At least 401 people have been confirmed dead in the Democratic Republic of Congo following flooding and landslides last week, <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/5/7/dr-congo-floods-death-toll-surpasses-200">reported Al Jazeera</a>.
At least 176 people were reported dead on Friday and many more were missing as humanitarian workers recovered scores of bodies.
A further 205 people were seriously injured, while 167 people are listed as missing.
The flooding occurred when rivers burst their banks following heavy rains on Thursday.
Theo Ngwabidje Kasi, governor of South Kivu province in the east of the DRC told Reuters by message on Monday that the death toll now stood at 401.
President Felix Tshisekedi on Monday declared a day of national mourning.
DRC Government spokesman Patrick Muyaya said a team of ministers is set to travel to the region to coordinate humanitarian aid and disaster management.
The current rainy season, typical for the South Kivu region, is expected to last until the end of May.
The flooding and landslides in Eastern DR Congo came two days after floods killed at least 131 people and destroyed thousands of homes in neighbouring Rwanda, which lies on the other side of Lake Kivu.
Experts say extreme weather events are happening with increased frequency and intensity due to climate change.
Climate change refers to the long-term changes in global weather patterns and temperatures that are primarily caused by human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation.
The effects of climate change include rising sea levels, more frequent and severe weather events, and changes in ecosystems and wildlife populations.

Floods Kill 400 People In DR Congo

Former DRC leader Joseph Kabila last week reportedly sneaked into the country to discuss tension marring the Great Lake region which is shared by DRC, Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda, The NewsHawks reports.
In trying to explain the Great Lakes conflict, South Africa&#8217;s Accord said:
<blockquote>While the name ‘Great Lakes Region’ was derived from the freshwater lakes and river basins within the central and eastern part of Africa, for the purposes of this article the Great Lakes Region is defined within the context of the regional entity known as the International Conference of the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR).
In the ICGLR context, the area of focus is therefore the countries located in the east and central Africa – namely Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Republic of Congo, Central African Republic (CAR), South Sudan, Kenya and Sudan.
Thus, the Great Lakes Region constitutes a complex network of political and economic interactions with significant implications for peace, security and governance. It is also a region with interlinked conflicts and common fundamental problems that emanate from post-colonial challenges to state-building and nation-building.</blockquote>
Kabila who stayed in the country for 3 days reportedly had a meeting with President Mnangagwa and he stayed at the Meikles Hotel:
<blockquote>He stayed in Zimbabwe for three days and he was staying at the Meikles Hotel in Harare. As a former leader, he got security details from the Police Protection Unit and the Central Intelligence Organisation.
During his meetings with President Emmerson Mnangagwa, they discussed issues around business interest and the escalating security situation in the country.
During his meetings with President Emmerson Mnangagwa, they discussed issues around business interest and the escalating security situation in the country.</blockquote>
President Mnangagwa is part of the SADC Troika which is the regional body&#8217;s organ of politics, defence and security. It is possible Joseph Kabila spoke to President Mnangagwa in his capacity as a member of the SADC Troika.
Last month in DRC an <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/02/22/just-in-italys-ambassador-luca-attanasio-killed-in-drc/">Italian Ambassador to the Sothern Africa nation</a> was killed in DRC over unclear circumstances.

Joseph Kabila Flew Into Zimbabwe And Discussed Great Lakes Rising Tensions With ED - Report

Zambian leader President Edgar Lungu has thanked his Zimbabwean counterpart, President Emmerson Mnangagwa for helping his country resolve a border dispute with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
President Lungu expressed his gratitude to President Mnangagwa during the 4th SADC Virtual Ordinary Heads of States Summit and Governments hosted by Mozambique this Monday.
The border issue between Zambia and DRC was resolved during President Mnangagwa&#8217;s one-year tenure as the chairperson of the SADC Troika on Peace, Politics and Security Cooperation.
Zambian Foreign Affairs Minister Joseph Malanji said SADC has ratified the 1989 border treaty between Zambia and DRC, with the process of putting up beacons expected to be undertaken soon.
During today’s summit, Tanzania handed over the Chairpersonship of SADC to Mozambique.

