Jan 28, 2009 Congo (Kinshasa): Risky Steps towards Peace
The UN Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) has
announced that it is providing logistical support for the joint
Congolese-Rwandan military operation in eastern Congo, to maximize
protection of civilians and reintegration of rebel forces into the
Congolese national army. MONUC was not informed of the operation in
advance, and there are real fears for the consequences for
civilians. Nevertheless, most observers see the move, reflecting
new agreement between Rwandan and Congolese governments, as a
prerequisite for more fundamental peace-making measures.
Oct 11, 2008 Congo (Kinshasa): War Goes On, Little Pressure for Peace
The war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, site of the United
Nations' largest peacekeeping operation, attracts little attention
from the world's media. Conditions vary from place to place in that
vast country. But violence continues at high levels in parts of the
country, particularly North Kivu, and efforts to rebuild functional
state security and oversight over the economy still face enormous
obstacles.
May 2, 2008 Congo (Kinshasa): Still No Peace in the East
"On January 23, 2008, after weeks of talks, the Congolese
government signed a peace agreement in Goma, North Kivu, with 22
armed groups committing all parties to an immediate ceasefire and
disengagement of forces from frontline positions. Yet since the
signing, scores of civilians have been killed, hundreds of women
and girls raped, and many more children recruited into armed
service ..." - report from 63 Congolese and international NGOs
