En Congo se descubre un paraíso para los gorilas
2008-08-09 00:57:00 Las noticias son optimistas para quienes amamos a los animales y temíamos por la extinción definitiva de los gorilas: existe en el Congo una gran reserva en tierras bajas y húmedas de gorilas.La población estimada rompe cualquier previsión y supera ampliamente los cien mil ejemplares.La foto de arriba es una muestra.Quien quiera, puede disfrutar de un video extraordinairo de National Geographic.A recent census in the Republic of the Congo found 125,000 western lowland gorillas?like the baby and mother seen above?thriving in dense forests and swamps in the northern part of the country, wildlife officials announced on August 5, 2008.The discovery, if confirmed, would more than double the world's estimated population of the critically endangered ape subspecies.Photograph courtesy Thomas Breuer/Wildlife Conservation Society/Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology-

Ex-Diplomat: Sex With Teens OK in Brazil, Congo
2008-07-11 12:55:00 ALEXANDRIA, Virginia — An ex-diplomat convicted of having sex with teenage girls in the Congo and Brazil and taping the encounters is asking a judge for leniency, claiming that cultural differences in those countries make sex with girls more acceptable. Gons G. Nachman, 42, pleaded guilty in April to possessing child pornography after admitting that he had sex with 14- to 17-year-old girls while serving as a consular officer in Brazil and Congo and documenting the encounters in pictures and videos. The judge has agreed to delay Nachman’s sentencing until Aug. 22 so that he can be examined by noted forensic psychologist Stanton Samenow. Defense attorney Stephen Stine said in court papers that a psychological examination might show that cultural differences led Nachman to believe that sexual contact with teenage girls was acceptable, and that should have an impact on what kind of sentence he receives. Prosecutors rejected the notion that Nachman’s victims somehow deserve...

News: UN Peace Keepers muffle negative inspection report
2008-05-24 22:06:00 I wrote before about the BBC and the Human Rights Watch reports on abuse by UN peace keepers in Congo, smuggling gold and drugs out of the country in exchange for weapons they gave to the rebels.The UN decided that "in the absence of corroborative evidence" its investigators "could not substantiate the allegation" that Pakistani peacekeepers supplied weapons or ammunition to the militia.The New York Times just published an article by Matthias Basanisi, the UN's deputy chief investigator in Congo at that time. He reveals nothing short but an orchestrated cover-up of the scandal:I was the investigator in charge of the United Nations team that in 2006 looked into allegations of abuses by Pakistani peacekeepers in Congo and found them credible. But the investigation was taken away from my team after we resisted what we saw as attempts to influence the outcome. My fellow team members and I were appalled to see that the oversight office?s final report was little short of a whitewash.The ...

News: UN troops smuggled gold, ivory and 'armed Congo rebels'
2008-04-29 22:29:00 An 18-month BBC investigation for Panorama has found evidence that:- Pakistani peacekeepers in the eastern town of Mongbwalu were involved in the illegal trade in gold with the FNI militia (described by Human Rights Watch as "some of the most murderous individuals that operate in eastern Congo"), providing them with weapons to guard the perimeter of the mines.- The Indians traded gold, bought drugs from the militias and flew a UN helicopter into the Virunga National Park, where they exchanged ammunition for ivory.A UN investigation concluded that one officer had been responsible for dealing in gold - allowing traders to use UN aircraft to fly into the town, putting them up at the UN base and taking them around the town. But the UN decided that "in the absence of corroborative evidence" its investigators "could not substantiate the allegation" that Pakistani peacekeepers supplied weapons or ammunition to the militia.It did, however, identify "an individual who seemed to have facilita...

The UN Continues Corrupting Itself - A Chavez Connection
2008-04-20 18:14:00 Cross-posted by Maggie at Maggie's Notebook, and at Reject the UNThe United Nations simply cannot be shamed. The anti-poverty agency within the U.N., the U.N. Development Program (UNDP), is using it's procurement power to favor Hugo Chavez.This is a dizzying web of deceit...it isn't easily explained, and the UN is hiding it's paper trail as I write. All the details are not known but here's my summary:The UNDP is charged with fighting poverty - their mission is anti-poverty development. The UNDP needs to procure goods and services to fulfill its mission. The agency has rules governing how those procurements are made. The rules require that bids be "let" and that the bidding environment be "competitive."Fox News (April 18th, 2008) discovered that much of the bidding was anything but "competitive," in fact, competitive bidding was waived "on more than half of the $1.5 BILLION in goods and services it paid for over the past three years."The same UNDP documents also show that by fa...

News: 14,200 cases of rape. With only 287 court cases.
2008-03-25 19:46:00 I wonder in which country one would accept a mass of 14,200 registered rape cases in two years, in one province only. Even worse: of which only 287 cases were taken to court. No-one would accept this, right? Right?Well, this is the case in South Kivu, a province in Eastern DRC (Congo), according to the UN Human Rights Council. (Full)Amnesty International reports tens of thousands of women and girls have suffered systematic rape and sexual assault since the devastating conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo began in 1998. Rape, sometimes by groups as large as twenty men, has become a hallmark of the conflict, with armed factions often using it as part of a calculated strategy to destabilize opposition groups, undermine fundamental community values, humiliate the victims and witnesses, and secure control through fear and intimidation. It is not unusual for mothers and daughters to be raped in front of their families and villages, or to be forced to have sex with their sons a...
