NEWS IN BRIEFBorder clashes between Rwanda and the DRC in mid-June have seen reports of five FARDC deaths with indications that these fatalities may have been the result of execution not combat – a claim Kigali denies. Tensions between the states continued to manifest this week as Rwandan forces arrested nine Congolese fishermen. Meanwhile, South Kivu saw clashes involving Burundian FLN rebels, who claim to have killed 9 Burundian soldiers in the province. The Burundian army denies any troop presence on Congolese territory. FARDC are said to have dislodged the mai-mai Yakutumba from Talama after a week of intense fighting, whilst in North Kivu, there has been public outcry over military abuses against civilians in and around Beni, including the alleged murder of Buloloma’s chief. In Province Orientale, Mbororo pastoralists are accused of colluding with the LRA in the perpetration of abuses against civilians in Dungu and Niangara. Three FADRC soldiers are reported dead in Ituri after an attack on FARDC positions by armed men in attire resembling South Sudanese army uniforms. In Katanga, there are rumors that Gideon has proposed disarming and disbanding his group, whilst the South Katanga Mining Company has faced public anger this week after police seeking to secure its Kawama concession fired shots to disperse illegal miners, killing three. In the Central African Republic, retaliatory clashes between anti-balaka and the Seleka left dozens dead in Bambari between Sunday and Monday, as ten bodies said to bear signs of torture, were found in the Ouaka river this week. Seleka and anti-balaka representatives have reportedly agreed on engaging in talks under the mediation of NGO Pareto, in what is hoped might be a first step towards a cease-fire. The week has seen the publication of two notable NGO reports on the situation in the CAR by International Crisis Group and FIDH. In France, French youth leaders have called upon previous political generations to shed light on the country’s involvement in the ’94 Genocide and, consequently, take responsibility for their actions at that time. Former Liberian president Charles Taylor has requested a prison transfer to Rwanda, citing proximity and threat of exposure to attacks by Al Qaeda militants. The United States has taken measures that communicate its discontent with Uganda’s recent Anti-Gay Law. The measures, viewed by Uganda as ‘blackmail’, appeared to have an immediate effect on the country’s currency. |
