News in Brief<\/h1>\n

Over the past two weeks, the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Joseph Kabila, visited<\/a> his counterparts in Uganda and Rwanda. Security appeared to be high on the agenda and both neighbouring countries committed to greater security and intelligence cooperation with the DRC. During a bilateral meeting<\/a> between Ugandan and Rwandan police forces, the need for closer cross-border cooperation was also emphasised.<\/p>\n

The DRC<\/a> saw deadly attacks in several provinces over the past weeks, in Haut-Katanga<\/a>, Tanganyika<\/a>, Ituri<\/a> and Tshuapa<\/a> provinces, but also prominently in North Kivu<\/a>. On Saturday, August 6, Mai Mai Mazembe allegedly set fire to a refugee camp in Ngoroba, Rutshuru territory. In the night between Sunday and Monday, August 8, at least 17 people reportedly died and about 150 homes were set on fire by armed assailants in Bwito, Rutshuru territory. On August 10, six soldiers were injured in Beni during confrontations with ADF rebels and during the weekend of August 13 and 14, suspected rebels in FARDC uniform killed at least 36 people in Beni. According to civil society, the number of deaths would be closer to 50 and 24 housed were burnt down. Amid the existing political tensions, the massacre triggered angry reactions among the population and civil society. A large part of the victims\u2019 families did not want an official funeral out of protest and on August 17, a demonstration by youths against the massacre in Beni was dispersed with tear gas and warning shots. Three people were killed during the manifestation. The night before, three people died in Beni during an attack by alleged ADF rebels.<\/p>\n

In Kasai-Central<\/a> province as well, several people died during the night of August 8 in Tshimbulu. The attack, killing nine people, was attributed to a militia that was recently formed by Kamuina-Nsapu in Dibaya territory. On Friday, August 12, governor Alex Kande announced that the militia leader was killed during clashes with security forces. Human rights NGO, OCDH, stated that it denounces the killing of Kamuina-Nsapu, who instead should have been brought to justice. Meanwhile in Maniema<\/a> and Sankuru provinces, several land conflicts caused tensions. In Sankuru<\/a>, between seven and 15 people reportedly died and about 60 houses were set on fire during confrontations between two villages in Katakokombe territory on August 12.<\/p>\n

UN experts continue to express their concerns regarding the human rights situation in Burundi<\/a>. Meanwhile, there continues to be protest in Burundi against the Security Counsel\u2019s decision to deploy<\/a> 228 UN police officers in the country. Human rights also appeared an issue in Uganda<\/a> over the past weeks, where a prisoner was reportedly gravely tortured by prison wardens in Gulu district and the police arrested several people at an LGBT event in Kampala. Last week, the police also killed four armed robbers in Wakiso district. The Central African Republic<\/a> saw trouble at its border<\/a> with Cameroon, where apparently Cameroonian forces are occupying part of the northern and western CAR territory. Meanwhile MINUSCA<\/a> reported having arrested 10 after a standoff with a convoy of armed men \u2013 reportedly ex-Seleka \u2013 near Sibut on August 14.<\/p>\n
