	Uganda In Eastern DRC - Ethnic Strife: Hema Against Lendu
		When Hema and Lendu resumed their conflict in late 2000, both sides had enough trained combatants to be in a position to inflict serious damage on the other.
		Hema and Lendu leaders twice signed peace and reconciliation agreements in 1999, but Congolese leaders consumed by their own quarrels and Ugandan actors focused on their own interests failed to support these efforts at peace.
		Hema farm owners who at the beginning of the conflict wanted to expand their land possessions faced resistance from their Lendu farm workers and villagers affected by the expansion.

	Hema people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hema are pastoralists and the preferential treatment given to them by Ugandan officials is blamed for igniting the recent Ituri conflict.
		The Hema are an ethnolinguistic group with about 160,000 members located in the eastern

		The Hema, who number about 150,000, have cattle and goats; the Lentu, who outnumber Hema by some 500,000, are mostly farmers and are poorer.
		With massacres, fighting between the ethnic groups known as Lendus and Hemas, and foreign rebels stirring things up, the residents are fleeing en masse; it’s turning into such a violent mess that the UN Security Council is sending in peacekeepers.
		The Hema and Lentu have never been buddy-buddy, but the latest problems in Bunia stem from their territorial battling for fertile land.

		Societal discrimination on the basis of ethnicity was practiced widely by members of virtually all ethnic groups and was evident in private hiring and buying patterns and in patterns of de facto ethnic segregation in some cities; however, intermarriage across major ethnic and regional divides was common in large cities.
		In addition, on June 11, Hema UPC killed 14 IDPs from Medu at the former governor's residence and their bodies were disposed of in a latrine.
		During the year, in the Ituri district of Orientale province, fighting between members of the Lendu and Hema ethnic groups (and other smaller tribes allied with either the Lendu or the Hema) resulted in hundreds of civilian deaths and the displacement of more than 500,000 persons (see Sections 1.g.

	ituri: "covered in blood"
		It is unclear whether these Ugandan soldiers sought to protect Hema from a sense of duty-in contrast to their fellows who did nothing or joined in killing Hema-or whether they had been privately hired to protect Tibasima's farm, an arrangement that Ugandan soldiers sometimes made for their own profit.
		Witnesses report that at the start of the conflict each Hema family had to give one child to the Hema militias or had to pay to be exempt from this obligation.
		A Hema now opposed to the UPC said, "Meetings of the movement became divisive as a core group including Lotsove, Lubanga and Dhetchuvi held meetings apart in Kilendu, a language not spoken by Hema from the south.

	Uneasy Peace Holding in Congo : SF Indymedia
		The majority Lendu tribe is known to have murdered many of the minority Hema group in the past several months but the two sides have been much more evenly matched over the past two weeks of fighting for control of Bunia.
		It is strongly suspected that Rwanda and Uganda have fanned the flames of a centuries old rivalry that arises more from the conflict between pastoral and ranching communities than from ethnicity.
		TORONTO (NFTF.org) -- There were reports Saturday and Sunday of sporadic fighting in the city of Bunia in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) (Background Report) despite the truce reached between the Hema and Lendu on Friday.

		From its initial involvement in a land dispute between the Hema and Lendu ethnic groups in 1999 through its joint operation with Lendu and Ngiti militias to dislodge Hema from Bunia in March 2003, the Ugandan Army more often aggravated than calmed ethnic and political hostilities.
		Hema Chief Kahwa Mandro was apparently the first local actor to solicit Rwandan assistance.
		These links undermined the credibility of the DRC government with Hema ethnic groups and others allied with them, and made it nearly impossible for the national government to serve as a neutral force in Ituri.

	Letter to Security Council Members on their Mission to Central Africa (Human Rights Watch Press release, )
		From its initial involvement in a land dispute between the Hema and Lendu ethnic groups in 1999 through its joint operation with Lendu and Ngiti militias to dislodge the Hema from Bunia in March 2003, the Ugandan army has largely aggravated rather than calmed ethnic and political hostilities.
		Urge the command of the Interim Emergency Multinational Force to be prepared to respond to attacks against civilians outside of Bunia, where reports describe continued fighting between Hema and Lendu armed groups, including in Aru, Mongbwalu and Tchomia.
		This should include Lendu, Ngiti and Hema militias, groups such as the FNI, FRPI, PUSIC and the UPC, as well as the RCD-ML, RCD-N and the MLC.

	Foreign interference, lack of authority fuel tribal clashes in Congo
		Ernest Wamba dia Wamba, the leader of one rebel faction fighting to oust Kabila, said economics and politics, not ethnicity, are responsible for the bloodshed near Bunia between the Lendu and the Hema.
		The Hema are running vast tea and coffee plantations on land claimed by Lendu to grow other crops.
		Lendu tribesmen have killed between 5,000 and 7,000 members of the Hema tribe since June, partly due to disputes over land in the fertile region, which borders Uganda.

	The Conflict In Sudan And Realities In The DR Congo - RESPECT e-Zine Issue 30
		Once one ethnicity or tribe oppresses another - either by means of violence or by impoverishment, and to economically and politically dominate and impose an oligarchy - the situation turns from bad to worse, because those who feel discriminated and humiliated develop hatred against the oppressors and their relatives as well.
		What the girl found particularly discouraging and depressing was that when she arrived in Beni, she encountered a similar climate of hatred by the Nande tribe (a Bantu community) against the Hema's, who were being assimilated to Banyamulenge because of their similar phenotype (morphology) and they are both pastoralists.
		I suspect AVREO might have believed they were hosting a "spy" as Miss Adidja looks like the Banyamulenge who fled because of their leaders' politicking, trying to attract the International community's attention to the eventual "extermination of the minority" that would have been planned against their ethnicity throughout the DRC.

