財經簡訊 記者: 雨田 陳健
華盛頓
2008年8月28日



8月28日星期四,美國股市全線上揚。當天公佈的經濟數據顯示,第二季度美國GDP年比增長3.3%,高於先前報告的初值和經濟學家的預期。上周首次申請失業補貼的人數連續第三個星期下降。另外,紐約市場的原油期貨價格下降2美元多達到每桶約115美元。各路利好消息令投資者感到振奮,三大股指收盤升幅均超過1%。

星期四收盤時,道瓊斯工業平均指數猛漲212.67,漲幅為1.85%,以11715.18收盤;標準普爾500種股票指數上升19.02,升幅為1.48%,以1300.68作收;以高科技公司為主的納斯達克綜合指數上揚29.18,約為1.22%,收在2411.64。

$$$$$$

8月28日星期四,在美國經濟今年第二季度強勁增長的消息以及石油價格從每桶120美元的當天高位回落到115美元等因素的影響下,美元對世界絕大多數主要貨幣升值,尤其是美元兌英鎊匯率攀升到25個月來的最高水準。

到截稿時間為止,在紐約貨幣市場上,一美元兌換109.59日元、0.6807歐元、1.0524加元、0.5466英鎊、1.1613澳元或1.1003瑞士法郎。美元兌人民幣匯率是一比6.833。歐元兌人民幣匯率是一比10.04。

$$$$$$

美國商務部星期四報告說,今年第二季度美國的國內生產總值(GDP)按年率計算增長了3.3%,顯著高於最初估計的增長1.9%。修正後的數據顯示,第二季度的出口同比增長了13.2%,高於最初報告的9.2%。進口下降了7.6%,是自2001年以來的最大降幅。出口增長和進口下降對當季的GDP增長貢獻了3.1個百分點,是自1980年以來的最高水準。另外,由於退稅款的刺激效應,當季的消費者支出上升了1.7%,略高於前個季度的1.5%。

$$$$$$

美國勞工部發佈報告稱,上個星期美國首次申請失業救濟的人數較前個星期下降了1萬人,經季節調整後為42萬5000人,這是連續第三個星期下降。過去4個星期的平均人數較前個星期的數字減少6000人,為44萬零250人。這是連續第六個星期超過40萬人,表明目前美國的就業市場依然疲軟。

經濟學家認為,有跡象顯示今年下半年美國的經濟狀況將不如上半年,因此就業市場可能會繼續走軟。

$$$$$$

8月份歐元區的零售銷售連續第三個月下降。彭博新聞社委託經濟研究機構Markit Economics進行的調查報告顯示,歐元區採購經理人指數從7月份的46上升到8月份的47.7,這是該指數連續第三個月低於50,表明零售銷售下降。其中,德國的零售銷售指數從46.4下降到44.1,法國的銷售指數從51.3上升到53.7,義大利的指數由38.2升至44.8。

經濟學家指出,這項報告進一步證明歐元區經濟正處於衰退的邊緣。第二季度歐元區經濟季比收縮了0.2%。

$$$$$$

歐洲央行發佈報告稱,7月份歐元區的廣義貨幣M3供應量較去年同期增長9.3%,略低於6月份的9.5%,並且是自2006年11月以來的最慢增速。歐洲央行將M3貨幣供應量視為衡量未來通脹壓力的一項指標。自2001年5月以來歐元區的M3增長率每個月都超過4.5%這一歐央行認定的非通脹水準。

有關專家指出,總體上歐元區通脹壓力依然存在,不過貨幣供應量增長減慢表明未來通脹壓力將可能有所緩和。

$$$$$$

德國的失業率在8月份下降到16年來的最低點。據德國聯邦勞工局公佈的數據,8月份德國的失業人口經季節調整後減少了4萬人,為320萬人。失業率從7月份的7.8%下降到7.6%,達到自1992年5月以來的最低水準。

專家指出,目前德國企業正在創造工作機會,就業市場發展依然非常健康,不過失業率通常是個滯後性的經濟數據,所以德國經濟放緩對失業數據的影響需要一段時間才能真正顯現出來。

$$$$$$

8月份英國房價出現近18年以來的最大幅度下滑,同時零售銷售急劇滑落到至少25年來的最低水準。全英建築協會(NBS)發佈報告稱,英國8月份的住房平均價格為16萬4654英鎊,年比下降了10.5%,成為自1990年第四季度以來的最大降幅。

