The FDLR has been in DR Congo for almost 15 years

A Rwandan Hutu militia, being hunted by a joint Congolese-Rwanda force, has killed more than 100 civilians in the last month, say officials.

The FDLR killed nearly 60 people in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo between the end of January and mid-February, say UN peacekeepers.

And Rwandan officials say the FDLR have killed almost 50 people this week.

The joint force said on Wednesday it had achieved 95% of its objectives and Rwandan troops would leave next week.

Correspondents say the FDLR’s presence in eastern DR Congo lies at the heart of the region’s instability.

Leaders of the ethnic Hutu militia, estimated to be more than 6,000-strong, have been linked to the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

Patrols doubled

The UN Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Monuc) said on Thursday the FDLR had killed 56 civilians and injured another six while razing villages around North Kivu province.

Fleeing people told peacekeepers the attacks had occurred between 28 January and 15 February.

Monuc spokesman Madnodje Mounoubai told the BBC’s Great Lakes Service that the peacekeepers had responded by more than doubling their patrols in the area.

Meanwhile, Rwandan military spokesman Maj Jules Rutaremara told the BBC that the FDLR had killed another 47 people since Monday alone.

Former enemies DR Congo and Rwanda teamed up at the end of January to hunt down and disarm the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR).

There are thousands of Rwandan troops in North Kivu but they are deeply unpopular after occupying eastern DR Congo from 1998-2002 along with Uganda.

In recent years, Rwanda’s western flank was guarded against attacks from the Hutu militias by Congolese rebel Laurent Nkunda.

But the Tutsi rebel leader was arrested in January after being invited by Rwanda to discuss the joint military campaign against the Hutu forces.

Members of Gen Nkunda’s National Congress for the Defence of the People (CNDP) group are now being integrated into the Congolese army after splitting from his leadership prior to the joint force’s advance into North Kivu.

On-and-off fighting involving the CNDP, FDLR, the army and pro-government militias has forced more than one million people in North Kivu to flee their homes since late 2006.

(btw, we found this video listed at our friend Steven Humour)

what kinda nonsense is this ?

I spent my time transcribing this much of this video so you can see what kinda crap is making the top of youtube these days.

and no I did not rock to the beat, even though it was kinda catchy.

what does this have to do what anything you ask -

well this is our response to the monkey cartoon in the nyp. that has everybodys’ tighty whiteys in a bunch these days.  this oughta loosen em up.

Protesters picketed the paper’s New York City offices

The New York Post newspaper has apologised to readers offended by a cartoon some people say was a racist depiction of President Barack Obama.

Cartoonist Sean Delonas drew police having shot dead a chimp, saying “they’ll have to find someone else to write the stimulus bill”.

The paper said it had been meant to “mock an ineptly written” bill.

Commentators had denounced the cartoon, and protesters picketed the newspaper’s headquarters.

“To those who were offended by the image, we apologise,” the paper said in an editorial.

However, the paper went on to accuse “some in the media and in public life who have had differences with the Post in the past” of using the row over the cartoon “as an opportunity for payback”.

“To them, no apology is due,” the paper said.

“Sometimes a cartoon is just a cartoon – even as the opportunists seek to make it something else,” it concluded.

On Tuesday President Obama signed into law a $787bn (£548bn) economic stimulus package.

The plan only passed through Congress after weeks of political wrangling.

‘Racist drivel’

The New York Post said earlier that the cartoon was “a clear parody of a current news event, to wit the shooting of a violent chimp in Connecticut. It broadly mocks Washington’s efforts to revive the economy,” said editor-in-chief Col Allen.

It was widely reported in the US that a pet chimp was shot in Stamford, Connecticut, on Monday after a serious and disfiguring attack on a friend of its owner.

Mr Allen’s explanation was rejected by Andrew Rojecki, co-author of the book The Black Image in the White Mind.

“The cops are saying, ‘Someone’s going to have to write the next stimulus bill.’ Well, who wrote the last stimulus bill? It’s Obama and the Democratic Party, but really it’s associated with one person – and that’s Obama,” Mr Rojecki told the Chicago Tribune.

“How could The Post let this cartoon pass as satire?” asked Barbara Ciara, president of the National Association of Black Journalists, in a statement.

“To compare the nation’s first African-American commander-in-chief to a dead chimpanzee is nothing short of racist drivel.”

Blog posts on the topic attracted hundreds of angry comments, while complainants reportedly jammed the newspaper switchboard and protested outside its headquarters.

The civil rights campaigner Al Sharpton said he associated the cartoon with “historic racist attacks” which depicted African-Americans as “synonymous with monkeys”.

Cartoonist Sean Delonas has stirred controversy before, with cartoons which have made fun of Heather Mills’s amputated leg and depicted Muslims as terrorists.

and while we’re at it, what’s up with this lil ditty ?
