DR Congo: M23 Rebels March Towards South Kivu's Bukavu, Burundi Warns Rwanda | Firstpost Africa | N18G
As the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels continue their advance in the eastern DRC, the hearing of a historic case has begun at the African Court on Human and Peoples' Rights. For the very first time, the court is hearing an inter-state dispute brought by the DRC against Rwanda over alleged human rights violations. M23 rebels have seized significant territory, including Goma, the largest city in the east. They are now advancing towards South Kivu's capital Bukavu and have seized two towns on the road to the city, Ihusi and Kalehe. Meanwhile, tensions are also escalating with other African nations. Burundi, which borders both DRC and Rwanda has warned of retaliation if its troops are attacked by the M23 rebels in DRC. Watch this video for more.

The story of King Leopold of Belgium’s brutal regime in the Congo Free State, during the late 19th century, is one of the darkest and most important in global history. It is a story of horror - the murky depths of the human soul pushed to its primal limits, European colonialism and the first Scramble for Africa, royalty and politics, celebrity, and modernity. From that pit of depravity, in which the Congolese people endured unimaginable suffering at the hands of their dehumanising western drivers, the first human rights campaign was born, and one of the most seminal novels of all time. So, how was it that the Congo, Africa’s as yet unplundered, un-impenetrable, and deeply mysterious core in the late 1870’s, became the private financial reservoir of one ambitious monarch, while Europe looked on? What occurred during the reign of terror he unleashed there, and why? And, who was King Leopold himself, the troubled, cunning and utterly twisted individual behind it all?
Join Dominic and Tom as they lead us - following in the footsteps of Henry Morton Stanley, the explorer who first pierced the shadowy veil of the Congo in Africa’s interior, and let it bleed into the hands of King Leopold himself - deep into the heart of darkness. As the curtain is lifted from the Congo’s formerly obscuring unknowability, her people's grotesque future of abominable exploitation is revealed, along with man’s capacity for evil, and the demonic greed of one man in particular…

The full-rigged ship was the essential technology that enabled the trans-Atlantic slave trade to flourish. Between 1698 and 1807 around 11,000 ships were fitted out in England for the slave trade, transporting around three million Africans.
But the trade also employed other vessels, from in-shore boats supplying the slavers, to the Navy vessels that protected them. Sickness and disease were constant companions to both slaves and crew. Mortality amongst both was high, from disease, mistreatment, accident and suicide.
Dr Stuart Anderson explores the relationship between ships, slavery and sickness, and considers the measures eventually taken to improve health at sea.