另據英國工商業聯合會(CBI)發佈的數據,8月份的零售銷售指數從7月份的負36跌落到負46,創下自1983年7月開始發佈該項指數以來的最低記錄。

$$$$$$

7月份南非的批發通脹率上升到22年來的最高點。南非統計局報告說,7月份的生產者價格指數(PPI)跟去年同期相比上漲了18.9%,高於6月份的上漲16.8%和分析師預測的17.5%,並且是自1986年以來的最大漲幅。主要體現在電力價格同比猛漲31.3%。

經濟學家稱,南非的批發通脹率已連續7個月高於10%,需要對通脹預期予以密切關注,今後幾個月通脹預期將繼續給通脹帶來上行風險。

$$$$$$

日本央行政策委員會委員須田美矢子錶示,即使國際大宗商品價格回落,日本央行仍不應放鬆對通脹風險的控制。被視為鷹派的須田美矢子還指出,雖然日本經濟增長的動力正在走弱,但她預計經濟不會陷入像1998年和2001年那樣的深度調整。她表示,一旦確認日本經濟將恢復物價穩定下的可持續增長,央行就應當採取加息行動。她強調,日本央行將密切關注經濟下行風險和通脹風險,採取靈活的貨幣政策。

$$$$$$

印度的批發通脹率依然接近16年來的最高水準。印度商工部報告說,至8月16日截止的那個星期,印度的批發價格指數較一年前上升12.40%,略低於前個星期的12.63%。觀察人士指出,目前印度一些地區暴雨氾濫引發的洪災正在對農作物造成損害,從而將擾亂食品供應和導致價格上升。

有分析人士預計,到10月底之前印度的通脹率將達到峰值13.5%到14%。

$$$$$$

東盟分別與澳新兩國和印度達成自由貿易協議。東南亞國家聯盟(ASEAN)與澳大利亞和紐西蘭宣佈,已完成一項綜合性自由貿易協議的談判,預計將於12月份簽署這項協議。該項貿易協議涵蓋商品、投資、服務和知識產權。

東盟還稱,他們與印度達成了商品的自由貿易協議,但不包括服務和投資,預計這項協議也將於12月份簽署。去年東盟國家與澳新兩國的商品貿易額為480億美元。去年東盟與印度的貿易額為380億美元。

$$$$$$

東盟和中國宣佈,雙方的投資協議談判取得了實質性進展。第七次中國與東盟經濟部長磋商會本星期三在新加坡舉行,雙方就全球和地區性問題、特別是中國與東盟投資協議等問題進行了磋商。雙方在會後發表聯合聲明稱,部長們對中國-東盟投資協議談判取得實質性進展表示歡迎,並強調了在2008年12月第12次中國與東盟峰會舉行之前完成這項協議的重要性。

$$$$$$

中國第三大銀行中國銀行(BOC)報告說,今年上半年的利潤較去年同期增長了43%,達到421.81億元人民幣(約合62億美元)。高於分析人士預測的413.6億元。總收入為1189億元(約174億美元)。中國銀行稱,上半年的凈利息收入同比增長15%,為815.23億元。

中國銀行董事長肖鋼表示,今年以來銀行經營環境總體良好,但各種風險和不確定因素明顯增多。行長李禮輝表示,今年下半年中國銀行將積極應對經營環境的壓力和挑戰。

$$$$$$

美國的重型機械設備生產商卡特彼勒公司(Caterpillar )表示,受中國和其他新興經濟體的建築和礦業設備需求推動,預計今年公司的銷售將創下歷史記錄。該公司預計,今年在中國市場的銷售將達到20億美元,從而推動公司的全球銷售額突破500億美元。卡特彼勒董事長歐文斯(James Owens)稱,本公司在亞洲擁有相當多的礦業和發電重型設備訂單,因此到2010年公司生產的大多數設備都將售完。

$$$$$$

全球最大的鋼鐵生產商阿塞洛-米塔爾集團(Arcelor Mittal),將與中國湖南華菱鋼鐵集團組建合資公司,總投資65億元人民幣(約9.51億美元)。合資協議已於今年8月11日簽署。根據協議,華菱鋼鐵集團和阿塞洛-米塔爾將各持有合資公司50%的股權,公司註冊資本為26億元人民幣,該公司將生產電工鋼。華菱鋼鐵集團稱,目前這項合資協議正在等待政府審批。

$$$$$$

日本豐田汽車公司(Toyota)下調2009年的銷售預測。豐田表示,預計2009年將銷售汽車970萬輛。低於其一年前估計的1040萬輛。豐田上個月將2008年的全球銷售預測削減了35萬輛至950萬輛。2007年該公司的全球銷售為937萬輛。豐田表示,全球汽車業的前景依然不確定,預計本公司的主要市場美國的需求將會改善,但是不知道何時才可能達到汽車銷售突破1000萬輛的目標。

