  • A Life of Fear and Flight
    A LIFE OF FEAR AND FLIGHT The Legacy of LRA Brutality in North-East Democratic Republic of the Congo We fled Gilima in 2009, as the LRA started attacking there. From there we fled to Bangadi, but we were confronted with the same problem, as the LRA was attacking us. We fled from there to Niangara. Because of insecurity we fled to Baga. In an attack there, two of my children were killed, and one was kidnapped. He is still gone. Two family members of my husband were killed. We then fled to Dungu, where we arrived in July 2010. On the way, we were abused too much by the soldiers. We were abused because the child of my brother does not understand Lingala, only Bazande. They were therefore claiming we were LRA spies! We had to pay too much for this. We lost most of our possessions. Once in Dungu, we were first sleeping under a tree. Then someone offered his hut. It was too small with all the kids, we slept with twelve in one hut. We then got another offer, to sleep in a house at a church. The house was, however, collapsing and the owner chased us. He did not want us there. We then heard that some displaced had started a camp, and that we could get a plot there. When we had settled there, it turned out we had settled outside of the borders of the camp, and we were forced to leave. All the time, we could not dig and we had no access to food.

  • Drc): Case Studies from Katanga, Ituri and Kivu
    CONFLICT BETWEEN INDUSTRIAL AND ARTISANAL MINING IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO (DRC): CASE STUDIES FROM KATANGA, ITURI AND KIVU Ruben de Koning Introduction The mining sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is widely regarded as the key engine for post-conflict reconstruction. To attract for- eign investment, the government in 2002 enacted a new mining code that makes it easier for foreign companies to obtain industrial mining titles. Within a few years exploration concessions covered about a third of the country. Meanwhile, exploitation rights to the most important proven deposits were converted to new joint-ventures between foreign investors and Congolese state mining companies. The rapid attribution of min- ing titles has, however, not lead to a resumption of industrial mining on the scale the central government and its foreign donors had hoped for. Apart from a few copper and cobalt mines in the southern Katanga prov- ince, mineral production in the rest of the country, but also in Katanga, remains largely artisanal. Artisanal mining employs up to two million people across the country and largely takes place on concessions where industrial mining is supposed happen (Wold Bank 2009). In many of these artisanal mining areas and particularly in the eastern DRC state functions have almost completely eroded during two consecutive civil wars. Arti- sanal miners often work in dangerous conditions and are forced to pay numerous illegal taxes or to work for the military and rebel forces that control mines. At the same time, the local power complexes that emerged around artisanal mining operations have withheld large scale industrial investment, thereby preventing displacement of artisanal miners from concessions.

Discovered in 1903, the disease is endemic in all provinces. Ivermectin was introduced in 1987 as clinical treatment, then as mass treatment in 1989. Created in 1996, the NPOC is based on community-directed treatment with ivermectin (CDTI). In 1999, rapid epidemiological mapping for onchocerciasis surveys were launched to determine the mass treatment areas called “CDTI Projects”. CDTI started in 2001 and certain projects were stopped in 2005 following the occurrence of serious adverse events. Surveys coupled with rapid assessment procedures for loiasis and onchocerciasis rapid epidemiological assessment were launched to identify the areas of treatment for onchocerciasis and loiasis.
