NEWS IN BRIEFBangui descended further into violence over the last week with a church attack reportedly perpetrated by Muslim fighters once again prompting retaliation attacks targeting a Bangui mosque and the city’s remaining Muslim population. Protests in the city saw two people shot dead by MISCA forces this week as popular disaffection was directed at both the transition government and international troops. These events were followed by allegations on Monday that Republic of Congo MISCA troops have been implicated in human rights abuses, including the enforced disappearance of 11 individuals in March this year. Medecins sans Frontieres has suffered another assault on its operations and Radio Ndeke Luka journalists have been the subject of death threats. In the DRC, 100 FDLR fighters are said to have demobilised in North Kivu, prompting official calls for the surrender of the group’s remaining fighters in accordance with a prior agreement to that affect, said to have been breached by the rebels. Clashes between FARDC and ADF-Nalu have seen the former regain two localities north of Beni, as fighting took place between the Mai-Mai Cheka and the FDLR in the Oninga region of Walikale, causing displacement towards Lubero. The Mai-Mai Cheka are said to be occupying four localities in the region where they are reported to be engaging in extortion. FARDC troops have been accused of perpetrating abuses against local civilians in Shabunda (South Kivu) and Rutshuru (North Kivu) territories. In Katanga, insecurity is said to prevail in the north of the province as local officials called for the redeployment of MONUSCO to Pweto. In Province Orientale armed groups are said to have burned down hundreds of homes in the collectivity of Walendu Bindi, whilst in Ituri 20 people are reported to have been kidnapped by gunmen. On the fourth anniversary of the Chebeya/Bazana assassinations, the victims’ families have reportedly lodged a deposition before the courts in Senegal in respect of the case. This Monday saw the deadline for corporate reporting on conflict minerals sourcing under section 1502 of the US Dodd-Frank Act. IPIS NewsIPIS is recruiting an Intern on Business and Human Rights, starting in June 2014.
This is a two – four month, unpaid position. For further see here.
