The Congo: Militias and violence | DW Documentary
Militias rule northeastern Congo through fear and bloodshed. The central government has little to no authority here. Mama Faida saw her own family murdered - and joined a militia to seek revenge.
Many of the local people see the militias as their only chance at survival. If they don’t have the right stuff to be fighters or some other ray of hope, they have to endure the horrors of life under the competing gangs. For years, the Congolese government has been powerless to stop the marauders. Not even the 20,000-strong UN peacekeeping force has proven able to protect the civilian population consistently, not matter what their strategy. DW reporter Mariel Müller rode along with the UN peacekeepers into a region off limits to most journalists.

Special report : Inside the Congo cobalt mines that exploit children
It is an essential part of most mobile gadgets sold around the world and demand for cobalt is soaring. But the process of extracting the mineral from the earth comes at a huge human cost.

What’s causing the conflict in DR Congo? - BBC Africa
What's causing the conflict in DR Congo?
Violence in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo has escalated in recent months, resulting in thousands of people fleeing and hundreds being killed.
Amid the rising unrest, tensions between DR Congo and its neighbouring country, Rwanda, have reached an all-time low as the two countries continue to blame each other for the crisis in the east.
These tensions threaten to undermine ongoing peace efforts in the region – prolonging the instability.
So how did this all begin? And what's being done about it? Joice Etutu explains.

Democratic Republic of Congo
The UN Peacekeeping Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo, MONUSCO, is calling for calm and responsibility as violent protests continue in Beni, in the country northeast. The UN peacekeeping office in Beni was damaged after an attack and staff members have been redeployed to other sites for their safety.
At the invitation of the Government, the Secretary-General’s Special Representative, Leila Zerrougui, took part today in a meeting National Security Council chaired by the President with ministers and military leaders.
She stressed that she understood the people’s anger and frustration of the population after further deadly attacks by the ADF. The Mission will work closely with the authorities to jointly find solutions for the people of Beni.
The UN Peacekeeping Mission is also concerned about both the dissemination of misinformation and calls for violence that have been seen on social media. The Mission calls on all political, religious and media leaders to support a return to calm, which is necessary both to fight the ADF and to continue the response to Ebola.
Just to note that there are 557 UN peacekeepers from Malawi stationed in Beni, as well as a Formed Police Unit from India with about 150 officers. There are also 150 Tanzanian peacekeepers who are stationed at airport.
Secretary-General
The Secretary-General has just arrived in Berlin and he is getting ready for an informal dinner with the leaders of the Greek Cypriot community and the Turkish Cypriot community.
Tomorrow, the Secretary-General will join Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, at the opening ceremony for the Internet Governance Forum. The Forum, a gathering of thousands of members of civil society, governments and technology specialists, is held this year under the theme ‘One Vision. One Net.’
As we mentioned on Friday, the Secretary-General is expected to call for universal and affordable access to the Internet by 2030, as well as for a world in which greater access to technology does not give rise to social and political divisions.
Also, on Tuesday, the Secretary-General is expected to visit a school, which provides technology training for refugees and he will also hold several bilateral meetings with Government officials, including Chancellor Angela Merkel.

What's causing the conflict in DR Congo?
Violence in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo has escalated in recent months, resulting in thousands of people fleeing and hundreds being killed.
Amid the rising unrest, tensions between DR Congo and its neighbouring country, Rwanda, have reached an all-time low as the two countries continue to blame each other for the crisis in the east.
These tensions threaten to undermine ongoing peace efforts in the region – prolonging the instability.
So how did this all begin? And what's being done about it? Joice Etutu explains.

MALI
The UN peacekeeping mission in Mali (MINUSMA) confirms that a convoy carrying peacekeepers and equipment from its camp in the city of Goundam in Timbuktu region, as part of the withdrawal process, reached Timbuktu city without incident on Wednesday. The complex operation involved the withdrawal of personnel from the Ivorian military contingent, as well as UN Police officers and a Bangladeshi Formed Police Unit. The peacekeepers had been helping to protect the local population, in the face of regular attacks with improvised explosive devices, in an area that has one of the highest levels of insecurity and the presence of extremist groups, particularly the Goundam-Timbuktu axis. MINUSMA currently has a presence at 13 sites. In close consultation with the Transition Government of Mali and other stakeholders, the Mission has been carrying out a phased withdrawal by first moving personnel and equipment from remote camps to larger hubs so that smaller sites can be closed. The Ogossagou temporary base was the first to shut down on 4 August. Personnel and Contingent-Owned-Equipment are gradually being repatriated to their home countries, and United Nations-owned equipment is being disposed of by relevant UN Financial Regulations and Rules, including through transfer to other UN peacekeeping operations.
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Mission and the UN Human Rights Office on the ground have released a report on human rights violations and abuses during the first half of the year. The report confirms that armed group attacks have had an increasingly devastating impact on civilians, particularly in Ituri, North Kivu, and South Kivu. It reveals that in the first six months of 2023, an average of nine civilians were killed daily in the eastern DRC, with armed groups accounting for 95 percent of documented fatalities – that’s more than double the number in the same period of 2022. The report also highlights 30 incidents related to the pre-electoral environment, including attacks by armed groups on voting centers as well as violations and abuses targeting human rights defenders, journalists, and opposition figures, including extrajudicial killings and arbitrary arrests by security services.