奧巴馬正式接受提名 抨擊麥凱恩 記者: 美國之音
華盛頓
2008年8月29日




奧巴馬發表演說向支援者致意
奧巴馬已經接受美國民主黨總統候選人提名,成為第一位美國主要政黨提名為總統候選人的非洲裔美國人。奧巴馬在民主黨全國大會上發表講話,繼續呼籲變革。

在科羅拉多州丹佛市一個露天足球場,這位來自伊利諾伊州的參議員星期四晚上在民主黨全國代表大會閉幕前出現在數以萬計歡呼的支援者面前。

在演講中,奧巴馬猛烈抨擊了對手、共和黨候選人麥凱恩,說麥凱恩“90%的時間”都投票贊成布希的政策。

奧巴馬說,美國人必須站出來說,布希政府八年的政策已經夠了。奧巴馬誓言以負責任的方式結束伊拉克戰爭,完成打擊基地組織和塔利班的鬥爭。

奧巴馬批評麥凱恩支援伊拉克戰爭,而不是集中努力爭取抓獲2001年9月11號恐怖襲擊的主謀本拉登。

在國內事務上,奧巴馬誓言要推動男性和女性同工同酬,他說,他希望他的女兒能夠與男孩子擁有同樣的機會。

在科羅拉多州丹佛市足球場進行的演講正值馬丁.路德.金髮表有關種族平等的演講--《我有一個夢》的45週年。奧巴馬演講之前,與會代表將觀看錄影,向馬丁.路德.金錶示敬意,同時聆聽這位被暗殺的民權英雄的子女的演講。

upn-07-world news-世行:發展中國家貧困人口超預計 記者: 許波
世行:發展中國家貧困人口超預計 記者: 許波
華盛頓
2008年8月29日



世界銀行的一份報告把全球貧困線由每天1美元的生活費提高到1.25美元,報告的研究結果顯示,發展中國家生活在貧困線以下的人口大大超出原來的估計。

世界銀行根據最新的全球物價水準制定出經過調整後的貧困線標準。按照這個標準來衡量,2005年全球每天生活費用不足1.25美元的貧困人口為14億人,佔發展中國家人口總數的四分之一。去年,世界銀行曾估計,全世界總計有10億人口每天的生活費用少於當時1美元的貧困線標準。2005年的數字是迄今全球貧困人口調查的最新數據。

儘管全球貧困人口的數量大於原先的估計,但是,世界銀行的報告也顯示,過去25年全球貧困人口的比例已經由50%下降到25%。按照最新的標準衡量,世界銀行把1981年貧困人口的數字由15億上調到19億。

*貧困問題的嚴重性*

獨立的全球發展及救援機構國際樂施會資深政策顧問伊麗莎白.斯圖亞特在接受美國之音採訪時說,世界銀行公佈的有關世界貧困人口調查的最新數據揭示了貧困問題的嚴重性。

她說:“雖然貧困化程度有所下降,但實際生活在貧困線以下的人口仍然比我們先前估計的多出4億。世界銀行的最新數據是採用更好的取樣和調查方法得出的。這種新的計算方法使得世界貧困人口增加了4億,這是非常令人震驚的。”

*脫貧的巨大差異*

世界銀行的貧困人口報告也顯示出世界不同地區和國家在貧困化和脫貧努力方面存在的巨大的差異。非洲的貧困化程度進一步加劇,從1981到2005年期間,非洲的貧困人口從2億上升到3億8千萬,幾乎增加了一倍。與此同時,非洲的貧困狀況也進一步惡化,平均每人每天維持生活的費用只有70美分。

但是,若論貧困人口的絕對數量,南亞則是窮人最多的地區,處於貧困線以下的人口接近6億,其中印度的貧困人口為4億5千5百萬,換句話說,全球約三分之一的窮人生活在印度。

