"Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
...She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
...Strength and honor are her clothing: and she shall rejoice in time to come.
...She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
...She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
...Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all."
Proverbs 31: 10 - 31.

Some 35,000 flee renewed clashes in DRCongo: UNHCR
Fri Jul 24, 7:23 am ETSome 35,000 flee renewed clashes in DRCongo: UNHCR
GENEVA (AFP) - At least 35,000 people have been forced to flee recent fighting between government forces and Rwanda Hutu rebels in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, the UN refugee agency said Friday.
"These people have reportedly fled in the wake of the latest government military campaign code-named Kimia II, which began on 12 July in the Uvira territory of South Kivu," said Ron Redmond, spokesman for the UNHCH.
The government launched the campaign in a bid to force the Domcratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) and their local militia allies to disarm.
Some of the displaced are hiding in forests and villages, others have sought shelter in schools, churches and other public buildings.
Redmond also highlighted the violence faced by the displaced.
"There are widespread reports of IDPs of atrocities including accusations of murder, rape, and torture, on the part of FDLR rebels," he said.
"Fleeing populations also report arbitrary arrests, kidnappings, extortion and forced taxation by FDLR and various armed groups backing the Rwandan Hutu rebels."
The latest displacement brings the total number of civilians displaced in South Kivu since January to 536,000, added Redmond.
In the whole of eastern DR Congo, the number of displaced has reached over 1.8 million, said the UNHCR.

A Meeting With The Honorable Ngoma
The Honorable NGOMA represents Fizi Territory in our Provincial General Assembley.He and I met at the Mt. Kahuzi Hotel / Resturaunt because he wanted to encourage our project of installing 2 to 4 FM relays in Fizi Province.
The Dir. of a local FM at Kamituga came through the fighting at Mwenga to escape the problems of Kimya II last week. He and I visited several offices to get answers about the Kimya II program. He gets his daily news for broadcasting in his area in the jungle directly from Radio Kahuzi's many news broadcasts.
