[image: lead photo]KINSHASA, 27 January 2014 (IRIN) - On 16 January, the
Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) army (FARDC) launched an operation in
the eastern Kivu region of Beni to neutralize the Islamic Alliance of
Democratic Forces (ADF-NALU) militia, whose prominence has been growing
amid fears of its links with global terrorist movements. The FARDC
offensive, dubbed 'Sokola', meaning to "clean out" in the Lingala language,
follows the successful November routing out of the M23 militia after a
joint UN-FARDC exercise.

[image: lead photo]LONDON, 31 January 2014 (IRIN) - The archbishop and the
imam make an impressive double act, picking up each other's cues, and
batting topics back and forth between them. The Central African Republic's

support for a more active international engagement in the crisis.
