| Equateur : Rapport humanitaire mensuel Juillet 2011 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 13:09:11 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo (the) FAITS MARQUANTS ? 1 124 cas enregistres dont 87 deces dus au cholera depuis fin mai CONTEXTE GENERAL La situation securitaire sur toute l?etendue de la Province de l?Equateur est restee relativement calme pendant tout le mois de Juillet. Toutefois, le mois a egalement ete marque par les actes de violence commis par des civils a l?endroit des militaires, policiers ou autres agents de securite. En effet, lors des evenements non lies, deux militaires ont ete tues par des civils dans les localites de Zongo (District du Sud-Ubangi) et Engalango (Sud Dongo). Dans un autre incident survenu a Monkonto dans le Parc National de la Salonga. Un agent de l?Agence nationale des renseignements (ANR) a ete tue par des braconniers qui voulaient prendre de force une femme pour l?amener dans la foret. C?est en cherchant a empecher ce braconnier que cet agent a trouve la mort. Selon les autorites militaires des Forces armees de la RDC (FARDC), ce presume criminel serait transfere a la Cour d?ordre militaire de Mbandaka pour jugement. Selon la MONUSCO/Mbandaka, tous ces actes risqueraient d?avoir des consequences sur les populations civiles. Il y a aussi risque, selon les humanitaires oeuvrant dans la province, de fragiliser le retour des refugies congolais vivant en Republique du Congo. Sur le plan politique, la CENI a cloture officiellement le 10 Juillet 2011 l?operation de revision du fichier electoral sur toute l?etendue de la Province de l?Equateur. Au total, elle a enregistre 3 770 951 millions personnes enrolees sur une estimation de 3 584 982 personnes attendues soit un taux de 105 %. Une delegation mixte composee, entre autres, du Coordonnateur humanitaire, des membres du corps diplomatique, membres du Gouvernement central et provincial et des journalistes a sejourne, du 20 au 22 juillet, dans le District du Sud-Ubangi dans le but de visiter les zones potentielles de retour et s?enquerir des defis a relever dans le cadre de la stabilite et de reintegration des retournes. La delegation a visite les realisations des acteurs humanitaires, rencontre les autorites locales, et echange sur les priorites a entrevoir avec quelques rapatries spontanes. La delegation a aussi rencontre les autorites locales de la Republique du Congo a Betou et la communaute des refugies de la RDC afin de discuter de la possibilite de leur prochain rapatriement. |

 Geospatial Analysis Report on Somali Pirate Attacks (2005-2009) UNOSAT 29 Sep 2011 2:30:18 PM Publication Release Notes: In 2010, UNOSAT produced an internal UN report on Somali pirate attacks based on a detailed geospatial study of available data between 2005 and 2009. This limited distribution report was conducted in support of on-going humanitarian operations in the Horn of Africa. As part of UNOSATs expanding geospatial research on human security challenges, this report produced in 2010 has now been released for public distribution. Main Analysis Findings: 1) ?The Piracy Big Bang? : Somali piracy underwent a qualitative transformation between 2007 and 2008 following strategic changes in their rules of engagement and the early development of an operational blue water naval capacity in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean; 2) The standard indicators commonly cited as evidence of growing international naval pressure on piracy (1. falling hijacking rates and 2. the growth of piracy in the Indian Ocean) are more complex than originally thought and less convincing as primary barometers for measuring the success of international counter-piracy efforts. 3) The observed drop in hijacking success rates must be qualified by a potential statistical bias resulting from changes in attack reporting over time, and may reflect a naturally occurring decline resulting from more aggressive pirate rules of engagement and a large influx of untrained pirate recruits. Further, a detailed spatial and temporal analysis of piracy in the Indian Ocean strongly suggests that pirate militias originally viewed their move into deep ocean waters as part of a larger expansion strategy, predating major naval patrols in the Gulf of Aden. Piracy Attack data sources: ONI, IMB-ICC, IMO, NATO, EU, MSC(HOA). Satellite data sources: ESA, NASA (QuiKscat processing by REMSS.) GIS Data from NGA, USGS, ESRI and UNOSAT |
