Dem. Rep. of Congo Africa GOVERNMENT Multi-party elections in the D.R.C. have not been held since 1960. A transitional constitution was adopted on April 4, 2003. Extensive executive, legislative, and military powers are vested in the president and vice presidents. The legislature does not have the power to overturn the government through a vote of no confidence. The judiciary is nominally independent; the president has the power to dismiss and appoint judges. The president is head of a 35-member cabinet of ministers. President Joseph Kabila has made significant progress in liberalizing domestic political activity, establishing a transitional government, and undertaking economic reforms in cooperation with the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF). However, serious human rights problems remain in the security services and justice system. The eastern part of the country is characterized by ongoing violence and armed conflict, which has created a humanitarian disaster and contributed to civilian deaths (more than 3.8 million, according to a prominent international NGO). MONUC continues to play an important peacekeeping role in the D.R.C., and in October 2004, its authorized force strength increased to 16,700.

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.

In a statement, the government said that the inauguration of the council provided "irrefutable proof" of the country's commitment at the highest levels to "refuse fatalism and to offer a better future to the children of the Congo". Speaking during a ceremony in the capital, Brazzaville, Sassou-Nguesso called on the Congolese to modify their "mentality and behaviour" in an effort to fight the disease. "All forces must be mobilised in synergy so as to preserve that which is dearest to us all: life," he said. "Men, women, children and the elderly; let us firmly and faithfully declare that HIV/AIDS will not be transmitted by any of us." During a recent seminar, Health Minister Alain Moka said that despite the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the country, the level of medical treatment available was lagging far behind other nations.

It was delayed because of a continuing disagreement between the government and rebels over the composition of a national army, the government said. The setback came as the United States said it supported a French proposal for a multi-national peacekeeping force to be sent to the north-eastern town of Bunia, which has been wracked by fighting between rival ethnic militias. The United Nations says it is increasingly worried about the situation in Bunia, capital of the gold-rich Ituri province, where local radio stations have begun broadcasting hate messages that threaten civilians. Government accused Leaders of the main rebel group RCD-Goma, members of the government and the opposition are to be brought together in a new power-sharing administration.

The killings took place after an argument broke out between soldiers and militiamen known as the Mai Mai on November 10. Tens of thousands of residents have since fled Ankoro, in Katanga province near the frontline with rebel-held territory. "The army accused the population of supporting the Mai Mai. They burned down their houses and started to massacre them," said a resident of Ankoro who has fled to the regional capital, Lubumbashi, and asked not to be named. The government said a joint-ministerial team would visit Ankoro town on Friday to investigate the killings. "Our mission will not ignore anything," the Minister of Human Rights Ntumba Luaba told Reuters. "We have the responsibility to assure the protection of all our people." The minister acknowledged there had been bloody clashes in the Ankoro region in past weeks, between some army soldiers and Mai Mai traditional warriors, but did not say whether there was any truth in the claims that civilians had been killed. The Ankoro resident added that people have also fled their homes in nearby Kabongo and Malemba N'Kulu.

In what appeared to be the government's most conciliatory gesture to date, an official spokesman said foreign-backed rebels could be appointed as ministers in a government of national unity if an agreement was reached. But, he said President Joseph Kabila would not step down ahead of elections, which could be held in two years' time, as requested by the rebels and some opposition politicians. "We are ready to share power with the rebels at all levels except the presidential post," Vital Kamerhe told Reuters by telephone from the South African resort of Sun City, where peace talks between the belligerents started last month. "But, if we form a national unity government with them, they have to tell us how we are going to re-establish the authority of such a government over the entire territory," he said. Rebel groups backed by Rwanda and Uganda control most of the the north and the east in the vast, mineral-rich central African country. Kabila's forces are supported by Zimbabwe, Angola and Namibia in what has been dubbed "Africa's World War One". Kamerhe said the rebels, as well as one opposition party, were insisting that a new president should be named by the 300 delegates attending the Sun City talks.

Site Map Congo: Government, Rebels Suppress Free Expression (New York, September 20, 2000) Human Rights Watch today called on the government of President Kabila to immediately release five jailed journalists, and to reverse a ban on ten private and church-owned radio and television stations. The ban was issued by ministerial decree on September 14. Human Rights Watch also urged the Rwandan-backed rebel faction Congolese Rally for Democracy (RCD), to release a detained free-lance photographer, and to reopen a radio station owned and operated by civil society organizations. "Time and again, the Congolese government and rebels have shown equal zeal in their attempts to suppress free expression in the Democratic Republic of Congo," said Suliman Baldo, Senior Researcher at the Africa Division of Human Rights Watch. "These journalists are being attacked because they criticize people in power. That is unacceptable." In Kinshasa, Minister of Information Dominique Sakombi banned ten private and church-owned radio and television stations, publicly blaming them for their "failure" to abide by a set of instructions that unilaterally define the contents of their programs. The banned stations are Radio Elikya (owned by the Catholic Church), Radio Réveil FM, Radio Malebo Broadcast Channel (MBC), Radio RTKM, Radio Sentinelle (of the independent Church Cité Bethel), Radio Kintuadi (property of the Kimbanguiste Church), Antenne A Télévision, Canal Kin 1 and Canal Kin 2 (owned by Jean Bemba Saolona, a leading businessman and former minister of national economy), and TKM television station. In July 1999, the Ministry of Information prohibited private stations from relaying international news bulletins, until then a common practice in the Congo.