ED Applauded For Resolving Zambia, DRC Border Issue

President Mnangagwa in his capacity as the chairman of the SADC Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation yesterday chaired the virtual SADC summit in which he emphasised that SADC wanted there to be lasting peace in war-torn parts of the Democratic Republic Of Congo, The Herald reports.
Addressing a meeting that was attended by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Tanzanian Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Minister Professor Palamagamba John Mwaluko Kabudi and Malawian President Lazarus Chakwera, Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi and Zambia&#8217;s President Edgar Lungu, President Mnangagwa said they were happy that there had been stability in the war-torn parts of DRC since the 2018 elections:
<blockquote>It is noteworthy that the situation in the DRC has been stable since the 2018 elections. I therefore exhort all stakeholders to forge ahead with the governance, security and socio-economic reforms required to sustain long-term stabilisation and sustainable development in the DRC
The elimination of the threat posed by armed groups will require a comprehensive approach at the national and regional levels. As such, regional co-operation remains critical, not only to the long-term stabilisation of the DRC, but to peace, security and development in the entire region.
It is my firm belief that our engagement today will allow us to agree on a common position that seeks to strengthen the operational effectiveness and unity of command and control of the Force Intervention Brigade.</blockquote>
Meanwhile, President Mnangagwa&#8217;s administration is under fire back home for human rights abuses in the wake of last week events that saw the government issuing threats, arresting, beating, abducting and torturing would-be protestors, alleged organisers and protestors which attracted global condemnation.

DRC has announced a new Ebola outbreak in DRC&#8217;s Mbandaka District which is over 1000 km away from another outbreak in the country, France 24 reports.
The new outbreak was confirmed by the country&#8217;s Health Minister Eteni Longondo who confirmed 4 people have died after testing positive for the virus after their specimens were tested in the country&#8217;s capital Kinshasa:
<blockquote>We have a new Ebola epidemic in Mbandaka. We are going to very quickly send them the vaccine and medicine.</blockquote>
WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus confirmed the outbreak and said:
<blockquote>This outbreak is a reminder that #COVID19 is not the only health threat people face</blockquote>
In April health officials were devastated after one person tested positive for <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/04/11/drc-records-one-more-ebola-case-2-days-before-declaring-the-epidemic-over/">Ebola just days before WHO was about to announce the epidemic over.</a>

New Ebola Outbreak Hits DRC As The Country Records 4 Ebola Deaths

A woman in the Democratic Republic of Congo has tested positive for Ebola after the country was getting ready to sign off the disease and declare it totally eradicated, The New York Times reports.
According to the publication, on Friday, WHO announced a new Ebola case in the DRC town of Beni when Semida Masika Muhasu a vegetable vendor tested positive for Ebola.
Just as health workers were getting ready to forget about Ebola and prepare for COVID-19, 2 days before the official WHO stipulated 42 days incubation period over, a new case emerged.
This means DRC when they are done treating the new Ebola case will have to wait another 42 days an equivalent of 2 incubation period to declare that the epidemic is over.

Members of Parliament on Tuesday heard that the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Grain_Marketing_Board" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Grain Marketing Board (GMB)&#8217;s</a> senior executives were involved in the allocation of subsidised maize to some millers beyond their plants’ capacity.
The undeserving millers would then divert the maize onto the black market and neighbouring countries as far as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
A senior GMB executive, Lawrence Jasi, has been identified as the culprit in the underhand maize dealings.
The Parliamentary portfolio committee on Lands, Agriculture, Water, Climate and Resettlement chaired by <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Gokwe" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Gokwe</a> Nembudziya <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Justice_Mayor_Wadyajena" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Justice Mayor Wadyajena</a> (Zanu-PF) heard that trucks from the DRC would offload copper in South Africa and then load the maize in Harare on their return to the Congo.

WATCH: South African Military Plane Crash Lands In DRC

Zimbabwe President, HE Emmerson Mnangagwa, in his capacity as the chairman of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation has denounced attacks on civilians in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) by Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) a rebel group in Uganda and DRC.
Reports suggest that the attacks resulted in the death of about 80 civilians thereby triggering the violent demonstrations against United Nations Organisation Stabilisation Mission in the DRC (MONUSCO) peacekeepers.
In a statement, Mnangagwa expressed condolences to the government and the People of DRC, as well as the bereaved families. Part of the statement reads:
<blockquote>The attacks in Beni have resulted in the death of approximately 80 people, as well as the injury and displacement of many people.
SADC is resolute in voicing its condemnation of the attacks that the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) continue to perpetrate on the civilian population in the DRC.</blockquote>
These remarks have attracted criticism from Zimbabwean observers who said that Mnangagwa was &#8220;hypocritical&#8221; since he &#8220;unleashed a reign of terror&#8221; on civilians back home.
Analysts also observed that the democratic space in Zimbabwe has been diminishing lately.

