  • Mapping Conflict Motives: M23
    Mapping Conflict Motives: M23 1 Front Cover image: M23 combatants marching into Goma wearing RDF uniforms Antwerp, November 2012 2 Table of Contents Introduction 4 1. Background 5 2. The rebels with grievances hypothesis: unconvincing 9 3. The ethnic agenda: division within ranks 11 4. Control over minerals: Not a priority 14 5. Power motives: geopolitics and Rwandan involvement 16 Conclusion 18 3 Introduction Since 2004, IPIS has published various reports on the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Between 2007 and 2010 IPIS focussed predominantly on the motives of the most significant remaining armed groups in the DRC in the aftermath of the Congo wars of 1996 and 1998.1 Since 2010 many of these groups have demobilised and several have integrated into the Congolese army (FARDC) and the security situation in the DRC has been slowly stabilising. However, following the November 2011 elections, a chain of events led to the creation of a ‘new’ armed group that called itself “M23”. At first, after being cornered by the FARDC near the Rwandan border, it seemed that the movement would be short-lived. However, over the following two months M23 made a remarkable recovery, took Rutshuru and Goma, and started to show national ambitions. In light of these developments and the renewed risk of large-scale armed conflict in the DRC, the European Network for Central Africa (EURAC) assessed that an accurate understanding of M23’s motives among stakeholders will be crucial for dealing with the current escalation. IPIS volunteered to provide such analysis as a brief update to its ‘mapping conflict motives’ report series.

  • Forensic Medical Expert Consultant, Program on Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones
    Forensic Medical Expert Consultant, Program on Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones Pour lire cette page en français. Program Background Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) established the Program on Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones, a multiyear training and advocacy initiative launched in 2011, to forge coalitions among regional medical, law enforcement, and legal experts in Central and East Africa. The goal of the program is to increase local capacity for the collection and documentation of court-admissible evidence of sexual violence to support local and international prosecutions for these crimes. The program draws on PHR’s extensive expertise in documenting war crimes and providing forensic training to professionals in regions of conflict where mass crimes have been committed. With a team based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the program also provides guidance, training, and mentoring to clinicians and police on individual cases to reinforce local capacity for gathering forensic evidence of sexual violence. To date, PHR has conducted numerous basic and advanced training workshops for health, law enforcement, and justice sectors in Bukavu, Uvira, Goma, Kalehe, Minova, Bunyakiri, and surrounding areas. Topics for trainings include forensic evidence gathering, pediatric evaluations, forensic photography, and medical documentation, among others. In the coming year, PHR will conduct additional forensic training sessions in North and South Kivu, and continue to mentor individual clinicians as they document cases for prosecutions. PHR is seeking a strategic, innovative, and experienced Forensic Medical Expert Consultant to provide in-country forensic medical leadership and expertise to support the program. Position Description The Forensic Medical Expert Consultant will deploy with PHR’s program team in Bukavu, DRC for a period of at least three months to provide mentorship and basic and advanced training to clinicians on forensic medical evaluations of survivors of sexual violence.

  • D.R. Congo: War Crimes in Bukavu
    D.R. Congo: War Crimes in Bukavu Human Rights Watch Briefing Paper, June 2004 Overview Since the establishment of the Government of National Unity in Kinshasa in June 2003, peace has eluded eastern parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), particularly in Bukavu and the wider Kivu region, Ituri and Northern Katanga. The recent fighting in Bukavu is only the latest event in a pattern of deteriorating security and massive violations of international human rights and humanitarian law. For millions of Congolese citizens who live in the highly populated eastern region and face daily struggles for survival, there is no peace. Rebellious factions of former rebel groups plus other armed groups that have not joined the transitional process use violence to oppose integration into the new DRC army and to challenge the authority of the fragile DRC transitional government. Leaders of the former rebel groups have apparently encouraged or tolerated these challenges even while taking part in the transitional government, perhaps seeking to keep all options open should the peace process not bring the desired dividends. The Kinshasa transitional authorities have been unable to meet the political challenges and have failed to stop the violence. Human Rights Watch researchers have documented war crimes and other human rights abuses including summary executions, of which some were committed on an ethnic basis, rape, and looting by all the fighting groups since May 26, 2004 as well as in the previous months. The violence against civilians in Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu province, followed the May 26 clash between soldiers loyal to Colonel Jules Mutebutsi, a commander from the Rally for Congolese Democracy – Goma (RCD-G) who had been suspended from the integrated national army in late February 2004, and pro-government forces of the newly created Tenth Military Region under the command of General Mbuza Mabe.
