Fighting rages again in Congo's Equateur Province
DR Congo MLC rebel leader Jean-Pierre Bemba has charged that government troops attacked a northern town with helicopter gunships and fighter jets. Reuters reported on July 15 that Bemba said fighting occurred around the rebel-held port of Imesse on the Ubangui river. Bemba said government troops launched the latest round of attacks around Imesse from two helicopter gunships, two Russian-built Sukhoi-25 fighter jets and six ships mounted with heavy weaponry. UNHCR says the fighting in Equator province has forced more than 8,000 civilians to flee the country since May 15. Most traffic along the river Ubangui has been halted.

Canada's Secretary of State for Africa says aid to Uganda may be cut if any further fighting erupts between Ugandan and Rwandan troops in the DR Congo. Murray Oliver reported for The Monitor on July 14 that several international donors are now taking a strong stand against Uganda's role in the DR Congo. Canada is also the third largest private investor in Uganda. Kilgour said he will return to Canada with the recommendation that Canadian peacekeeping troops be sent to Congo.

I also hear interest is coming in on LCS/STS and that the next two weeks will not be dull

Regards
