It Is My Considered Opinion That It Is of The CN- INCOMING CODE CABLE TO: VAUGHAN ONLY FROM: AMACHREE, LEOPOLDVILLE DATE: 19 MAY 63 (Sent 1913382; Rovd 19l4l2z) NUMBER: UNNUMBERED It is my considered opinion that it is of the utmost importance that you should visit Leopoldville urgently s« that you., Dorsinville and I, can enquire into and rectify the serious administrative problems which are affecting the entire ONUC operations here. Quite apart from the po«r personal relations of the Chief of Civilian operations and the Chief Administrative Officer, there is evidence of maladministration and disturbing reports of misuse of PX and Commissary facilities. Morale is low and I feel that in order to assist Dorsinville we should now make an effort to eradicate the •bstacles to the smooth functioning of our operations here. I have talked to Dorsinville who agrees with me that your presence is absolutely necessary. I would suggest, f~\ therefore, that you endeavour to take the first flight to . Leopoldville this week. You may perhaps appreciate the serious- ness of the situation if I state that it may be necessary for a recommendation to be made to the Secretary General to change both the Chief of Civilian Operations and the Chief Administrative Officer because from what I have seen here we cannot entrust our operations to ifficers who do not appear to be able to work together and who, as a result of their petty bickerings are jeopardizing the good name of the UN in this country. Please cable back very urgently and let me know when to expect you. Dorsinville would like you to be his guest. End.

Dr. ft-anijois Duvalier President of the Bepublic of Haiti Port -au -Prince. - -- 1 have Tine aonour to refer, Your Excellency, to ay message of 10 April, which was conveyed to you by the good offices of your Permanent Representative to the United nations. I now send you this message requesting early decision on my original appeal to you only because of the pressure of time in connection with the position in the Congo which must be promptly filled. It is most important for me to be able to proceed on the assumption that the person in question will be available for this post. I would very much hope, therefore, that you could give me your word of consent at the earliest possible moment. Please be assured, Your Excellency, that I approach you now in this -way only because of the very great urgency of this matter. May I take this occasion to again express to you my highest consideration. U Secretary General 17 April 1963 SG: Amb. Auguste ef Haiti called to say he had received late last night a telegram from his Government indicating that his cables had been received and that a decision would be forthcoming. Message did not make reference to your own cable sent yesterday to Pres. Duvalier. Amb. Auguste wishes to assure you that he has done everything in his power to endorse your request and to obtain a quick reply from his Government. It is his personal feeling that the delay is due to some internal troubles which have developed in the last few- days in Haiti - a military conspiracy against the Government was alleged to have been dis- covered, and there seems to be tension in the country. In all probability the attention of the President and his top-ranking ministers must be devoted to the internal situation. Nevertheless, Amb. Auguste hopes to have a definite reply later today or tomorrow morning. (copy to Mr. Bunche) Powealand Unofficial translation from French KCOHING CLSAE CABIE IQi THE SECfiETAKT-GEMERAL PROMt DR.

    The Congo Crisis, 1960-1961: A Critical Oral History Conference Organized by: The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars’ Cold War International History Project and Africa Program Sponsored by: The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars September 23-24, 2004 Opening of Conference – September 23, 2004 CHRISTIAN OSTERMANN: Ladies and gentlemen I think we’ll get started even though we’re still expecting a few colleagues who haven’t arrived yet, but I think we should get started because we have quite an agenda for this meeting. Welcome all of you to the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars; my name is Christian Ostermann. I direct one of the programs here at the Woodrow Wilson Center, the Cold War International History Project. The Center is the United States’ official memorial to President Woodrow Wilson and it celebrates, commemorates Woodrow Wilson through a living memorial, that is, we bring scholars from around the world, about 150 each year to the Wilson center to do research and to write. In addition to hosting fellowship programs, the Center hosts 450 meetings each year on a broad array of topics related to international affairs. One of these meetings is taking place today, and it is a very special meeting, as I will explain in a few moments. This meeting is co-sponsored by the Center’s Cold War International History project and 1 the Center’s Africa Program, directed by former Congressman Howard Wolpe. He’s in Burundi as we speak here, but some of his staff will be joining us during the course of the day.

    Identités, ressources naturelles et conflits en RDC Collection « Géopolitique mondiale » Dirigée par Mwayila TSHIYEMBE L’objet de la collection « Géopolitique mondiale » est de susciter les publications dont la vocation est double : d’une part, donner un sens aux mutations provoquées par la mondialisation, étant donné la perte des repères du monde ancien et la nécessité d’inventer des repères du monde nouveau ; d’autre part, analyser la complexité des enjeux territoriaux, des rivalités d’intérêt et de stratégies qui pousse les acteurs à user de la force ou de la diplomatie, pour modifier ou tenter de modifier le rapport de force (ressources naturelles, humaines, culturelles), selon des idéologies qui les animent. A cette fin, la prospective et la pluridisciplinarité sont des approches privilégiées.

  • The Problem of Teaching Twofold Love: Christian Education and a Culture of Peace in the Great Lakes Region
    THE PROBLEM OF TEACHING TWOFOLD LOVE: CHRISTIAN EDUCATION AND A CULTURE OF PEACE IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION By EMMANUEL MUAMBA KAMUANGA Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF THEOLOGY in the subject PRACTICAL THEOLOGY at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA PROMOTER: PROF AP PHILLIPS JOINT PROMOTER: PROF KASONGA WA KASONGA MARCH 2008 I Student number: 3440-364-7 I declare that: THE PROBLEM OF TEACHING TWOFOLD LOVE: CHRISTIAN EDUCATION AND A CULTURE OF PEACE IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION is my own work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted from have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. _________________________ ___________________ Rev. Emmanuel Muamba Kamuanga March 5, 2008 II EPIGRAPH Your Holiness and My Loneliness I was hungry and you held meetings to discuss my hunger. I was imprisoned and you crept of quietly to pray for my release. I was persecuted and you explained to me how Christ was persecuted. I was sick and you knelt down and thanked God for your health. I was homeless and you preached to me of spiritual shelter of the love of God. I was lonely and you left me alone to pray for me. You seem so holy and I’m still very lonely (Green, as quoted by Pazmino, 1988: 54). III ABSTRACT Practical theology has society as its horizon and should not be limited to a clerical paradigm because Christianity is not limited to a church but its horizon is the whole of society. In line with this understanding of practical theology, this study is a contribution to Christian education for a culture of peace in the Great Lakes region (the DRC, Rwanda and Burundi).