*中國脫貧最成功*

中國是脫貧最成功的國家,貧困人口從1981的8億3千5百萬人下降到2005年的大約2億人,25年時間裏,脫貧人口高達6億多人。

國際樂施會的資深政策顧問斯圖亞特高度評價中國的成就。她說:“我們在中國看到大量人口脫離貧困狀態。儘管世界銀行修改後的數字也上調了中國貧困人口的數量,但是這不能否定中國有眾多人口脫貧的事實,這當然是一個好消息。”

中國貧困人口的比例由佔總人口的85%下降到15.9%,其中絕大部分貧困人口的脫貧是在過去15年發生的,表明中國改革開放政策在改善人民生活方面獲得巨大成功。世界銀行的報告顯示,如果按照絕對數量來衡量,過去25年世界貧困人口的減少幾乎全部來自中國;如果按照貧困人口的比例來衡量,不算中國,全球貧困人口比例就不會從50%下降到25%,而是大大縮水,從40%下降到30%。

*全球脫貧前景樂觀?*

世界銀行的報告對於全球脫貧前景仍然抱樂觀態度。世界銀行首席經濟學家林毅夫對媒體表示,自從1981年以來,世界貧困人口以每年1%的速度下降,他因此確信能夠實現聯合國制定的千年發展目標,即到2015年把貧困人口在1990年的基礎上減少一半。

但是,國際樂施會的資深經濟學家斯圖亞特表示,千年發展目標的實現也要取決於國際社會的努力。她以撒哈拉沙漠以南的非洲為例,從1981年到現在,貧困人口的比例竟沒有任何下降,27年的時間付諸東流。

*發達國家應兌現承諾*

她呼籲各發達國家領導人兌現對發展中國家的脫貧援助。她說:“聯合國9月份將舉行高級別的峰會,集中討論新千年發展目標的問題。我們希望世界領導人將攜帶真正能夠改善脫貧努力的方案出席這次峰會,幫助貧窮國家實現千年發展目標。”

國際樂施會同時也警告說,全球範圍的食品價格上漲有可能會使另外多達5億人口陷入貧困狀態,從而抵銷過去25年來的脫貧努力。

upn-06-world news-u.s.a. news-McCain to Reveal His Vice Presidential Pick Friday
McCain to Reveal His Vice Presidential Pick Friday
By VOA News
29 August 2008




John McCain and his wife Cindy wave as they board the Straight Talk Air campaign charter airplane, 28 Aug 2008
Republican presidential candidate John McCain will celebrate his 72nd birthday Friday by introducing his vice presidential running mate at a rally in Dayton, Ohio.

McCain's campaign announced Thursday the Arizona senator had made his choice, but would not reveal who the person is. McCain himself ignored reporters' questions when he and wife, Cindy, arrived at a Phoenix, Arizona airport to fly to Dayton.

Speculation has grown that McCain will either choose Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty or former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who waged a bitter fight against McCain for the Republican nomination.

Pawlenty canceled a number of media appearances Thursday in Denver, Colorado, where Democratic rival Barack Obama accepted his party's presidential nomination. But it was unclear if there was any connection to the vice presidential pick.


Senator Joe Lieberman
Another possible choice, Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, is drawing considerable fire from hardline conservatives over his support for abortion rights. Lieberman was Democrat Al Gore's vice-presidential running mate in 2000. He has since become an independent due to his strong support for the U.S.-led war in Iraq.

Former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge and U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison are also thought to be under consideration.

McCain aired a television advertisement Thursday congratulating Obama on a "job well done" for his historic nomination.

But in a separate statement, McCain's campaign Thursday mocked the classic Greek-style columns on the stage for Obama's speech.

The veteran Arizona lawmaker will formally accept the Republican presidential nomination at the party's national convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota.

Palestinian President Visits Lebanon

Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas is meeting with top Lebanese officials, on a two-day visit, expected to include discussions over the future of the large Palestinian refugee community in Lebanon, and the armed presence of different Palestinian factions on Lebanese soil. Edward Yeranian has more for VOA from Beirut.


Lebanese President Michel Sulayman, left, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas review an honor guard, at the Presidential Palace in suburban Baabda, Lebanon, 28 Aug 2008
The red carpet was out, and an official honor guard stood at attention, as President Michel Sulayman embraced Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at Beirut Airport.

Mr. Abbas met at length with President Sulayman at the Presidential Palace, insisting, afterwards, that he would like to express support for Lebanon's new-found political stability, following the Doha Agreement to form a national unity government in May.

The Palestinian president took great pains to thank Lebanon for what he called the "many sacrifices" it has made for the Palestinian cause, over the years, as well as his sympathy for all the "suffering" that Lebanon has endured.

