Mujambere\u2019s arrest and the politics of tackling FDLR<\/a><\/u><\/span> | 8 May 2016 | Christoph Vogel<\/p>\n

Early last week, the chief of staff of the FDLR\u2019s main military wing, FOCA, Brig.-Gen. Leopold Mujyambere (also known under the following aliases: Petrus, Achille, Musenyeri) was arrested when he was allegedly on his way back from Zambia into the thick forests of Northern Masisi \u2013 where many of the militia\u2019s key leaders and troops seem to hide out after having been driven off their eastern Walikale strongholds in late 2015. The detention is significant inasmuch as it represents the capture of one of FDLR\u2019s most senior military officials. Within the group\u2019s hierarchy, he is \u2013 in protocol terms \u2013 the second-highest officer following Lt.-Gen. Sylvestre Mudacumura, even if in terms of real power and influence, Brig.-Gen. Pacifique Ntawunguka (\u2018Omega\u2019) may perform as Mudacumura\u2019s acting right hand.<\/p>\n

Thursday was supposed to be a day of protest for the FDC officials and supporters who are demanding an independent audit of the results of the February presidential poll.

CAR villagers use tech to combat LRA<\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span> | 5 May 2016 | La Nouvelle Centrafrique<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a daily meeting at dawn, when each village informs the base if it has been hit by an attack from rebels of the Lord\u2019s Resistance Army (LRA) who have fled to the restive CAR after being driven out of Uganda. Obo, a small community of huts made from ochre-coloured earth, is near the border with South Sudan and has little contact with the government in the far-off capital, Bangui. Unlike much of the CAR, which was torn apart by sectarian violence between the mainly-Muslim ex-Seleka rebels and Christian vigilante groups, this isolated corner of the country is battling a different danger: renegade LRA fighters.<\/p>\n

A country emerging out of violent conflict is often supported by peace operations, where the primary job of peacekeepers is to keep warring factions at bay and protect civilians as mandated by the United Nations (UN). Sexual violence is often used as a weapon of war against civilians, especially women. While peacekeepers are meant to provide physical security for these vulnerable, destitute and traumatised populations in the aftermath of war, they often perpetuate these very crimes in the course of peace operations amid conflict or post-conflict settings.<\/p>\n

A boom in artisanal mining offers lessons in development. Informal mining settlements like Angovia\u2019s, a series of hills dotted with tattered tarpaulin-covered shelters and pockmarked by deep pits, have been unexpectedly popping up in recent years across the west African country [Ivory Coast]. For many years Ivory Coast\u2019s economic fortunes were tied to agriculture. After independence in 1960 it became the world\u2019s largest producer of cocoa. Few gave much thought to what treasures might lie deeper in its ochre-red soil.<\/p>\n

\u201cTin Mountain\u201d Stirs Up Conflict Minerals Conversations in the Congo<\/a><\/u><\/span> | 9 May 2016 | 3BL Media<\/p>\n

Since the inception of the Dodd Frank Act in 2012, the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been messy. Dodd Frank section 1502 requires companies to identify whether the minerals tin, tungsten, tantalum and gold (3TG) in their supply chain originate from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Unless the 3TG comes from a certified mine of origin, DRC sourced minerals are considered to be \u201cconflict minerals\u201d. NGOs like Global Witness and Enough Project have encouraged companies to continue sourcing from the DRC so that artisanal miners are not embargoed. However, validating and verifying smelters as conflict free has posed challenging for companies, thus making sourcing outside of the DRC in many cases an easier option.<\/p>\n
