	MAR \| Data \| Assessment for Ngbandi in the Dem. Rep. of the Congo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Each region had the same number of entries to the university available, so regions such as Equateur, which is sparsely populated, were favored, while regions that are densely populated, such as Bas-Zaire, were at a disadvantage.
		The DSP was first trained by the Israeli military in 1983 and it was responsible for several attacks against Mobutu's opposition, including the killing of students in Lubumbashi in Shaba Province in 1990 and blowing up the opposition presses of Elima in 1991.
		Although one would suspect that the Ngbandi past as Mobutu’s loyal soldiers would have subjected them to harsh government repression, this was largely avoided as the Ngbandi complied when Kabila called for the former government soldiers to put down their arms and surrender peacefully.

		A humanitarian mission to Gemena in Equateur province on 4 November found that the overall situation in the MLC-held town appeared to be fairly stable and that reports of widespread destruction due to air raids by Kinshasa's allies had been "gravely exaggerated".
		While northern Equateur was relatively stable, there was a need to assess eastern parts of the province, where it was feared the humanitarian situation could be critical on account of conflict and sustained population displacement, the report added.
		Refugees are arriving from the provinces of Makamba, Rutana, Gitega and Kirundo and report continuing fighting between rebels and government forces.

	UNHCR - Successful reintegration of refugees in DRC's Equateur province
		DONGO, Democratic Republic of the Congo, June 27 (UNHCR) – The reintegration of thousands of refugees around Dongo in Democratic Republic of the Congo's (DRC) Equateur province is surpassing expectations and could encourage others to return from neighbouring Republic of Congo.
		But despite the positive reintegration trends and the high level of returns, the lack of funding for UNHCR's voluntary repatriation programme for Congolese refugees remains a significant problem that could ultimately affect returns planned for the second half of this year.
		The number of returnees for the whole province is 15,000, or about a quarter of those who fled in 1998.

	A pattern of factional rebel disputes (Human Rights Watch, June 11, 2001)

		Mbusa in turn left to exile in South Africa soon after the merger, reportedly due to his discomfort at the predominance of MLC cadres in the military and civilian command structures of the new Front.
		The current fighting pits soldiers from Equateur province, described as Lingala speakers, against local fighters, otherwise known as pro-Mbusa or Swahili Speakers, who remained loyal to Mbusa Nyamwisi, even during his prolonged and continuing absence.

		There is currently no evidence suggesting that political organizations supporting Ngbandi interests are making a pitch for national power, nor is their recent substantiation of protest or rebellion in the Equateur province (PROT98-00 = 0; REB98-00 = 0).
		Mobutu's rule was based on bonds of personal loyalty between himself and his close followers who included members of the MPR (Popular Revolutionary Party), for a long time Zaire's only legal political party, and certain key people in his security forces.
		For more recent years, there is simply not enough specific information available to speculate on potential repressionary tactics (REP98-00 = 0 for all categories although Amnesty International provides general information claiming repression in Equateur Province).