Responding to a reporter's question about the armed presence of various Palestinian factions in Lebanon, Abbas insisted all Palestinians must respect Lebanon's sovereignty.

He says that his position on Palestinian arms inside Lebanon is that we agree with the Lebanese government completely. Palestinians are present in Lebanon under the law, and not above the law.

Lebanese political leaders have complained over the years that armed Palestinian factions, present in 12 refugee camps scattered across the country, have ignored the law and created pockets of instability.

The Lebanese Army lost more than 100 soldiers last summer, during a bitter and bloody fight with Fatah-al-Islam Palestinian extremists, holed up in the Nahr al Bared refugee camp, outside the port city of Tripoli. The camp was almost totally destroyed during the fighting, and its residents were forced to find refuge, elsewhere.

Former residents of Nahr al Bared continue to live in often squalid temporary quarters, despite official pledges to rebuild the camp.

President Abbas also indicated that his government's official position was that all Palestinian refugees must eventually return to Palestine, and not be settled in Lebanon permanently.

"Palestinian refugees," he said " must have the right to return to their homeland, and we are discussing the issue with Israel and I want to insist on the fact that we are opposed to the implantation of Palestinians in Lebanon."

Souheil Natour, a top leader of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which belongs to President Abbas' Fatah group, says that Mr. Abbas must stand up for the rights of Palestinian refugees, inside Lebanon, since they are often treated badly.

"One of the aims of the Palestinians is to guarantee the human rights for the Palestinian community in Lebanon, which are negated by all the Lebanese laws," Abbas said. "Until now, we are discriminated against, and I think the suffering of the Palestinians must be ended.
On the other hand, there are a lot of political issues who are not solved between the Palestinians and the Lebanese. One of them is the arms, and I think the Lebanese have their file and the Palestinians have their file. So, positively I hope they will discuss the matters with much more mature experience of the last decades."

The United Nations estimates 400,000 Palestinian refugees live in Lebanon. Most fled to Lebanon in 1947 during what Israel calls its "war of independence," and what Palestinians refer to as their "nukhba" national disaster.

Georgia's Parliament Urges Breaking Diplomatic Ties With Russia

Georgia's parliament is calling on the government to break diplomatic relations with Russia.VOA's Peter Heinlein reports from Tbilisi that the non-binding resolution was approved unanimously.


Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili visits city of Gori in central Georgia, damaged by Russian airstrikes two weeks ago, 25 Aug 2008
The text of the resolution passed late Thursday urges President Mikheil Saakashvili to declare Russian forces in Georgia "occupiers," and to cut all diplomatic ties with Moscow. All 106 lawmakers present voted in favor of the resolution.

After the vote, Member of Parliament David Darchiashvili of the ruling Unified National Movement called the measure largely symbolic, but said, "We cannot give any name to Russian troops other than 'occupation.'"

During a brief parliamentary debate before the vote, Defense and Security Committee Chairman Nicholas Rurua told lawmakers that "Russia is being ruled by former Soviet security service agents who consider the end of the Cold War as their defeat." He warned that if Russia does not stop what he called "its outrageous actions, it would lead to the disintegration of Russia itself."

Earlier, Rurua told VOA that diplomatic pressure has been effective in moderating Moscow's behavior.

"I think Western pressure already put on Russia has had its effect," he said. "It works and it will work because Russia depends on the West. It's not the Soviet Union that was self-sufficient."

A spokesman for President Saakashvili said he would have no comment on parliament's action. In an interview with the Reuters news agency on Wednesday, the Georgian leader brushed aside the question of breaking ties with Moscow, saying "I would not focus on bilateral relations right now."

Diplomats say a formal act of breaking relations would have little practical effect because all but two Georgian diplomats have already been called home, including the ambassador.

The parliamentary vote came hours after China and several Central Asian nations - the so-called "Shanghai Five" - rebuffed Russia's hopes of international support for its actions in Georgia.

This latest blow, on top of condemnation from the United States and Europe, has left Moscow diplomatically isolated. Georgian political analyst Archil Gegeshidze says even Russia's closest friends are keeping quiet.

"On the diplomatic language, this means Russia has failed," Gegeshidze said. "And so far, only the terroristic organization Hamas has supported Russia's recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Not a single state, not even Venezuela, Cuba, so far they have not said anything in this regard."

