'Foreign Aid to
Rwanda: Purely Beneficial or Contributing to War?' -
Read how the Rwandan mafia, known as the Akazu, uses foreign aid and Congolese
resources to keep itself in power. I also document how official
records prove that Rwanda has an export of coltan, gold, and diamonds
that does not match its domestic production.

'Plunders' DRC, Rewarded by World Bank
This rather uncharitable article
on Uganda's involvement in Congo by freelance journalists GUNNAR WILLUM
and BJØRN WILLUM was published in Aktuelt of Denmark June 17. We

World
Bank Awards Illegal Financing of Army: Uganda Encouraged to Pillage Congo
Uganda resorts to extra-budgetary
financing of its military by plundering gold- and diamondmines in neighboring
Congo. The World Bank, however, claims that Uganda is living up to donor
conditions of not spending more than 2 percent of the country's Gross
Domestic Product on the military. Therefore Uganda has become the first
country in the world to be nominated for debt relief amounting to 2 billion
dollars (Danish daily Aktuelt June 17-18, 2000)
