BBC Twelve die in DR Congo from Angola toxic mine leak 3 Sep 2021 By Mary Harper

Nearly 4,500 people have fallen sick in the south of the Democratic Republic of Congo following a toxic leak from a diamond mine in neighbouring Angola, the environment minister says.

Eve Bazaiba said 12 people had died.


Last month's leak from a reservoir containing heavy metal by-products caused a river to turn red, killing fish, hippos and other animals.

BBC Logging threatens Congo biodiversity - campaigners 3 Sep 2021 By Mary Harper

Last month, the DR Congo government said it planned to end the ban which was imposed 19 years ago.

Campaigners said more than one-million hectares (2.4 million acres) of forest growing on peat swamps could be handed over to loggers.

If disturbed the swamps could release more than 10-billion tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere, worsening global warming, they said.

BBC Ethiopia's Tigray crisis: Millions at risk under aid blockade - UN 1 Sep 2021

The lives of millions of Ethiopians in the north of the country are under threat as aid supplies are not reaching the conflict-hit area, the UN has said.

In a stark warning, it said that there was in effect an aid blockade on the Tigray region.

A spokesperson for the government has denied that supplies are being halted.


Although aid can now move more easily than before within Tigray itself, there is a problem getting aid trucks into the region, according to Mr Leaity.

The only viable land route at the moment is through the neighbouring Afar region, but he says that logistical and bureaucratic hold-ups have led to long delays.


Aid workers say that 100 trucks carrying provisions need to get into Tigray every day but not a single one has got through since 22 August.