A Russian news agency Thursday reported that close ally Belarus might become the first country to join Moscow's recognition of Georgia's two breakaway regions.

US Military: More Than 100 Militants Killed in Southern Afghanistan
By VOA News
28 August 2008



The U.S.-led coalition says its troops have killed more than 100 militants during three days of fighting in southern Afghanistan.


In a statement Thursday, coalition officials said Afghan and coalition forces were on patrol in Helmand province Monday, when they were attacked several times by militants using gunfire, rocket-propelled grenades, and mortars.

Coalition officials say troops returned fire and called in air support. The fighting continues today.

Earlier, the Afghan defense ministry said Afghan troops were engaged in clashes with militants in the Nad Ali district of Helmand. Several militants were reported killed.

Also, Danish military officials today said Danish troops had witnessed Afghan soldiers shooting and killing an Afghan detainee Wednesday in Helmand. Danish media reports the Afghan prisoner had been in British custody.

Separately, Afghan officials say Afghan security forces have begun taking over command of the the capital, Kabul, from NATO forces.

Officials say the security hand-over is a largely symbolic move to reflect the growing strength of Afghan troops.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai announced the measure earlier this summer. Foreign troops will continue to patrol parts of Kabul.

There are currently close to 60,000 troops in the Afghan army, and that number is expected to grow.

Also today, President Karzai condemned the killing of a Japanese aid worker, calling it a cowardly act.

Clottey Interview With VOA'S Jack Kahora - Listen (MP3)



In the Democratic Republic of Congo, a team of emissaries would be meeting reneged army General Laurent Nkunda today (Friday) following intense fighting between the rebels and government forces. The rebel National Congress for the Defense of the Congolese People (CNDP) is accusing President Joseph Kabila's government of attacking its positions in the restive North Kivu Province, which led to the latest fighting. But the government dismissed the accusation saying it was the rebels who attacked government troops without provocation.

Analysts believe the latest round of clashes could potentially undermine the recently signed ceasefire between the rebels and the government. Jack Kahora is the VOA correspondent. He tells reporter Peter Clottey from Goma near North Kivu province that Congolese are scared of the insecurity generated by the latest clashes.

"The two parties have been fighting, but the fighting which occurred Thursday morning was the most intense since the ceasefire was signed in January. In fact there is a village called Kanumbe that is where the two groups fought Thursday morning. The two parties are accusing each other of having launched the hostilities, but up to now the situation is still unclear who begun the hostilities," Kahora pointed out.

He said the United Nations mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo would soon be investigating the hostilities to ascertain what happened.

"MONUC (UN Mission in DRC) is expected to launch investigations and to establish the responsibility between the two belligerents," he said.

Kahora said there has been ongoing clashes between the government and rebel groups in the restive North Kivu Province, which he said has gone un-noticed

"This is not the first time there are clashes between the two groups. But most of the time when there is a fight, there is the intervention of international community, which is involved in the process, but also MONUC, which also tries to approach the two parties. So, there is hope that obviously the two facilitators are going to be involved again and approach the tow parties I'm sure that the CNDP and the government are going to be called and so they can come together and sit together and try to negotiate," Kahora noted.

He said there is an emissary that would meet the rebel leader today (Friday) to ascertain his side of the story.

"I have heard that there is a mission which is expected to go to meet Nkunda's side this Friday morning. And this is to show that maybe this is a way of trying to talk to him and understand what his problem is and how he thinks the situation can be solved," he said.

Kahora said although the situation is unstable there it could still be salvaged.

"The situation is still a bit confusing somehow because there is sometimes no goodwill from both sides either from the CNDP or from the side of the government. It may seem as if each party is trying to focus on the opposition or his view and forget the rest of the population, which is suffering," Kahora said.

He said the insecurity is so bad farmers are unable to go to their farms to grow food for their families.

"The local people have not gone to their fields, they could have already produced six time what they usually produce, but they are unable to have access to their farms and they are just dying of hunger in the IDP (internally Displaced Persons) camps. This is really a situation, which is very dramatically unfortunate, and it seems as if the belligerents don't see the situation as a serious problem, but they are still entrenched in their position and are accusing each other. This is really a serous problem here in north Kivu," he pointed out.

The clashes were reportedly among the worst outbreaks of direct fighting between the rebels and the army since Congo signed a peace deal with more than a dozen armed groups in North and South Kivu provinces in January.

The January peace accord, which is a U.S. and EU-backed attempt to end a year of sporadic violence has struggled since the very beginning.
