Hema UPC militia men in position on roadside as Lendu militia men fire in their direction STORYLINE: Prosecutors at the international war crimes tribunal opened a landmark hearing on Thursday, which they said would show that the world will not tolerate the conscription of child soldiers. The International Criminal Court (ICC), hearing its first case, began considering evidence against Thomas Lubanga, an alleged warlord from the Democratic Republic of Congo accused of recruiting child soldiers and forcing them to kill and mutilate his enemies. Prosecutors say Lubanga's case demonstrates to military leaders that they can no longer force children to fight their battles with impunity. The United Nations estimates that some 300,000 child soldiers are involved in conflicts around the world. The hearing, scheduled to last three weeks, is meant to determine whether the evidence against Lubanga is strong enough to merit a full trial. Prosecutors say Lubanga's Union of Congolese Patriots and its armed wing, the FPLC, recruited children and trained them to kill members of rival ethnic groups. If they refused to fight, they were threatened with execution, they say. Defence lawyers say Lubanga is a pacifist who attempted to restore calm in Congo's lawless Ituri region. Lubanga, dressed in a traditional African shirt and matching blue trousers, identified himself to the three-judge panel as the former president of the group known by its French acronym, UPC. Asked by presiding Judge Claude Jorda about his conditions of detention, Lubanga replied: "They are neither good nor bad, such is the unhappy place that is prison." Thursday's hearing marks the first time prosecutors have presented evidence to a panel of the court's judges. Next week, they will call a witness, whose identity has not been released, to testify against Lubanga. Six children, 10 years old at the time, also are cited in the indictment but have not been publicly identified. None will testify at the hearing. After the hearing, judges have 60 days to decide whether to proceed with a full trial, throw out the charges or order prosecutors to amend their charges. The trial would last several months, and Lubanga would face a maximum life sentence if convicted. The case is a milestone for victims of alleged war crimes, and marks the first time they will be represented in hearings at an international tribunal. In June 2003 Associated Press Television News interviewed a child soldier from Lubanga's UPC in Bunia, a war-torn town in eastern DR Congo. "Right now the fighting is very heavy," the unnamed child had said, holding a hand grenade in his hands. Two ethnic groups - Lubanga's Hema group backed by Rwanda, and the Ugandan backed Lendu - fought for control of the town, the capital of resource rich Ituri province The presence of gold, diamonds and mineral resources in the province which are sold on the international market fuelled the fighting.

Close-up, UPC fighter with UN armoured personnel carrier in background STORYLINE Tribal fighters controlling the shattered Congolese town of Bunia were withdrawing to outlying camps in preparation for the arrival of a French-led emergency force, United Nations officials said on Tuesday. The pullout began as UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan called for nearly tripling the number of UN troops to help end tribal fighting in and around Bunia, capital of the mineral-rich Ituri province. However, the withdrawal will not be complete as the fighters of the Union of Congolese Patriots plan to keep some 700 bodyguards and military police in the town to protect their leaders and maintain law and order. The UPC - drawn from the Hema tribal community - has 15-thousand troops deployed in and around Bunia. Their withdrawal is part of a ceasefire deal signed by five rival Hema and Lendu tribal groups and the Congolese government - all of whom have been fighting for control of Bunia. The deal commits the warring factions to demilitarise Bunia and confine their fighters to temporary quarters. The vanguard of the French-led force of some 14-hundred troops is expected in Bunia at the weekend following the May 30 authorisation by the UN Security Council. On Monday, UPC leaders criticised the scale of the French deployment, which follows weeks of tribal fighting. At least 100 Hema people were killed by Lendu tribal rivals at the weekend and UPC chief Thomas Lubanga warned the deployment would not end the killings in Ituri province, which is as large as Rwanda and Burundi combined. Lubanga repeated his warning at a rally in Bunia on Tuesday, during which he was cheered by loyal militiamen. Fighting between the Hema and Lendu tribes has killed over 500 people since early May.

Lubanga repeated his warning at a rally in Bunia on Tuesday, during which he was cheered by loyal militiamen. Fighting between the Hema and Lendu tribes has killed over 500 people since early May.

Close-up, UPC fighter with UN armoured personnel carrier in background STORYLINE Tribal fighters controlling the shattered Congolese town of Bunia were withdrawing to outlying camps in preparation for the arrival of a French-led emergency force, United Nations officials said on Tuesday. The pullout began as UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan called for nearly tripling the number of UN troops to help end tribal fighting in and around Bunia, capital of the mineral-rich Ituri province. However, the withdrawal will not be complete as the fighters of the Union of Congolese Patriots plan to keep some 700 bodyguards and military police in the town to protect their leaders and maintain law and order. The UPC - drawn from the Hema tribal community - has 15-thousand troops deployed in and around Bunia. Their withdrawal is part of a ceasefire deal signed by five rival Hema and Lendu tribal groups and the Congolese government - all of whom have been fighting for control of Bunia. The deal commits the warring factions to demilitarise Bunia and confine their fighters to temporary quarters. The vanguard of the French-led force of some 14-hundred troops is expected in Bunia at the weekend following the May 30 authorisation by the UN Security Council. On Monday, UPC leaders criticised the scale of the French deployment, which follows weeks of tribal fighting. At least 100 Hema people were killed by Lendu tribal rivals at the weekend and UPC chief Thomas Lubanga warned the deployment would not end the killings in Ituri province, which is as large as Rwanda and Burundi combined.

