(JED/IFEX) – Shimba Ndala, publisher of the weekly newspaper “La Cheminée”, based in Lubumbashi (county town of Katanga province, in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s south-east), has been forced to go underground. According to information received by JED, Ndala is being actively sought by National Information Agency (Agence nationale de renseignements, ANR) officers.
The motive for this manhunt is apparently the publication of an article concerning the search and sealing off of the National Assembly’s (parliament’s) seat in Lubumbashi on Saturday 14 October 2000. The article appeared in the 20 October edition of “La Cheminée”.
