Aug 2, 2010 USA/Africa: New Evidence on Lumumba Death
"A 1975 U.S. Senate investigation of alleged CIA assassinations
concluded that while the CIA had earlier plotted to murder Lumumba,
he was eventually killed 'by Congolese rivals. It does not appear
from the evidence that the United States was in any way involved in
the killing.' It is now clear that that conclusion was wrong." -
Stephen R. Weissman, author of new article "An Extraordinary
Rendition"
Aug 2, 2010 Congo (Kinshasa): UN Peacekeeping in Question
For more than a year and a half, UN peacekeepers have continuously
supported military operations conducted by the Congolese armed
forces (FARDC) against the Rwandan rebels of the Democratic Forces
for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) in North and South Kivu. This
policy has failed, says International Crisis Group analyst Thierry
Vircoulon. Despite pledges to protect civilians and reduce abuses,
there has in fact been an increase in human rights violations.
Aug 2, 2010 USA/Congo (Kinshasa): Conflict Minerals Law
There is little doubt that exports of "conflict minerals" --
including cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite and gold --
controlled by rebel groups and by units of the Congolese army
itself contribute to ongoing conflict in eastern Congo. It is more
difficult to say how much difference the new legislation requiring
transparency from U.S. companies about the supply chain of these
minerals will make.
