And so they would like a full tank. They know there is a kind of road, though none of them have ever driven it. Simon has a companion, a broad-shouldered man named Celestin who owns a small rubber and palm oil plantation in Binga, a village alongside a tributary known as the Mongala River. He enrolled at a school in Bukavu as a vocational student to train in basic electronics. He indicated, for example, that his decision to quit the second position was mainly motivated by his Portuguese employer refusing to increase his salary. Consequently, outside of Kinshasa , Matadi and Lubumbashi , private and commercial road transport is almost non-existent and traffic is scarce even where roads are in good condition. Outline Index Category Portal. He joined a religious group by faith, he said , which was touring the region as part of a missionary crusade organised by an apostolic church. No trivia or quizzes yet. Crossing the Congo is an offbeat travelogue, a story of friendship and what it takes to complete a great journey against tremendous odds, and an intimate look into one of the world's least-developed and most fragile states, told with humor and sensitivity. Consequently, they tend to relay on social networks and other personal resources. In other words, goods had to be loaded and unloaded eight times and the total journey would take many months. Rather by approaching the issue from various angles for every life stage as defined by the interviewees, we were able to begin to trace the accepted values which shaped the meaning of their mobility decisions, and way in which their values and goals developed over time or across geographical boundaries. The personal objective of being independent of parents is juxtaposed with the perception of a happier life elsewhere. From the interview, it emerged that N.

Indefinite Pronouns. With that to go on, we drive out of town, moving South. By then, perhaps it will be worth it. Conceptually, cross-border mobility is defined to include all types of mobility, whether they operate near or far from the borders of the DRC, provided all these forms of spatial mobility involve passage from one country to the next. Information gathered from other sources suggests that he may also be using a Western Union money transfer service in the border town of Tsipaka on the Mozambique side to send remittances home. Similarly, Lubumbashi and the rest of Katanga Province is linked to Zambia , through which the paved highway and rail networks of Southern Africa can be accessed. The biographical approach used in this paper builds on a structuration position in order to explore the concept of practical consciousness as developed by Goss and Lindquist in an attempt to identify the embededness of cross-border mobility in the individual search for livelihoods along the lines suggested by Giddens In Lumumbashi, he provided some assistance to his aunt in the management of her business, a kind of informal restaurant located in a very popular market place in the city centre. His plan is to go there by road to Lubumbashi, via Zambia, but he pointed out that the persistent military unrest and lawlessness in the region does not offer enough security for making it this way. Recent Discussion. One must willingly become unfixed from chronology and crisp itineraries, move gamely with the current until information gleaned from passing conversations with other river dwellers prompts a detour.

Narratives on migratory trajectories 12 Before narrating the individual migratory experience, it is important to first draw some cut-crossing features from the nine migratory histories. For three years, I was told, few fish were caught, and many people starved. The interpretation of these values gets significance in the construction of rationalised self-identity that underpins certain aspects of voluntary or involuntary displacement.

His father could not afford to provide education to all of them. Understanding the motives behind the different trajectories becomes a complex task when one is seeking to establish what these persons knew about the implicit social conditions of their actions and values, but which they cannot express discursively, that underpinned their spatial mobility. The conditions mentioned above, combined with the understaffed and underfunded border control, have been compounded by the sensitive political issues raised by the continued flows of forced migrants at the borders and internally displaced persons in near-border towns. The two principal river routes are:. Not further communication, however, was given to him by the UN agency in the following year. A fair price.

