Democratic Republic of Congo. The Road to Destruction? There is a growing network of logging roads in Cameroon’s eastern region, particularly along national parks and forest reserves.

In the Forests of Ituri: July 2012
http://jmasselink.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
In the Forests of Ituri. Tuesday, July 10, 2012. Shushing the whispers: Sunday mid-day. They gave me a mango which they had stuffed in their pockets before our abrupt fleet. When they gave me the mango, I realized that I was actually quite hungry. We each enjoyed a mango and got our hands nice and sticky with the juice. After all, we were in a large mosaic of agricultural fields and fallows, and this was war! Who could withhold from us an ear of maize if we desperately needed it? How could I now explore ...

Congo Masquerade: February 2015
http://congomasquerade.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 5 February 2015. Here is a link. To an interview with me conducted by Francois Misser and posted on Dominic Johnson's blog. A shorter version appeared in the German newspaper TAZ.

Information in the recently leaked UN report about about Rwanda and Uganda supporting the M23 rebellion in North Kivu does not come as a surprize. The day Joseph Kabila and Paul Kagame refused to publically shake hands at the UN meeting in New York late September, I was visiting the Ruzizi II hydroelectric plant in South Kivu, an hour’s drive from Bukavu. The questio...
