I Z C N
- The IZCN has been seriously hampered by events in Eastern Kivu since the fighting started in October 1996. The IZCN guards have had to hand all their weapons over to the ADFL, making patrolling the park both difficult and dangerous. Popol Verhoestraete, IGCP/Zaire Project Officer, is working towards ADFL support to IZCN.
- The IZCN is in desperate need of uniforms, boots, tents and other camping equipment. In response to this need, IGCP has purchased boots, uniforms and waterproof jackets which are currently awaiting transportation to Goma.
