D.R. of Congo: Army to train at World Heritage Site · Global Voices

Congo Rangers report that the Congolese Army is planning on setting up a military training camp at a World Heritage Site:
The Congolese military are going to set up a military training camp at Nyaleke, inside Virunga National Park. I was told today that after huge efforts by UNESCO, the European Union, the Congolese Institute for the Conservation of Nature (ICCN) and other conservation NGOs over many many months, all efforts have failed and we are soon going to see thousands of Congolese soldiers receiving training within the borders of one of the world’s most spectacular national parks.