  • Southern Africa • Angola/DRC Expulsions Regional Situation Report No
    Southern Africa • Angola/DRC Expulsions Regional Situation Report No. 2 22 October 2009 This report was issued by the Regional Office of Southern Africa. It covers the period from 11 to 22 October 2009. The next report will be issued within the next two weeks. I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES • Representatives of the Angolan and Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Governments met in Kinshasa on 13 October 2009, and publicly regretted the recent ‘migration incidents’ between the two countries. A joint Communiqué released on the same day called for the immediate cessation of expulsions between the two neighbors. • Despite the Communiqué, humanitarian actors on the ground report that the expulsions are continuing1. Angola • The number of Angolan nationals expelled from DRC had reached 39,000, according to the Angolan Ministry of Social Affairs and Reintegration’s (MINARS) last available estimate as of 17 October 2009. These include an undetermined but perhaps significant numbers of refugees. • MINARS and UN agencies (including UNFPA, UNICEF, UNHCR, IOM and WHO) undertook a needs assessment from 15 to 21 October 2009 in M’banza Congo in Zaire Province, and also delivered relief supplies. • The locations where populations are to be temporarily relocated do not contain landmines, according to National Mine Action authority (CNIDAH) in Angola. • The Angolan Red Cross and Save the Children have also carried out assessments in the affected areas. • MINARS and the Governor of Zaire Province have requested UNHCR to provide thousands of tents and other emergency non-food items. Democratic Republic of Congo • The number of DRC nationals expelled from Angola has significantly subsided in both Kasai and Bandundu provinces, but remained high in Bas-Congo Province, growing from 2,000 in July 2009 to 18,000 in September 2009.

Talwana3 1Consortium for Improving Agricultural-based Livelihoods in Central Africa (CIALCA) Project, Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo; 2International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA); 3School of Agricultural Sciences Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda; Corresponding author [email protected] ABSTRACT Kamira M., S. Hauser, P. Van Asten, D. Coyne, and H. L. Talwana. 2013. Plant parasitic nematodes associated with banana and plantain in eastern and western Democratic Republic of Congo. Nematropica 43:216-225. Plant-parasitic nematode incidence, population densities and associated damage were determined from 153 smallholder banana and plantain gardens in Bas Congo (9 – 646 meters above sea level, m.a.s.l) and South Kivu (1043 – 2005 m.a.s.l), Democratic Republic of Congo, during 2010. Based on the frequency of total nematode soil and root extraction, Helicotylenchus multicinctus (89%), Meloidogyne spp. (54%) and Radopholus similis (30%) were the most widespread, while Pratylenchus goodeyi (18%) Helicotylenchus dihystera (18%), Rotylenchulus reniformis (14%), and Pratylenchus spp. (6%) were localized in occurrence. The occurrence and abundance of the nematode species was influenced by altitude:R. similis declined at elevations above 1300 m; P. goodeyi declined at elevations below 1200 m; H. multicinctus and Meloidogyne spp. were found everywhere with higher but non-dominant densities at lower altitudes; Pratylenchus spp. was restricted to lower altitudes; while H. dihystera and R. reniformis were scattered at both low and high altitudes.

Box 30552 Nairobi, KENYA Tel: +254 (0)20 762 1234 Fax: +254 (0)20 762 3927 E-mail: [email protected] Web: http://www.unep.org About the Post-Conflict Environmental Assessment In response to a request from the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), in 2009 the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) initiated a national, multi-thematic assessment of priority environmental issues facing the country. Within the context of the DRC’s ongoing peace consolidation and economic reconstruction, the main objectives of this assessment were to: (i) provide insight into and raise awareness of the key environmental and natural resource management challenges; and (ii) inform rational planning and help catalyse investments by the government and the international community. UNEP plans to follow up on its comprehensive DRC assessment by developing a country programme which will guide future interventions; this is a successful model implemented in over 10 post-conflict countries since 1999. Following the preparation of detailed scoping and desk studies, 14 separate reconnaissance field visits covering all provinces and eco-regions of the DRC were carried out by a joint UNEP- Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Tourism (MECNT) team. The significant investment in fieldwork covering the whole country is one of the defining features of this assessment, which comprised extensive interviews and focus group discussions, site visits, photographic and video documentation, remote sensing and mapping, and in-situ field measurements as well as sampling for laboratory analysis.
