The Russian-built Antonov aircraft dropped bombs on Goma and Uvira starting in the early evening, hitting civilian buildings, said Gen. Celestin Ilunga. At least 28 people were killed and 15 wounded in three districts in Goma, on the border with Rwanda, said Ilunga's deputy, Bob Ngoy. He had no figures for Uvira, which lies across the border from Burundi's capital, Bujumbura. The bombing is the first attack on the strongholds. The rebels took up arms nine months ago, accusing President Laurent Kabila of mismanagement and ethnic warmongering.

Congo government: 'We want democracy' U.S. envoy demands human rights investigation June 7, 1997 Web posted at: 2:13 p.m. EDT (1813 GMT) LUBUMBASHI, Congo (CNN) The new Congolese government is fully committed to improving its human rights record and furthering democracy in the Central African nation, Congo's foreign minister said Saturday. "We want to establish democracy. We want to establish lasting peace. We want to enter a phase in which human rights will be respected," Bizima Karaha said. Karaha made his comments in a meeting with Bill Richardson, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Richardson was to meet privately Saturday in Lubumbashi with President Laurent Kabila, whose rebel army swept to power in the former Zaire, now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo. Kabila made no comments before heading into the talks but joked with reporters, saying: "Let's hope they give us a good report this time." Ahead of the private meeting, Richardson promised U.S. help in rebuilding Congo from the ruins of former President Mobutu Sese Seko, who became a billionaire during his three-decade authoritative rule while the country became impoverished. But Richardson also was expected to press Kabila on his human rights record, which the United States has made clear will be tied to future aid for the new government.

The rebel Congolese Rally for Democracy said its troops repulsed attacks on two rebel-held towns over the weekend in a move which threatened the cease-fire that was signed by rebel leaders last month after months of negotiations. "The situation is tense now and our commanders are on high alert," said Lambert Mende, a spokesman for the rebel group.

Discovered in 1482 by Portuguese navigator Diego Cao and later explored by English journalist Henry Morton Stanley, the area was officially colonized in 1885 as a personal possession of Belgian King Leopold II as the Congo Free State. In 1907, administration shifted to the Belgian Government, which renamed the country the Belgian Congo. Following a series of riots and unrest, the Belgian Congo was granted its independence on June 30, 1960. Parliamentary elections in 1960 produced Patrice Lumumba as prime minister and Joseph Kasavubu as president of the renamed Democratic Republic of the Congo. ... [ Read More Congo, Republic of

CONGO: Government regulates ARV supply BRAZZAVILLE, 6 April (PLUSNEWS) - The Republic of Congo (ROC) has conducted an audit of all pharmaceutical laboratories in the country in a bid to resolve a shortage of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) for HIV-positive patients, the government has announced. In a statement issued on Friday at the end of the first steering committee meeting of the National Council for the Fight Against AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Diseases, or CNLS, the government said it "started the payment of all the invoices concerning the supply of the ARVs and made provisions which are essential so that the situation is never repeated". The minister of health and population, Alphonse Gando, said that the ARVs issue was the first item he handled when he took office in January. "It had to be treated urgently taking into consideration its importance," he said. A pharmaceutical firm, SAI Pharma, which provides ARVs to Congo suspended the supply a few months ago, claiming it was owed more than ?300,000 (US $386,100). Following this suspension, the Association for the Defence of Consumers' Rights, known by the French acronym ACDDC, wrote to the prime minister on 1 February, urging him to respect the government's commitment to combat HIV/AIDS.

CONGO: Government agrees to allocate more money to fight HIV/AIDS BRAZZAVILLE, 1 August (PLUSNEWS) - The Ministry for Health and Population of the Republic of Congo (ROC) signed an agreement on Saturday allocating 803.62 million francs CFA (US $1.48 million) to support the fight against HIV/AIDS. The money will go to the government's National Council for the Fight Against AIDS, known by its French acronym CNLS. CNLS currently provides voluntary testing, counseling and care for HIV infected patients in treatment centres in Brazzaville and Pointe Noire, the council's executive secretary, Marie Franck Purhuence, said. The new government funds will be used to buy antiretroviral drugs, and other medicine and equipment. According to a CNLS survey made in November 2003, 4.2 percent of the population of ROC was infected with HIV. Contact details E-mail: afroaidsinfo@mrc.ac.za AfroAIDSinfo, P.O.

Home News Releases About HRW Get Involved ... Africa Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Human Rights Developments Defending Human Rights The Role of the International Community HUMAN RIGHTS DEVELOPMENTS Rwanda and Uganda originally claimed their troops were in Congo to fight armed groups hostile to their governments and based in the DRC. But by 2001 they seemed equally concerned to control resources, trade routes, and access to tax revenues. A U.N. Security Council expert panel reported extensive exploitation of Congolese resources by Rwandans and Ugandans, acting in both public and private capacities, underlining the importance of economic motives for the war. In November, the panel confirmed these findings and also criticized the massive exploitation of DRC resources by Kabila's allies, particularly Zimbabwe. Belgium, named in the report, set up a parliamentary commission to inquire into the role of its nationals in this exploitation. Mai-Mai represented a diverse group of autonomous actors, some of whom opportunistically switched alliances. By September their groups had gained such importance that government and RCD alike tried to incorporate Mai-Mai into their delegations to the inter-Congolese dialogue but Mai-Mai maintained they should participate on their own. All parties to the war abducted and recruited children to be trained and deployed as soldiers, as members of local militia or civil defense forces, or as workers attached to military units.

Democratic Republic of Congo: Government should investigate human rights violations in the Mbuji Mayi diamond fields "Everyday, blood is being spilled in the diamond fields of government-controlled Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and nobody in the international community is taking any notice, " Amnesty International said today. "Dozens of suspected illegal diamond miners, including children, are being shot dead every year, and many more are being seriously wounded, by security guards who are flouting the law with apparently complete impunity," the organisation added. "There is effectively a state of anarchy reigning in the diamond fields of Mbuji-Mayi," the organisation said, as it launched a new report, entitled Democratic Republic of Congo: Making a Killing, about the diamond industry in government-controlled DRC. "Unarmed civilians, including children, are regularly being killed in cold blood, but no-one is ever brought to justice for these killings and nothing is being done to end the killings."

Home What's New About Contribute ... Contact Countries Appendix CONGO (57.2%) The Congo government benefits little from the increased logging activities because it is unable to collect timber duties from foreign governments and has turned over control of timber transportation to the government of Cameroon. Additionally, it looks like Congo's forest policy of banning raw log exports by 2000 will widely miss its mark, though the government may restrict log exports of some species.
