In DR Congo, the regional force deployed by East African nations to stop the M23 rebels' advance in the east of the country is coming under scrutiny. While the regional force maintains that the rebels are gradually withdrawing from the territories they conquered, dubious Congolese authorities are demanding a "truthful discussion" on the mandate of the East African Community's force. On May 9, President Felix Tshisekedi expressed his disappointment, hinting that the troops could depart by the end of June. Our correspondents report.

A global goal to attain net-zero emissions by 2050 is contributing to a surge in demand for electric cars.
The batteries that power these vehicles contain cobalt, much of which is mined in Democratic Republic of Congo.
It is dangerous work, but many miners say they are not getting their fair share of the spoils.

Al Jazeera's @Malcolm Webb reports from Lualaba Province, DR Congo.

The Democratic Republic of Congo's military has launched an operation against a Ugandan rebel group who call themselves, "The Allied Democratic Forces", commonly known as the ADF. The ADF is suspected of killing 15 Tanzanian UN peacekeepers in December.

Troops are targeting members of the ADF near the town of Beni, in Congo's North Kivu province.

Five thousand diggers pack tightly together at the bottom of a crater in southeastern DR Congo, swinging hammers and picks to prise chunks of speckled blue-gold ore from the earth. The huge pit in Shabara, about 45 kilometres (30 miles) from Kolwezi, is home to cobalt - a strategic metal found in abundance in the impoverished central African nation. But it's also emblematic of a headache. The mining has been carrying on for years in flagrant violation of DRC laws and in defiance of the site's owner, a subsidiary of mining and commodities giant Glencore.

In this video, I am trying to find a way to get around the DRC - via the Angolan enclave called Cabinda. But, due to a broken crane, I can't take the normal ferry and have to take the cargo boat. However that boat doesn't run on a schedule and only goes if enough cargo is booked for it. Because of that, it often doesn't run for two weeks. I am very anxious to get out of Cabinda and do not want to risk getting stuck there for two weeks...

The official title of the Belgian kings is “King of the Belgians.” In Belgium, there is a difference between the titles “King of Belgium” and the “King of the Belgians.” The first suggests that the monarch is the owner of all of the country's land. The second title implies that he simply “reigns” over the Belgians in the constitutional monarchy that's existed in the country since it separated from Holland and the “United Kingdom of the Netherlands” in 1830. The Belgian king, and its been a king, not a queen, since independence, was never an absolute monarch, though in the 19th century, the king had considerable more power and influence than King Philippe does today.

The problem for Leopold was that he really wanted to be that king – you know, the “your wish is my command, Sire” type king, and he could not be that kind of a king to the Belgians, who had gone through much debate, internal strife and some bloodshed to prevent that kind of absolute monarchy in Belgium.

Much of Western Europe was going through the “Second Age of Imperialism” in the latter part of the 19th century. Great Britain's empire spanned the globe – the largest empire the world has ever seen. The French controlled a great deal of Africa and parts of the Middle East. Italy had a small African empire. Holland had extensive colonies in the Pacific, most notably today's Indonesia. Even declining Spain and Portugal had colonies in Africa and the Far East in the late 1800s.

Some in Belgium call Leopold II “The Great Builder,” for in Belgium, he sponsored and promoted the building of new roads, public buildings and a variety of public works, many of which are still in existence. Many in the country believe that that was his purpose in attempting to gain the Congo River area for Belgium – to improve and modernize the vast forested territory. He also wanted to spread the Christian faith and to bring Western culture and technology to the area.

Chase Your Fears 🐉

'We Are Congo' is a co-created documentary made by the citizens of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The film tells the story of the social, political, economic and human rights issues in the DRC from the perspective of the people who are most familiar with the country...its citizens.

Read the report: https://bit.ly/2P1tWfi

(Goma, July 30, 2020) – Criminal gangs have kidnapped for ransom at least 170 people near the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo between April 2017 and March 2020, Human Rights Watch said today. Small groups armed with guns and machetes have beaten, tortured, and murdered hostages, raping women and girls, who make up more than half of them, while using threats to extort money from their families.

The UN has been asked to leave the Democratic Republic of Congo after a peacekeeping mission left dozens dead.

Peacekeepers and an 11-year-old child were among those killed during a protest against the UN's mission in Goma.

The government has since joined calls for the mission to end, but fears suggest the UN leaving could have a big impact on the humanitarian efforts in one of the poorest countries on the planet.