ED Expresses “Deep Concern And Strongly Condemns” Attacks On Civilians

According to local sports journalist Steve Vickers, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) business mogul and owner of TP Mazembe, Moise Katumbi has denied match-fixing claims involving his country and Zimbabwe at the Africa Cup of Nations. Wrote Vickers:
<blockquote>Update on the Zim/DRC match-fixing allegations. TP Mazembe owner Moise Katumbi totally denies that he paid Warriors keeper Elvis Chipezeze to fix the match. Katumbi says that he was only in Egypt for the DRC’s first game and then went back to Belgium.</blockquote>
The Warriors shocked supporters after a lacklustre performance which resulted in a 4-0 demolition at the hands of DRC.
Surprisingly, DRC had lost its previous two matches, by the same 2-0 margin to Uganda and Egypt.
Warriors third-choice goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze was uncharacteristically dropping balls resulting in two goals for the Congolese.

DRC Mogul, Moise Katumbi Dismisses Match-fixing Allegations

Former Dynamos and Warriors striker Roderick Mutuma led his DRC club FC Lupopo to a 1-0 victory over TP Mazembe over the weekend.
This victory was the first since 2008, with the lanky striker scoring the solitary goal.
Speaking after the match, Mutuma said:
<blockquote>This is a sweet victory for FC Lupopo fans, for Lubumbashi and for the whole of DRC. This is their happiest moment.</blockquote>
The nomadic striker has featured for several clubs which include Caps United, Highlanders, Yadah and Nichrut locally.
He has also turned out for Bloemfontein Celtic in South Africa, albeit, for a short period of time. He has found the net 5 times since moving to the Congo.

MDC president Nelson Chamisa said that the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) electoral body should release the results of the election held in the country on December 30.
The outgoing President, Joseph Kabila, has been in power for almost two decades. The vast, mineral-rich country has experienced years conflict as various militias and warlords fight for the control of mineral resources.
Chamisa said that the DRC electoral body must release accurate results and not undermine the voice of the Congolese people. Said Chamisa:
<blockquote>The DRC electoral body must release ‘accurate’ results timely and not undermine the voice of the Congolese people.
Kudos to the DRC Catholic Church bishops for standing with the truth. What Zec did in Zimbabwe must never be a script worthy emulating. Africa change, excel and shine!</blockquote>

The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (Zimparks) has revealed that it will soon be receiving okapi and gorilla breeds from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This comes after Zimbabwe recently donated 10 white rhinos to the DRC. Speaking to Southern Eye, Zimparks director-general Fulton Upenyu Mangwanya
<blockquote>Right now, we are having arrangements with DRC because we have some animals we want from them and they are willing to give us, but we are doing our homework first, because you can’t really take a chimpanzee or gorilla from there before you make plans&#8230;Just like they did when they wanted to introduce rhinos, they made serious investment plans and we are also going to do the same. They also have an animal called okapi which resembles half-zebra and half-giraffe and we also need it here. These are sensitive animals but want to make scientific research and find if it can actually live well here without any problems of habitat changes</blockquote>

Zim To Receive Gorillas, Okapi From DRC After Donating White Rhinos

Speaking after the Southern Africa Development (SADC) Council of Ministers summit in Pretoria on Tuesday evening, Executive Secretary of the regional block Dr Stergomena Lawrence Tax said the regional block was preparing to support the holding of highly anticipated presidential elections in Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Tax said advance observer missions had already visited Harare and Kinshasa and the next phase is the observing of elections. She said SADC was waiting to be invited to DRC and has already been invited to Zimbabwe. Said Tax:
<blockquote>How we support our sister countries is that we observe elections. In both cases we have sent and undertaken our advance missions. Those missions assess the preparedness of the country, and that was done in the DRC and also in Zimbabwe. The next phase will be to observe elections. We have already been invited for Zimbabwe. We are waiting to be invited for the DRC. The invitation will come depending on the electoral calendar. As you are aware, elections in DRC take place on the 23rd of December so we still have time to get the invitation.</blockquote>

SADC Prepares For Zimbabwe, DRC Elections

Well known political analyst, Ken Yamamoto, has claimed that during the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Congo_War" target="_blank">Second Congo War</a> which the Zimbabwean army participated in from 1998 to 2003, President Robert Mugabe double crossed kabila by selling arms to the rebels in return for diamonds:
<blockquote>Way before Marange, Mugabe and his military men had already started rampant racketeering, illegal mafia-style smuggling, double-crossing, double dealing, as well as illegal arms peddling with Congolese rebels. In fact, Mugabe double-crossed DRC President Joseph Kabila by selling arms to the rebels in exchange for diamonds used to enrich, not Zimbabwe, but Mugabe and his security men.</blockquote>
In the article in the NewsDay, Yamamoto explains how Robert Mugabe, through his military officials supplied arms and war resources to rebels in DRC well after the war ended effectively enabling the rebels to engage in their military activities against the Kabila government.
