Extractions: April 2, 2002 The Democratic Republic of Congo's government said on Monday it was ready to share power with rebels fighting a civil war since 1998 if they returned territories under their control to the Kinshasa administration. 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.
Congo Government Troops Kill 100 Civilians - Security Council congo government Troops Kill 100 Civilians. By Mark Dummett. ReutersNovember 21, 2002. Government troops killed at least 100 civilians http://www.globalpolicy.org/security/issues/congo/2002/1122kill.htm
Extractions: November 21, 2002 Government troops killed at least 100 civilians in a town in the southern Democratic Republic of Congo, witnesses and a human rights group said on Thursday. 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.

Congo Time and Date Congo Government Back to Top After the Congo received its independence from Belgium in 1960, it experienced five years of political turmoil. In 1965 army chief of staff Joseph Désiré Mobutu (later Mobutu Sese Seko) seized power in a coup. For 32 years Mobutu ran a corrupt, undemocratic regime, concentrating power in the executive branch and favoring those loyal to him. His party, the Popular Movement for the Revolution (Mouvement Populaire de la Révolution, or MPR), became the sole legal political party, and dissidents were suppressed. In May 1997 rebels led by Laurent Kabila seized control of the country and overthrew Mobutu. Kabila suspended the constitution and declared himself president. Kabila was assassinated in January 2001.

Extractions: UNITED NATIONS Press Release 29 April 2003 The Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iulia Motoc, has welcomed the decision of the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to abolish on 24 April 2003 the country's military tribunal - la Cour d'Ordre Militaire - and the court prosecutor's office, military institutions which did not meet international fair trial standards. 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.

Extractions: Annan disquieted by rising factionalism in DR of Congo Government 30 March 2004 In a report chronicling regression in the post-conflict Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan says the increasing factionalism in the Transitional Government is disquieting, the continuing reports of militia atrocities against civilians causes concern and the slowdown in normalizing relations with the country's neighbours is regrettable. He also condemned today the shooting death of a South African peacekeeper Monday near Bukavu as an attempt to deter the UN Organization Mission in the DRC (MONUC) from fulfilling its mandate. His report also notes that on 12 February Maj. Peter Wachai of Kenya was killed when militias attacked a MONUC convoy near Katoto. Eight months after the establishment of the DRC's Transitional Government, "the most crucial issue concerns the ability of the transitional leaders to act as a truly unified government and to overcome the persistent atmosphere of distrust," he says in a periodic report on developments in the country.

North America By Louis Okamba BRAZZAVILLE, Jan 4 (IPS) - Congo ushered in the new millennium with a glimmer of hope, as the government and the umbrella group representing the country's rebel militias, the National Resistance Council (CNR), signed an accord to end the civil war devastating the central African country. The cease-fire comes on the heels of a similar accord, signed Nov 16, by the government and the Cocoye and Ninja militias at Pointe-Noire, the country's economic hub. The two militias are aligned with former deposed President Pascal Lissouba and his Prime Minister, Bernard Kolelas. The Pointe-Noire accord was not, however, signed by Frederic Bintsangou, alias Jean Ntoumi, the formidable CNR leader who headed one of the warring factions in the forests south of the capital Brazzaville. The new accord followed secret negotiations between the Congolese Armed Forces and the CNR, mediated by the president of Gabon, Omar Bongo, in his nation's capital, Libreville.

Foreign shopkeepers have been told they must conform with new trading rules no later than December 31 or face prosecution. Reuters news agency reported October 8 that the new rules require foreign shopkeepers to invest (deposit) a minimum of $500,000 in order to continue doing business. Some observers believe the intent is to limit jobs in the sector to Congolese nationals and control the circulation of currency in the country.