		Believing that a Hema conspiracy existed against them, the Lendu militias began attacking Hema villages solely on account of their ethnicity.
		When the Hema militia UPC took over Bunia, first in August 2002 and again in May 2003, they adopted an ethnic cleansing policy, to empty the town of its Lendu and Bira populations, as well as the "non-lturian" Nande community, which was a commercial rival to the Hema businessmen.
		Thus a long standing rivalry between Hema and Lendu over the control of land and access to fishing rights now brings violence to various groups -- like the Nande, Gegere, Bira, and Alur -- said to be associated with one or the other of the original contenders.

		Societal discrimination on the basis of ethnicity is widely practiced by members of virtually all ethnic groups and is evident in private hiring and buying patterns and in patterns of de facto ethnic segregation in some cities.
		The fighting took place between armed Lendu and Hema groups, which are vying for the control of the town in anticipation of the complete withdrawal of Ugandan forces.
		Human rights abuses committed against Tutsis significantly decreased during 2002 but human rights groups have complained that discrimination against persons perceived to be of Tutsi ethnicity and their supporters has continued.

	ZNet Africa What's Behind The Killing In Central Africa?
		It is the case that the militias fighting over Bunia are based in two distinct groups, the Hema and the Lendu.
		As with many civil conflicts in modern Africa, ethnicity provides a mobilizing lever for politicians, just as it did in the Balkans wars in Europe in the 1990s.
		But the Congo war--including this latest episode, is about far more than ethnicity or regional politics.

	Aljazeera.Net - Congo massacre claims 55 lives
		The fact that societal discrimination on the basis of ethnicity is widely practised by members of virtually all ethnic groups in the Congo, made divisions easy to exploit.
		The area was the scene of fierce fighting between the Lendu and Hema militias in July and August.
		The area around Bunia is the main remaining trouble spot in the DRC, where a peace deal was signed in April to end a five-year civil war that claimed about 2.5 million lives.

	Ethnicity
		Rwanda in fact came into the problem just recently was because there was a faction on the Hema side which was possibly developed by Ugandans, the group of a man called Thomas Lubanga.
		The Hema and Lendu tribes have been engaged in sporadic fighting in Ituri province for several years.
		Some of them have been away for many years and they did nothing to deal with the problem of ethnicity that, later on, as we saw in 1994, destroyed the country.

		Both Hema and Lendu have suffered terribly as a consequence of this conflict, which, as I have indicated, has in recent years been exacerbated by foreign intervention and by the role of foreign actors using surrogates within the Congo for their own competitive purposes.
		WOLPE: You could certainly have very high levels of inter-communal massacres in which people are targeted for death simply by virtue of their ethnicity.

	FOR THE RECORD 2003
		While most were targeted because of their ethnicity, others were caught in the crossfire.
		Approximately 420 civilians have been killed in Bunia in fighting between Lendu and Hema militias since the departure of Ugandan troops in May 2003.
		There was a Lendu attack on that same locality on 31 July, with a significant number of civilian casualties.

		It was a power struggle but ethnicity was used, and we see it often misused in this way all over the world.
		Lacking a clear military mandate, the peacekeepers were rendered useless as militants from Bunia's rival Hema and Lindu tribes fought for control of the city.
		Their relative detachment from issues of ethnicity may bode well for the future.

		Fighting between Hema and Lendu militias as well as clashes between factions of the Congolese Army continue to cause large scale civilian casualties and displacement.

	ROAPE: Briefing - Congo: Waiting for Godot
		Media focus on 'ethnic hatred' between Hema and Lendu in Ituri where an estimated 50,000 have been killed since 1999 is off track.
		It doesn't take into account the instrumentalisation of ethnicity for other reasons, such as territoriality and control of natural resources.
		Although no one would deny that the Congolese people have been going through hell, particularly in the northern and eastern provinces controlled by rebel factions supported by Congo's foreign enemies, media reports have more frequently than not, over- simplified an extremely complex local situation with far-reaching international stakes.

	Uganda In Eastern DRC - Political Confusion
		A leader of the economically and politically influential Hema community, Tibasima took office when Hema and Lendu were already in conflict in the hinterland of Bunia.
		Representatives of the Hema and the Lendu from the Djugu zone, the area most troubled, came to the UPDF sector commander in Bunia as the ultimate authority in the region and called on him to contain a series of spiraling clashes in rural areas around Bunia.
		Many local people saw his appointment as adding strength to the Hema and this perception further exacerbated ethnic tensions in the region.

		But another Hema who had also lost relatives came over and prayed a blessing over this man and his family, asking that their hearts be changed.
		The first day was full of teaching, looking at the Trinity as the perfect model for all relationships, and God's original intention in creation where ethnicity was meant to be a blessing not a curse.
		Then a third Hema stood and began to confess the sins of their fathers - how the Hema monarchy had mistreated their Lendu subjects and had committed many sins against them, even burying some of them alive.

		The clashes between Hema and Lendu have sucked in other ethnic groups in the region, especially the Ngiti, who have fought alongside the Lendu, and the Bira, who have been associated with the Hema.
		Several peace initiatives in the region have recommended that the governor of the region should be of neither ethnicity, to build confidence in the impartiality of the administration.
		A key Lendu grievance is a perception of unjust accumulation of land in Hema hands, inasmuch as Belgian colonial administrators favoured the Hema at independence with large land concessions.
