Hi Jake,

 

Hope you're well. I heard through the grapevine that Melanne Verveer briefed on a few DRC-related items today at the

 

9:15 and I'm not sure she had the latest information, so just wanted to pass to you in case you are interested.

 

First, I heard that she said that the Central Bank in Goma had been looted and that all the gold had been removed. I

double-checked with post and we understand that M23 attempted to rob the bank, but that MONUSCO (which is

 

conducting 84 daily patrols in Goma) intervened and was able to recover everything that M23 started to take out. (They

did this without a fight.) At this time, the bank is not missing anything.

 

Second, I heard that she said that M23 had blocked the roads and no food was getting into Goma. It is true that M23

 

controls the roads and the airport, but there is food inside the city and humanitarian actors are able to travel into and

out of Goma. Humanitarian aid delivery continues despite the airport's closure, as supplies continue to arrive in Goma

 

via truck and from the Goma/Gisenyi, Rwanda land border. Humanitarian staff in Goma have been able to reach over

110,000 people in each of the last two days with water and sanitation materials; and WFP's food distributions have been

 

largely uninterrupted for the more than one million people in North Kivu who are food-insecure. This is not to say that

we do not need to keep a close eye on the situation, but, under current conditions, there is not a risk of food running

out in Goma.

 

As an aside, I also heard that the Secretary discussed yesterday with AU Chair Dlamini-Zuma the issue of mobile banking

 

for DRC troops. She might be interested in knowing that electronic payments have indeed started, through given the

many logistical challenges in DRC, they do not cover all of the DRC military.

 

Thanks,

Madeeha

flashback to when Xi of China cancelled meeting with HRC - 2012

 

By Malcolm Moore in Beijing and Julian Ryall in Tokyo

3:22PM BST 05 Sep 2012

 

Mrs Clinton was told late on Tuesday night that Xi Jinping, 59, would not meet her.

Such is the tension surrounding Mrs Clinton's trip to Beijing that many suspected it was a deliberate snub.

Ahead of her visit, the state-run Global Times newspaper said bluntly: "Many Chinese people do not like Hillary Clinton […] She makes the Chinese public dislike and be wary of the United States."
