DRC: "Save eastern peace process from collapse" - IRIN

NAIROBI, 3 October 2008 (IRIN) - The international community must exert pressure on the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) government and ensure a "more impartial" UN peacekeeping mission to avoid a total collapse of the peace process in the east, a think-tank has warned.

Over the past month, at least 100,000 civilians have been displaced in North Kivu Province by a surge in hostilities between DRC forces and rebels loyal to former army general Laurent Nkunda, NGOs said.

A US-based NGO, Enough Project, has warned that the peace process in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is on the verge of collapse because of resumed hostilities between government forces and rebels loyal to Congolese general Laurent Nkunda.

In a report released Tuesday, the NGO set up to end Genocide and crimes against humanity said that the fighting had displaced over 100,000 civilians in North Kivu and hindered the work of humanitarian agencies.

The peace process in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo is on the verge of collapse due to resumed hostilities between Government forces and rebels loyal to Congolese general Laurent Nkunda. Absent immediate and robust diplomatic pressure on the Congolese government and a more impartial effort by United Nations peacekeepers to stop the fighting, the region could descend back into total war.

Don’t Cry, Javi - Stilettos on Cobblestone (9/12/08)

This week I had the pleasure of attending a screening of Javier Bardem's movie, "Invisibles" (which you must say with a Spanish accent, por favor). A dear old friend of mine works selflessly at Enough, and has traveled to the Congo and witnessed some serious business first hand (without GPS, mind you). She was scheduled to speak on a panel with Javier before the film, but rolled with the punches and still organized a really effective, awesome event at Tribeca Cinemas.
