As the UN agrees to deploys more forces to halt the DR Congo conflict, Laurent Nkunda, the rebel chief, acknowledges partial responsibility for the upheaval in an interview to Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege at a secret location in eastern Congo. But insisting that there is "no life, no economy, no administration, no justice", he says "you cannot destroy what is not there".

A tribal, ethnic and political war has been ravaging the Congo for more than 40 years. It has claimed more than 5 million lives, with no end in sight. Richard Roth reports from London.

May 2006 The West's demand for Cassiterite is fuelling the killings in Congo. Militias rely on slave labour to extract the ore, forcing locals to work in sub-human conditions. "Once you get down there, there's no air", describes one worker. "The rocks often bury us and you have to crawl through the tiny hole, using your fingers to dig." Labourers like him often go unpaid. They're forced to work at gunpoint by militias operating outside the control of the government. "Different armed groups do what they want with the population", laments minister Buta Muiso. But British businessman Ketankumar Kotecha sees nothing wrong in buying casiterite from the militias. "If I didn't do it, someone else would. I am not here as some kind of moral saviour."

July 2005 The major problem facing Africa is corruption and control of resources. In the DRC, the military is stealing minerals to sell to Western companies. At a remote mine in central DRC, workers with torches and pick axes hack at the ruddy earth. They are mining cassiterite, a mineral vital in the production of laptops and mobile phones. But dispersed among the miners are Congolese Government troops -- in plain clothes for the camera -- literally forcing most workers to work at gunpoint. 'The soldiers always steal everything. They even come to shoot people down the mineshafts,' complains Regina Maponda. Western greed for cassiterite is fuelling the boom -- at an airfield near the mine, soldiers jealously guard their loot as it makes it way to Japan and the West. Conflict mining is a curse, and it is difficult to see what the G8 leaders can do.

http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/congo : International logging companies are causing social chaos and wreaking environmental havoc in the Democratic Republic of Congo, home of the world's second largest rainforest. Our film reveals how the World Bank, by far the largest donor to the DRC, is failing to stop this destruction whilst the rainforest is being sold off under the illusion that it will alleviate poverty in one of the poorest countries on Earth.

Fighting in Congo has resumed and that has doctors concerned about a cholera epidemic if infected patients scatter to escape. Doctors are trying to contain the outbreak in a sprawling refugee camp near Congo's eastern provincial capital of Goma.

The UN is to send a convoy of food and medical supplies to help the 250,000 people displaced by recent fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Thousands of people have been displaced in eastern DR Congo amid fighting between government forces and fighters from the rebel National Congress for the Defence of the People (CNDP). The CNDP is led by Laurent Nkunda, a renegade general who says he is fighting to protect the region's ethnic Tutsis. The latest outbreak of violence is threatening to escalate an already disastrous humanitarian situation. Inside Story asks why this crisis has erupted now and how much of it is fuelled by ethnic tensions and the battle to control the country's natural resources.

AFRICA FROM A-Z : CONGO

LYRICS: "Faux pas" means "Wrong move" or "Wrong act" A song of Tabu Ley Rochereau, sang by the queen Mbilia Bel: [Verse] Stay there where you are, I've heard that you are requesting my address So you are being send by my rival I want you to forget my man now. I can't fight you because I'm peaceful I've been hearing about you quite for some time. You're being send to take my man away from me. Go back to where you are coming from. Ask to those who know about me when I go crazy. I've been hearing about you quite for some time. Where ever I would go you would inquire about my whereabout. You're being sent by my rival. But the one sending you is fooling herself. Now she's sending you to get my man for her, but at the same time, you yourself start to fall in love with him. "You can not leave a goat along with kassava leaves". You should know that the man is mine; You and your friend are temporary. I'm not strong enough to fight, but with my words I can piece you off. What can I say now, who is that one making a big mounth claiming my man? Oh no, I can't believe it, this is embarrassing, oh no, not to me M'bilia; The type of marriage we get ourself into has many faces. You wake up in the morning and you are being confroted with infidelity; You feel like going crasy, Not knowing what else to do, Oh no, not me M'bilia; In our time poligamy is taken lightly; In the time past it was dignified. Where is all of this leading us to? and to where are we taking this? oh no, not me Mbilia Rivalry is very painful, heartbreaking. You're coming from "I don't know where" and you want to kate my man away from me; I would lose my mind and I will do anything to prove you otherwise. A rival is only a "rival". What friendship should we have? What you don't want done to you, don't do it to another. It hurt, it's heart breaking. Now what else can I tell you? The man is mine. Who are you to claim my man? This is crasy. This is embarrassing! oh no; not me Mbilia *Special Thanks to Malala1974
