 Convicted war criminal Lubanga announces new rebel group in east Congo A convicted war criminal based in Uganda has announced a new rebel movement intent on toppling the government in eastern Congo's Ituri province, creating another potential security threat in the war-scarred region, Reuters reported. The formation of the Convention for the Popular Revolution (CPR) by Thomas Lubanga, an Ituri native, comes as Congo's army faces an unprecedented advance by Rwandan-backed M23 rebels elsewhere in eastern Congo. The International Criminal Court secured its first conviction against Lubanga in 2012 on charges of recruiting child soldiers and sentenced him to 14 years in prison. He was released in 2020 and President Felix Tshisekedi appointed him to a task force to bring peace to Ituri. But in 2022 he was taken hostage for two months by a rebel group, which he blames on the government, and is now based in Uganda. In written responses to questions from Reuters, Lubanga said the CPR h...

 APC rejects inauguration of nine Plateau lawmakers, insists on 16


The Plateau chapter of All Progressive Congress (APC) has rejected what it described as the forceful inauguration of nine out of the 16 elected members of the Assemby.

Plateau APC.chairman Hon Rufus Bature dismissed inauguration of nine out of the 16 lawmakers as democratic abnormality that cannot stand the test of time. 

Bature, who spoke with reporters after Friday’s  inauguration at Old Government House Jos said: “I received it as a shocking development for the Plateau Governor Barr Caleb Mutfwang to compel nine APC state lawmakers to succumb to the swearing in ceremony that only represented flagrant abuse of democratic tents and principles.”

The nine members sworn in are: Hon Yusuf Dickson Chollom of Barkin Ladi constituency;  Hon Abdul Adamu of Mangu North; Daniel Nanbol Lipstick of Langtang North central; Hon Denti Laven Jacob of Pankshin South; Hon Abel Nansak of Langtang North; Hon Bendel Nanchuat of Langtang South; Hon Wallangko Sylvester Ibrahim of  Bokkos; Kwarpo Mathew Sylvanus of Mangu South and Hon Eli Bako Ankala Rukuba. 

Ankala Isa Madaki Ajiji representing Jos East was elected as Deputy Speaker.

Bature insisted the remaining of the seven lawmakers must be sworn in to complete the 16. 

According to him: “In the face of this undemocratic and unconstitutional development, I made two strong demand, that all the 16 APC lawmakers must be sworn in. Secondly, all the 17 elected local government chairmen must be returned to their seats to function as democratically elected LGA chairmen. This is because the Supreme Court has already declared their dissolution from office as null and void.

“I therefore appeal to all people of conscience to compel the Speaker and Gov Caleb Mutfwang to tow the democratic path by ensuring all the democratic structures function without hindrances”

Speaker Gabriel Dewan after inaguarating nine of the 16 APC Assembly members on Friday said: “There is no saga in this House and for those who believe there is a saga, all what we are waiting for is for the due process to be followed. I was called that nine members have met the criteria and I have done my part by inaugurating them.”
