    Murdered journalists: 90% of killers get away with it but who are the victims? With 370 dead over 10 years, governments need to do more to catch the killers, says the Committee to Protect Journalist • Nils Horner’s death highlights lack of justice for those murdered at work • Greenslade: 90% of journalists’ murderers across the world escape justice • theguardian.com, Monday 3 November 2014 21.10 AEST The 683 journalists murdered since 1992 Photograph: CPJ data A grim toll of 370 journalists have been murdered over the past 10 years in direct retaliation for doing their job. An even more alarming statistic is that 90% of their killers have not been brought to justice, according to statistics from the Committee to Protect Journalists. In its report, The road to justice: breaking the cycle of impunity in the killing of journalists, the CPJ argues that governments need to do much more to catch the killers.

  • Countries at the Crossroads 2012: Democratic Republic of Congo
    Countries at the Crossroads Countries at the Crossroads 2012: Democratic Republic of Congo Jason K. Stearns1 Introduction Recent years have seen a transformation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo from a dictatorship through two destructive wars into an embattled regime with authoritarian tendencies. Civil liberties have benefitted in some areas and suffered in others. While the country has profited from a slight expansion of democratic space in the past decade, with the first multiparty elections ever held in 2006, this positive trend was dramatically undercut by the deeply flawed 2011 polls, in which Joseph Kabila was re-elected for a second term despite massive irregularities. This most recent crisis took place against the backdrop of a history marred by mass violence. Following thirty-two years of authoritarian rule under Mobutu Sese Seko, the country succumbed to a regional war in 1996. Troops from Angola, Rwanda, and Uganda invaded the country—then called Zaire—to hunt down insurgents who had established rear bases there. After toppling Mobutu in 1997, these countries placed rebel leader Laurent Kabila in power. The new president soon fell out with his former Rwandan and Ugandan benefactors, sparking a second, bloodier and protracted war in which nine African countries deployed troops on Congolese territory in support of local militias and armed groups. A 2002 peace deal signed under South African auspices reunited the country and ushered in a transitional government that included all major Congolese belligerents except for Mai Mai militias. This new government drafted a new constitution, which was promulgated in 2006, and organized the first democratic elections since 1965.
