The latter was engaged in supplying production equipment and materials to crafts operators, logging, crude oil and refined products. ‘The group’s principal activity today is the direct purchase and export of some 5 million barrels of crude cil per ‘month around the world.

Other speakers: President Sasou of Brazziville Congo. In addition, they plan to invite Colin Powell and Kofi ‘Annan, as well as other regional leaders. Lexis Nexis: . Brief vet on the Republic af Congo (Congo-Brazzaville): The Republic of Congo is one of sub-Saharan Africa’s main oil producers, although 70% of the population lives in poverty. Oil isthe mainstay of the ‘economy, and in recent years the country has tried to increase financial transparency in the sector, In 2004 the ‘country was expelied from the Kimberly Process that is supposed to prevent conflict diamonds from entering ‘the world’s supply market. This followed investigations which found that the country could not account for the ‘origin of large quantities of rough diamonds that it was officially exporting. IMF debt relief to the country was delayed in 2006 following allegations of comuption (BBC). President Denis Sassou Nguesso: He is one of Affica’s longest-serving leaders, having first come to power in 1979, when he was installed as president by the military. President Sassou Nguesso led the then-Marxist- Leninist single-party state until 1992, when he lost his position in the country’s frst multiparty elections. As presidential elections scheduled for July 1997 approached, tensions mounted between supporters of incumbent President Pascal Lissouba and thosc of President Sassou Nguesso, escalating into all-out civil war atthe beginning of June. The entry of Angolan troops in support of President Sassou Nguesso a few months later precipitated the end of the brief but bloody war, and he returned to power. He gained his latest seven-year term after elections in July 2009 which were boycotied by the opposition, and from which the main opposition candidate was excluded (BBC, July 2011). Personal spending: In recent years the President’s personal spending, and that of his family, has come under scrutiny. A French judge announced in May 2009 that he would launch a landmark investigation into whether ‘the President (as well as Gabon’s late president Omar Bongo and Equatorial Guinea’s President Teodoro ‘Obiang Nguema) plundered state coffers 10 buy luxury homes and cars in France. A complaint filed by Transparency International France accused the leaders of acquiring millions of dollars of real estate in Paris and ‘on the French Riviera and buying luxury cars with embezzled public money (BBC). Brief vet on the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC): The DRC’s history has been one of civil war, corruption, and conflicts with several rebel ‘and government factions from neighbouring states. The Second Congo War and its aftermath have been particularly devastating in recent years, claiming more than 5.4 rllion lives (as of 2008, Reuters January 2008), drawing in nine African nations, and arming more than twenty ‘groups. Although the war formally ended in 2003, fighting occurs intermittently, and the prevalence and intensity of sexual violence agsinst women in eastem Congo is widely described as the worstin the world (Washington Post, September 2007). Ongoing strife and poverty continue to take a staggering toll. Malaria, diarthea, poeumonia, and malnutrition are top killers: the majority of deaths are due to easily treatable and preventable diseases through the collapse of health systems and the disruption of livelihoods (International Rescue Committee, 2008). 2 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-13323 Doc No, C05807926 Date: 08/10/2015 UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-13323 Doc No. C05807926 Date: 08/10/2015 President Joseph Kabila Kabange: Assumed office in January 2001, ten days after the assassination of his ‘father, then-President Laurent-Désiré Kabila; He was confirmed as president through elections in July 2006, and ‘won a second term through more controversial elections in 2011. He is a former guerrilla fighter, who participated in nearly a decade of war that ravaged the country, He fought alongside his father in a military ‘campaign from the east that toppled dictator Mobutu Sese Seko in 1997 after more than 20 years (BBC, December 2011). The BBC reports, “The five-year civil war led to shady business deals to mine its rich resources, but Mr Kabila has not been directly implicated in any. The same cannot be said of "the Kabila boys", his close circle of advisers. One of them, Katumba Mwanke, a minister at the presidency, was forced to resign because of accusations in a 2002 United Nations report that he was profiteering from the war through deals made with Zimbabwean officials,” (December 2011). Recommendation: Given President Kabila and others invovlement we anticipate you'll want us to quickly decline. Please let us know how President Clinton would like us to handle this invitation.
