After three days of heavy fighting, the army in the Democratic Republic of Congo says it has taken control of two key towns from rebels led by Laurent Nkunda. Heavy clashes around the town of Mushake in the country's east have forced at least 20,000 people from their homes, Al Jazeera's Yvonne Ndege reports.

January 1999 Fighting continued in Congo in 1999, despite the peace deal signed and cease-fire of January. Congo has become the crucible for a Central African war motivated by a scramble for resources and ethnic ambitions. The Tutsi led rebel movement won control of a third of Congo. Gains that are largely thanks to Tutsi support from Rwanda and Uganda. Meanwhile, in an extension of Rwanda's genocidal war, Kabila has been recruiting thousands of Hutus. Exiled here after the 1994 genocide, these refugees are a vicious fighting force. For them it's a case of unfinished business. On the ground the UN and Amnesty confirm the murder of thousands of ethnic Tutsis. Lifting the tarpaulin off mass graves the evidence is only too plain to see. Zimbabwe, Angola, Namibia and Chad have all been supporting Kabila's forces despite his unpopularity at home. It's a matter of protecting their own interests. The rebels though have also failed to win the hearts and minds of civilians. "We are tired, we have had enough. We do not need a Kabila yesterday, today the rebels and tomorrow somebody else. We have no peace. We cannot develop" With neighbouring nations openly sponsoring rival factions peace seems a distant hope.

June 2005 As head of the Nobel prize winning organisation, Medicins Sans Frontier, Rowan Gillies controls assets of millions. But that doesn't stop him regularly travelling to war zones to care for the dying. At a clinic in war torn Congo, Rowan Gillies is donating his own blood. Militia men attacked a local village and the clinic is out of supplies. He has ten operations to get through before supper and a media campaign in Geneva to co-ordinate. "I see going to the field as very much part of the job," Gillies explains. "The focus must always be on what we're trying to do, not on the institution." But he's regularly diverted by other troubles. MSF is being sued by the Dutch government. Between operations, he sandwiches in calls to MSF headquarters to check how the case is progressing.

30 January 2001 Laurent Kabila spent 30 years with anti-Mobutu guerrillas in Eastern Congo. These guerrillas became the Mayi Mayi - not a tribe but a popular defence movement. Under the command of Kabila's former companions, they have been fighting occupying troops from Rwanda since 1998.

July 2005 The major problem facing Africa is corruption and control of resources. In the DRC, the military is stealing minerals to sell to Western companies. At a remote mine in central DRC, workers with torches and pick axes hack at the ruddy earth. They are mining cassiterite, a mineral vital in the production of laptops and mobile phones. But dispersed among the miners are Congolese Government troops -- in plain clothes for the camera -- literally forcing most workers to work at gunpoint. 'The soldiers always steal everything. They even come to shoot people down the mineshafts,' complains Regina Maponda. Western greed for cassiterite is fuelling the boom -- at an airfield near the mine, soldiers jealously guard their loot as it makes it way to Japan and the West. Conflict mining is a curse, and it is difficult to see what the G8 leaders can do.

July 2006 The militias, formed during Congo's civil war, now control much of the country's natural resources. The government faces a big problem disarming them. The war may officially be over, but the militias remain. "Gold is the reason why every year, we have war and rebellions", states Ngabu Adirodu. It is still too dangerous for aid workers to travel without military escorts. The population is trapped between rival militias and the new army and many towns have been deserted. As one man states: "We are as afraid of the army as the militias."

April 2005 We travel into the heart of DRC along the 1,700 km Congo River. It's a journey that provides a rare insight into a country still struggling for peace. There's a saying in the DRC: if the river is happy, the country is happy. "The river ensures the unity of the country," explains director Jean Casongo. "It feeds us and it unifies us." But since the war, the river boat industry has collapsed. Now, the government hopes to revitalise it again.

10 October 2001 As the high tech age takes over more and more of our lives manufacturers will go to any lengths to get the sometimes scarce minerals that go into them. Tantalum is one such rare ingredient. Few of us know that in the middle of Africa much human suffering is created in the pursuit of it.

12 December 2000 Gentil, a fourteen year old soldier, claims he was abducted from school by Kabila's troops and sent to the frontline to fight for the government. Two months ago, Gentil was captured by rebels and he's now taken up their cause. At Bunya, headquarters of the RCD/ML rebels, Ugandan instructors train young rebels like Gentil.

Washington,DC-Monday,December 18, 2006. These are the opening remarks of the keynote address of Ambassador William Swing at The Brookings Institution. (In my book, this man is arguable the Mandela Congo couldn't produce.) The moderator was Michael O'Hanlon. The panel included: former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs (1997-2001)Dr.Susan E.Rice; Anthony Gambino, former USAID Mission Director for the DRC; and William G. O'Neill, a lawyer specializing in human rights and a UN consultant. The Congolese audience was crowded by Negationists of all stripes-with the notable exception of Mr.Serge Tshamala, a counselor at the Embassy of the DRC in Washington,DC. (This is first of series)

Congo's Mandela ends his keynote address. Then starts the wackiest Q&A session I've ever witnessed. Ambassabor Swing had to stand there and take in an expose from the craziest conspirary theory ever cooked up by the twisted brains of Honore Ngbanda Terminator: the hard-working Lebanese community in the DRC consists of members of the Hezbollah who, in cahoot with Kabila, are extracting uranium to make dirty bombs! How Ambassador Swing couldn't just burst out in a fit of uncontrollable laughter is testament to his resilience as a diplomat indeed.Shame on these negationists.(3 in series)
