KIVU: Italian ambassador Luca Attanasio, his body guard Vittorio Iacovacci, and Mustapha Milambo, a World Food Programme (WFP) driver, died during an attack on their convoy on 22 February in Eastern DRC’s North Kivu province.
WFP is the food assistance branch of the United Nations and the attack happened as the ambassador was on his way to visit a school feeding project in the area.
In an interview with the Italian newspaper “La Stampa”, UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, confirmed that an in-depth security review of this incident is ongoing and that the UN is working “hand-in-hand with both the Congolese and Italian authorities as they conduct criminal investigations to ensure that those responsible for this crime are brought to justice.”

Dissident writer Mushtaq Ahmed passed away yesterday at Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmad Medical College Hospital in Dhaka a few days after suffering a heart attack in his cell at the Kashimpur High Security Prison.
At least, that is the official version released by the authorities; however, a doctor at the hospital claims Ahmed was already dead when he arrived at the hospital, after being he was removed from his prison cell.
Security forces arrested him last May and indicted him for violating the Digital Security Act after he criticised the Government of Bangladesh in a Facebook post.
In it, the intellectual complained that certain VIPs were getting special priority in COVID-19 treatment and that some doctors were not getting paid. The 53-year-old was also very critical of the government on a number of issues.