Farming and ranching are carried out on the Katanga Plateau. In the eastern part of the province is an rich mining region, which supplies cobalt copper tin radium ... uranium , and diamond s. From the 17th century the province was controlled by the Luba and Lunda. In the late 19th C. a trader from Tanzania called M'Siri, founded a short-lived kingdom that lasted until he was killed by the Belgians in 1891. Under Belgian control from around 1884, the mineral resources were heavily exploited by Belgian firms (notably Union Minière du Haut Katanga ) and the province developed much more than the rest of the country. Following the granting of independence to the Congo in June Katanga broke away from the new government of Patrice Lumumba in July and declared independence under Moise Tshombe . Lumumba was replaced in September 1960 in a coup d'etat by Joseph Mobutu . Forces under the aegis of the UN conducted a two-year campaign to bring Katanga back into the Congo, culminating in a National Conciliation Plan in January

55. Atrocities In The Congo: The Casement Report, 1903 Leopold s ability to administer the congo government coupled with his gift forselfpromotion and dissimulation, kept knowledge of what was taking place http://web.jjay.cuny.edu/~jobrien/reference/ob73.html

Report of the British Consul, Roger Casement, on the Administration of the Congo Free State Leopold's ability to administer the Congo government coupled with his gift for self-promotion and dissimulation, kept knowledge of what was taking place there to a minimum. Inevitably the truth leaked out as it became known through missionary reports and the like that the natives were being willfully exploited and brutally treated in the interests of amassing revenue for the King and his agents. Foremost in the campaign to expose the regimebased on forced labor and various forms of terrorwas E.D. Morel whose ceaseless pursuit of Leopold's regime resulted in questions being raised in the British House of Commons, for Britain, after all, had been a signatory to the Berlin Act which bound the Congo Government "to bind themselves to watch over the preservation of the native tribes and to care for their moral and material welfare." The Report (below) of the British consul sent to investigate the accumulating reports of torture, murder and virtual enslavement was published to the world in 1904 and from that point on the pressure for reform mounted until, finally, Leopold was forced to yield up his private African preserve to the Belgian government which formally took over the 'Belgian Congo' by an act of annexation in August 1908. Leopold II has not fared well by historians. As one English historian has bitterly commented: "(Leopold) was an Attila in modern dress, and it would have been better for the world if he had never been born."

As a delegate at the conference, Congo's Minister of Forestry Economy Henri Djombo announced that his country will officially gazette the Bambama-L©kana National Park, a unique and spectacular mosaic of rolling savanna and gallery forest inhabited by elephants, chimpanzees, lions, and other savanna- forest wildlife, along with plans to expand marine reserves along the coast and create new protected areas along the southern border. "Once again, the government of Congo is leading the way in conserving the natural heritage of Central Africa," said James Deutsch, Director of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) program in Africa, which is an active partner with the Congo government on a number of conservation activities. "These new areas will augment the existing network-already an estimated 11 percent of the country's landmass-which will also benefit from new initiatives to improve conservation efforts nationwide." In addition to Bambama-L©kana, which will form a trans-boundary protected area with Bateke Plateau National Park in Gabon, the Congo government plans to connect the protected areas of Conkouati-Douli National Park in Congo and Mayumba National Park in Gabon to protect the globally important beaches, swamps, and coastal forests of Congo's coastline, including some of the most important sea turtle nesting areas in the world. To the south, the government envisions the creation of a trans-boundary protected area along the borders of Angola and DRC.

EDUCATIONAL The Nobel Peace Prize 1961 Presentation Speech by Gunnar Jahn , Chairman of the Nobel Committee The Nobel Committee United Nations in 1953, he had been associated with the administration of his native Sweden ever since the completion of his education. He had studied widely, and his knowledge ranged far beyond his chosen field. His special subject, however, was regarded as economics, in which he took his doctor's degree in 1934, with a thesis entitled "Konjunkturspridningen." He had by then already obtained degrees in philology and in law. In 1936 he entered the Swedish Ministry of Finance, and from 1941 to 1948, he was chairman of the Board of the Swedish Riksbank. In 1945 he became government adviser on trade policy and financial policy and in 1947 joined the Swedish Foreign Office. In 1951 he was appointed a consultative cabinet minister. But as he himself pointed out, he was committed to no particular party, and his cabinet appointment was a professional rather than a political one. In addition to leading various Swedish financial delegations in negotiations with other countries - primarily in connection with trade agreements - he also represented Sweden in UNISCAN negotiations and was for a time vice-chairman of OEEC.

Democratic Republic of Congo: Government cracks down on human rights organizations Amnesty International AI INDEX: AFR 62/14/98 The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Government's recent ban of the country's leading human rights organization is the latest move in a crackdown on local human rights activists, Amnesty International declared today as it warned that repressive measures against other organizations may follow. The ban on AZADHO, Association zairoise de de[/]fense des droits de l'homme, Zairian Association for the Defence of Human Rights, was imposed on 3 April. "The government is clearly taking steps to make independent human rights work in the DRC impossible as it shows its increasing intolerance towards any dissenting voices in the country," Amnesty International said. On the very same day that it banned AZADHO, the DRC government, as a member of the United Nations (UN) Commission on Human Rights, joined in the consensus on the adoption of a resolution to protect the rights of human rights defenders. The UN Human Rights Commission recommended that the declaration on human rights defenders be adopted by the Economic and Social Council and the UN General Assembly later this year. "The DRC Government is speaking with two voices promising to respect human rights at a meeting in Geneva, then stifling the work of those same defenders at home," Amnesty International said.

The Special Rapporteur recalled that during her meeting with President Joseph Kabila in March this year, the President had pledged to abolish the court at the end of March 2003. The Special Rapporteur said that this step represented important progress for the administration of justice in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and encouraged the Government to continue in the same direction.
