re: trading parcel history From AllAfrica...

"Mulala said his men were fighting because they had not been integrated into the unified army in accordance with the April 2003 power sharing agreement between the government, several rebel factions and political organisations.

"It is a normal reaction when combatants have not had their pay for a very long time," Chikez Diemu, the vice-governor of Katanga, told IRIN from the provincial capital Lubumbashi, about 300 km southwest of Kilwa."

My comments...
Given they actually want to join the government and not fight it this will hopefully be resolved quickly and civilly. I understand Bills comments then regarding 'disaffected people seeking representation'.
