    NAIROBI

    In a statement issued this week, it called on the Kinshasa authorities to speed up the registration of Tutsis who wanted to leave and to improve conditions at the Mongafula camp where some 800 displaced Tutsis are currently living, for fear of persecution. Gabonese radio, reporting from Kinshasa, said many non-Tutsis were “flocking daily” to the DRC human rights ministry to try and register for evacuation. The radio quoted la Voix des sans Voix as saying ministry officials were exposed to corruption by Congolese individuals seeking to pressure them over the selection process.
