News Round-up: Anyone have a bottle of aspirin?

• The government of Uganda confirmed reports that LRA leader Joseph Kony moved from the DRC to the CAR. Kony is dodging an indictment by the ICC, and refuses to sign a final peace agreement until the charges are dropped, but the Ugandan government says that it needs the final peace agreement in order to approach the ICC. So…what’s a conflict mediator to do? Meanwhile, Uganda is asking the government of the CAR (what little there is) for help in resolving the conflict with the Kony and the LRA. CAR is investigating Kony’s possible involvement in looting and raids in the country’s southeastern province. Way to wear out your welcome.
• Due process of what…? The government of Chad continues to detain people, without charges, following an attempted coup earlier this year. Human rights groups fear for the safety of the detainees after reports of torture at the hands of Chadian military and police officials.
• This isn’t a human rights story, but more of an interesting/ironically laughable headline for those of us who’ve spent any length of time in South Africa: Mozambique to aid SA power crisis. That’s right, one of the poorest countries in the world is compensating for ZA’s failure to update and maintain its own energy infrastructure. I love South Africa, I really do, this is just a bit amusing.
• Somalia: “We are not terrorists.” We just like to blow things up to get our way.
• Chinese authorities continue to tighten control in Tibet, and the Dalai Lama said that he fears for the lives of Tibetan demonstrators. Watch the videos on the BBC page—they have footage of unarmed monks clashing with riot police, and military forces and equipment pouring into the region by the thousands.
• “There is nothing about this place that is good.” The woes of the UN/AU mission in Darfur.
