"Nach den ersten Gewalttaten hatten wir keine andere Wahl, als alles zurück zu lassen und in die Stadt zu ziehen. Damals hätten wir niemals gedacht, dass unsere Vertreibung zu einer Reise ohne Ende, ohne Ziel werden würde. Wir bewegen uns, aber wir kommen nicht weiter." 

Over the last twelve months, the violence and displacement in north and central Katanga have escalated, with 92,000 people now known to be displaced. Already impoverished and traumatised, the displaced have been the targets of ongoing, rampant abuse and aggression. They have fled after seeing their houses burnt and losing everything, seeking shelter, food and medical assistance.

Ce rapport passe en revue les différentes formes de violence exercée contre les immigrants d’origine subsaharienne (ISS) qui se trouvent en situation de clandestinité, au Maroc et en Espagne. Le rapport se concentre sur les conséquences de la violence pour la santé de cette communauté, et met en évidence la vulnérabilité dans laquelle se trouvent les ISS face à l’incurie des responsables marocains, espagnols et européens, en matière de protection contre toute violence, souffrance physique ou psychique, menaces ou intimidation.

Last May, Bunia, capital of the Ituri region in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), was the scene of extreme violence. Conflict has persisted in this region since 1998, however since 2001 it has reached a new level of intensity. Several thousand people have been killed and hundreds of thousands more have fled on several occasions. Neither civilians nor aid workers have been spared these abuses, as shown by the April 2001 killings of six members of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in the vicinity of Bunia.
