Democratic
Republic of the Congo Counts Down to Elections Three
Militia Groups Lay Down Arms;
WFP Warns of Food Possible Food Shortages;
UN Official Says Elections Pose Challenges
 Three
militia groups in eastern Democratic Republic of the
Congo decide to lay down arms just few days before presidential
and parliamentary elections. Spokesman Kemal Saiki says
: "It is a very encouraging sign, especially
on the eve of the elections that large numbers of militias
are willing to renounce violence and to go back to their
communities."
 The
World Food Programme warns that it is running out of
food to help the needy people in the Ituri Province
of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The Democractic Republic of the Congo is facing many
challenges as it prepares for historic electiosn. Welile
Nhlapho of the UN Department of Political Affairs says
militias have made access to certain areas difficult.
" There have still been pockets of violence
in a number of areas in the eastern part of the Congo
certainly, some loose elements of both foreign and local
militias that are creating quite a number of problems
and making the place unreachable and inaccessible."

People
are stranded off the coast of Malta after being
rescued at sea;
The latest human rights report about the conflict
in Darfur;
President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia on
progress she has made so far
Fifty-one people are stranded
off the coast of Malta after being rescued at
sea as they tried to get to Europe but
Malta is reluctant to allow them to enter its
shores:  "We
are very understanding and very aware of the difficult
situation that the authorities in Malta are facing
given the fact that large numbers of asylum seekers,
refugees and migrants are landing not only in
Malta but also in other Mediterranean islands
at the moment "
What does the latest UN human rights report say
about the conflict in Darfur following the May
5th Agreement? "The
conclusion of this report is that since the signing
of that Darfur Peace Agreement, the DPA, there
has been no improvement in the human rights situation
in that Western Sudanese region. "
 President
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of Liberia says her government
has made progress six months into her term: "We've
put a government
together with a lot of dedicated, able people.
We've got sanctions lifted. We've got a new army
that is now being recruited."