Mid of newspaper seller STORYLINE The news that the International Criminal Court sentenced a Congolese warlord to 14 years in jail for using child soldiers on Tuesday was welcomed by many in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Thomas Lubanga was found guilty in March of recruiting, kidnapping and abusing children in his Union of Congolese Patriots militia - sending them to kill and be killed during tribal fighting over land and resources in Congo's northeast Ituri region in 2002-2003. Human rights activists working in Kinshasa hailed Tuesday's announcement. Georges Kapiamba, a lawyer and president of the Congolese Coalition for the International Criminal Court, said the sentence "gives out a strong signal to all the other warlords and militias in North and South Kivu, but also in the eastern province, so they know that sooner or later they will be accountable, they will have to face international justice." Lubanga's was the first guilty judgment passed down in the ICC's decade-long existence. Tuesday's announcement was the first time the tribunal has sentenced a convicted war criminal. Jonas Tshiombela Kabiena, the national coordinator of the network "New Congolese Civil Society", said the sentence was "strong message for the fight against impunity engaged in by the international community on our territory." Prosecutors had asked for a 30-year sentence for Lubanga, but said they would be willing to cut it to 20 years if he offered a "genuine apology" to his victims. Lubanga did not offer an apology. Lawyer Irene Esambo, who is the president of the Centre for Studies in Justice and UN Resolution 1325 based in Kinshasa, said the sentence was not enough to compensate Lubanga's victims for what they had lost. "What real compensation will these people see? This is symbolic compensation," she said. ICC Judge Adrian Fulford said the time Lubanga has been detained since March 2006 will be deducted from the sentence, meaning the 51-year-old will be free before he turns 60. Lubanga can appeal the sentence along with his conviction. Lubanga's case this year has brought increasing pressure for the arrest of his much more infamous partner in crime, renegade Congolese army General Bosco Ntaganda. Ntaganda had moved on from being a militia leader in Ituri to being the No. 2 leader in a tribal-based rebellion in 2006, when the ICC indicted both men for war crimes involving child soldiers. Congo's back-to-back civil wars that drew in soldiers from a half dozen nations killed an estimated 5 (m) million people - more than any conflict since World War II.

Perpetrators will only be deterred if they think they will be arrested for similar behaviour, and that makes it all the more important for the Congolese authorities to arrest Lubanga's co-accused, Bosco Ntaganda, who is currently at large in Eastern Congo, and there are reports that he continues to recruit children in the ranks of his militia." 6.

Their families are victims. They have suffered enormously. And this conviction can help give them a sense of closure. In that, it confirms that this is a crime. Children cannot be used in this way, and this is just one step in a long path to recovery both for the children and for their families." 8. Wide Singh walking down hall STORYLINE The International Criminal Court sentenced a Congolese warlord to 14 years in prison on Tuesday, a watershed moment for the 10-year-old tribunal and a potential landmark in the struggle to protect children during wartime. Judges found Thomas Lubanga guilty in March of recruiting and using children in his Union of Congolese Patriots militia - sending them to kill and be killed during fighting in Congo's eastern Ituri region in 2002-2003. Param-Preet Singh, of Human Rights Watch said that now that the sentence has been handed down, it is up to the Congolese authorities to track down others who are alleged to have committed similar offences. "Perpetrators will only be deterred if they think they will be arrested for similar behaviour, and that makes it all the more important for the Congolese authorities to arrest Lubanga's co-accused, Bosco Ntaganda, who is currently at large in Eastern Congo, and there are reports that he continues to recruit children in the ranks of his militia," Singh said. Prosecutors had asked for a 30-year sentence, but said they would be willing to cut it to 20 years if Lubanga offered a "genuine apology" to the victims of his crimes. Lubanga did not offer an apology. "This conviction can help give them a sense of closure. In that, it confirms that this is a crime. Children cannot be used in this way, and this is just one step in a long path to recovery both for the children and for their families," Singh said. It was not immediately clear where Lubanga would serve his sentence. The court has no prison cells for holding convicted war criminals, but has deals with seven countries to jail them, Denmark, Serbia, Mali, Austria, Finland, Britain and Belgium. Tuesday's announcement was the first time the tribunal had sentenced a convicted war criminal.
