The Democratic Republic of Congo now says it will not free warlord Germain Katanga, at the end of his International Criminal Court imposed jail term on Monday. They say they are investigating him for other offences, including the killing of nine UN peacekeepers. The decision to hold Katanga is the latest chapter in a conflict that flared up in northeastern DRC, over a decade ago, but has continued to scar the province of Ituri.
