which described the LRA\u2019s ivory activities in Garamba Park, North-Eastern DRC. The report was followed by a range of articles highlighting how \u2018tusks fund terror\u2019; and further elaborated in other reports. All of these highlight how the LRA \u201cgains vital resources through its participation in the illegal ivory trade\u201d \u2013 as the Enough report summarized (p.11). Yet, narrowing down the ivory problem in and around Garamba Park to the LRA is problematic for several reasons.<\/p>\n

Armed Poachers Cost Region Millions<\/a>\u00a0| 17 September 2013 | New Vision | allAfrica
\nRich armed poachers are costing East Africa millions of dollars in illegal ivory trade. The illegal trade is mostly fuelled by demand in Asia and the Middle East, where elephant tusks and rhinoceros horns are used in traditional medicine and to make ornaments. Uganda and her sister states in the East African region account for 68% of the illegal ivory trade in the world, according to a 2012 report released at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered species (CITES) at Bangkok, Thailand. Uganda is mostly a conduit route for ivory from neighbouring countries such as the DRC, Tanzania and Kenya.<\/p>\n

Armed Poachers Cost Region Millions<\/a>\u00a0| 17 September 2013 | New Vision | allAfrica
\nRich armed poachers are costing East Africa millions of dollars in illegal ivory trade. The illegal trade is mostly fuelled by demand in Asia and the Middle East, where elephant tusks and rhinoceros horns are used in traditional medicine and to make ornaments. Uganda and her sister states in the East African region account for 68% of the illegal ivory trade in the world, according to a 2012 report released at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered species (CITES) at Bangkok, Thailand. Uganda is mostly a conduit route for ivory from neighbouring countries such as the DRC, Tanzania and Kenya.<\/p>\n
