*The mass graves of Bor, South Sudan
<http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?reportid=99699>*
[image: lead photo]BOR, 24 February 2014 (IRIN) - A handful of volunteers
in almost deserted Bor, capital of South Sudan's Jonglei State, remove dead
bodies from homes, put them in body bags donated by the International
Committee of the Red Cross, and place them in mass graves. Since the
emergence of an armed rebellion in mid-December, government troops have
lost and won control of the town several times. On 23 February, the army
said it had repelled further attempts to take Bor.

[image: lead photo]RUMBEK, 25 February 2014 (IRIN) - The 101 civilians
holed up in two large tents and a washroom block in a UN base in the South
Sudan city of Rumbek may form one of the smallest such groups now protected
by peacekeepers, but their conditions and fears are typical of the 75,000
people now living in such bases across the country.

*African migrants in Israel face "voluntary" return or detention

has released figures showing that the number of African migrants choosing
to accept "voluntary departure" from the country has been steadily

December 2013, with about 2,200 departures recorded since the beginning of
2014.

*Poverty amid mining riches in Katanga
<http://www.irinnews.org/report.aspx?reportid=99716>*
[image: lead photo]KIUBO, 27 February 2014 (IRIN) - Katanga, a province the
size of Spain, holds many of DRC's reserves of copper, cobalt and other
valuable minerals. Scores of trucks thunder daily along its few paved roads
laden with metals bound for export and shipping through Durban and other
distant ports. However, few of the many millions of dollars in taxes paid
by mining companies to DRC authorities are invested in Katanga's economic
or social development, leaving swathes of the population mired in poverty.
