The disease was detected in the village of Bikoro and has since reached urban areas in the city of Mbandaka where the first cases were detected on 11 May 2018. This is the ninth outbreak in this area since the virus was discovered in 1976. The humanitarian community is working alongside the Congolese authorities to mitigate the spreading of the disease. IOM aims to respond by focusing on the surveillance of Point of Entries (POE) to cities and by doing risk communication and promoting sanitary control. IOM in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO), has already started mapping population mobility (both by using qualitative and quantitative methodologies) through participatory mapping exercises, as well as point surveillance at the selected key POEs including those in Kinshasa.

  • 42 China-Malawi Relations
    Issue 4 AFRICAN December 2014 EAST-ASIAN AFFAIRS THE CHINA MONITOR China-Malawi relations: an analysis of trade patterns and development impli- cations by Theodora C. Thindwa* Centre for Security Studies, Mzuzu University Mzuzu, Malawi Abstract As China is emerging as a force to reckon with in the 21st century it has formed economic and political partnerships with a number of countries especially in Africa, including Malawi. There are contending views on China’s role in Africa with some viewing it as a neo-colonial power and others as Africa’s development partner. This paper investigates how China-Malawi relationship has contributed to economic development in Malawi. This limits the scope of the study to Chinese Government investments directly dealing with the Malawi Government. The article analyses Chi- na-Malawi trade patterns, the number of jobs created by Chinese investments and other contributions by China. Exploratory research design, aspects of descriptive research and mixed methods of analysis is employed to uncover the nature of China-Malawi relations between 2007 and 2012. Using secondary data sources and interviews with principal trade officers, the study found both positive and negative trends. The level of Malawian exports to China is low compared to Chinese exports to Malawi. This entails trade losses for Malawi which in turn has implications for development and also for the society that *Theodora C.

The OECD’s mission is to promote policies that improve economic and social well-being of people around the world. About the OECD Due Diligence Guidance The OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (OECD Due Diligence Guidance) provides detailed recommendations to help companies respect human rights and avoid contributing to conflict through their mineral purchasing decisions and practices. The OECD Due Diligence Guidance is for use by any company potentially sourcing minerals or metals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas. It is one of the only international frameworks available to help companies meet their due diligence reporting requirements. About this study This gold baseline study is the first of five studies intended to identify and assess potential traceable “conflict-free” supply chains of artisanally-mined Congolese gold and to identify the challenges to implementation of supply chain due diligence. The study was carried out in Musebe, Haut Katanga, Democratic Republic of Congo. This study served as background material for the 7th ICGLR-OECD-UN GoE Forum on Responsible Mineral Supply Chains in Paris on 26-28 May 2014.

  • MALAWI Government Releases Many Political Prisoners Jack Mapanje
    April 24, 1991 MALAWI Government releases many political prisoners Jack Mapanje and others still held Africa Watch welcomes the release of 87 political prisoners in Malawi, including some 25 held under presidential detention orders. The releases represent a significant step by the government towards complying with Malawi's legal obligations under the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, which it ratified a year ago. However, in other respects Malawi's performance still falls far short of the standards required by the Charter. In particular Africa Watch remains concerned about the fate of about 19 prisoners still detained without charge at Mikuyu prison, who include the internationally-renowned poet Jack Mapanje. The release of political prisoners began at the beginning of January, when George Mtafu, Margaret Marango Banda, Blaise Machila and William Masiku were set free: George Mtafu, who had been held without charge at Chichiri Prison, is Malawi's only neurosurgeon. He was arrested in February 1989 because he had criticized discrimination against civil servants who originated from Malawi's northern region, in particular the forcible redeployment of school teachers to their district of origin. Margaret Marango Banda, a former announcer with the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation, was an official of the Chitukuko Cha Amai mu Malawi (CCAM), the national women's organization. She is believed to have criticized corruption in the CCAM, which is headed by Cecilia Tamanda Kadzamira, the country's "Official Hostess." She was arrested in July 1988 and held without charge at Zomba Prison. Blaise Machila used to be a lecturer in English at Chancellor College in the University of Malawi.
