U.N. Congo Report Offers New View on Genocide
By HOWARD W. FRENCH

A forthcoming United Nations report on 10 years of extraordinary violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo bluntly challenges the conventional history of events there after the 1994 Rwandan genocide, charging that invading troops from Rwanda and their rebel allies killed tens of thousands of members of the Hutu ethnic group, including many civilians.

Aiding aid workers

DAKAR, 19 August 2010 (IRIN) - Alcohol, excess sleep, drugs, social withdrawal and sex are some of the tools that humanitarians facing burnout use to switch off from the constant stress they face in a typical emergency response. But as research deepens into how stress affects the brain, mental health experts are hoping to build up natural resilience to maintain the mental health of field workers.

Rwanda's democracy is still the model for Africa
By Paul Kagame

A listener sent me a text message during a radio show after Rwanda's recent elections. It read: "I didn't vote for Kagame, but I still expect him to bring electricity to my village.” In this way it is now common in Rwanda to hold leaders to account, and to demand they improve livelihoods. Yet while few doubt my country's rapid social and economic progress, too many observers are blind to the successes of our political evolution.

Fear of authorities impacting on free speech - survey shows
by Gaaki Kigambo

Kigali: The deep-rooted fear among Rwandans for those in power affects their ability to express themselves freely - which consequently has an impact on political participation, according to a new national survey by the Senate.
69 percent of those surveyed believe the fear of authority is the major obstacle to freedom of speech and political space, followed closely by the mindset of nepotism and the legacy of Genocide.
