The damage resulting from the incidents between August 1998 and the end of May 1999
Damage recorded in the Kisangani Lotus Group report of 15 October 1998:
[List of 10 names]
And as a result of the bombing of 10 January 1999:
(according to the Groupe Justice et Libération report of 23 May 1999)
[List of 10 names]
(and a similar list in the COJESKI report of October 1999)
[List of 12 names]
Partial conclusion for this period:
Deaths: 10 + 10 + (12 - 6 on two lists) = 26.
The damage resulting from the clashes between the UPDF and the APR from 7 to
17 August 1999
Damage reported by the Groupe Justice et Libération in “La guerre des alliés en R.D.C. et
le droit à l’autodétermination du peuple congolais”, 31 August 1999, para. 9, and the Lotus Group
in The Consequences of Rivalries within the Rebel Alliances and Factions in North-Eastern Congo.

Partial conclusion for this period:
Deaths: 35 listed, but the Lotus Group notes that 650 soldiers and around 100 civilians were
killed.
The damage resulting from the clashes between the UPDF and the APR of May 2000
The list below is taken from the Lotus Group report Conflict between Uganda and Rwanda

Ann. 4.10d.
[Appendix 1A, “Deaths in the battle of 5 May 2000” follows]
Partial conclusion for this period:
Deaths: around 30 recorded.
The damage resulting from the clashes between the UPDF and the APR of June 2000 (the
six-day war)
The list below is taken from the Lotus Group report Rapport sur la guerre de six jours à
Kisangani.
[List follows]
See also Groupe Justice et Libération, “La guerre des Alliés à Kisangani (du 5 mai au
10 juin 2000) et le droit à la paix”, Appendix 1B, “Deaths in the battle from 5 to 10 June 2000,
provisional list”; Ann. 4.10d.
[Appendix 1B, “Deaths in the battle from 5 to 10 June 2000, provisional list” follows]
Partial conclusion for this period:
Deaths: 229 recorded on the battlefield.
As well as the NGOs’ surveys of deaths on the battlefield, it is possible to rely on the
assessments of international organizations: MONUC: 150 civilian deaths; the Special Rapporteur
on the situation of human rights in the DRC, Roberto Garretón: 1,000 Congolese died; the
inter-agency assessment mission: between 760 and 1,000 civilians were killed. It will be assumed
that 760 people were killed.
If the injuries suffered over the course of those two dreadful years are added together, the
following approximate total is reached for the whole of the period from 1998 to 2000:
Loss of human life: 26 + 100 + 30 + 760 + 4 = 920.
As well as the totals given above, two non-exhaustive lists are available, which can help to
calculate the number of deaths as accurately as possible:
1. The list drawn up in 2008 entitled “Identification of victims and assessment of damage:
persons killed” identifies a total of 922 persons who were killed. Where the records indicate a
date of death it is the year 2000. Of the 922 names, 611 are recorded as having died
- 3 -
during 2000. 311 records do not include a date. No records give the date of death as 1998
or 1999. (See Ann. 4.5a.)
2. According to the “List of the victims of the various Kisangani wars (14-17 August 1999,
5 May 2000 and 5-10 June 2000)”, the total number of people killed during this period
was 701. (See Ann. 4.6.)
This does not call into question the figure of 920. That figure will therefore be used as a basis for
the DRC’s reparation claim for this category of damage in the present proceedings.

Partial conclusion for this period:
The two lists are added together, except for four persons who appear on both lists, giving a
total of 1 + 26 + (14 - 4) = 37 injured.

Partial conclusion for this period:
Although the local NGOs identified 11 soldiers and 22 civilians who were injured and
5 cases of rape, it is nevertheless possible to rely on the figure of 100, which is put forward in the
Group Justice et Libération and Lotus Group reports, and even in the Mapping Report.
The damage resulting from the clashes between the UPDF and the APR of May 2000
The list below is taken from the Lotus Group report Conflict between Uganda and Rwanda
in Kisangani, Ann. 4.19.
[List follows]
See also Groupe Justice et Libération, “La guerre des Alliés à Kisangani (du 5 mai au
10 juin 2000) et le droit à la paix”, Appendix 1C, “Persons injured in the battle of 5 May 2000”;
Ann. 4.10d.
[Appendix 1C, “Persons injured in the battle of 5 May 2000” follows]
Partial conclusion for this period:
80 people were injured according to the Lotus Group report and 32 according to the report of
the Groupe Justice et Libération. Given that some duplication is likely, the number of victims can
be assumed to be at least 100.
The damage resulting from the clashes between the UPDF and the APR of June 2000 (the
six-day war)
The list below is taken from the Lotus Group report Rapport sur la guerre de six jours à
Kisangani.
As well as estimating that a total of 1,065 people were wounded, the group gives the
following names:
[List follows]
See also Groupe Justice et Libération, “La guerre des Alliés à Kisangani (du 5 mai au
10 juin 2000) et le droit à la paix”, Appendix 1D: “Given that such a large number of people were
injured (over 3,000), we refrain from listing them by name”.
Partial conclusion for this period:
The few names of the injured which are reported by the Lotus Group are purely illustrative.
The Third report of the Secretary-General on MONUC mentions “more than 1,000 casualties”;
according to the Special Rapporteur, Roberto Garretón, there were “thousands [of] wounded”;
according to the United Nations inter-agency mission, there were “an estimated 1,700 wounded”;
the Lotus Group put the figure at 1,065; in the words of the Groupe Justice et Libération, “[g]iven
that such a large number of people were injured (over 3,000), we refrain from listing them by
name”. The DRC will assume that 1,700 persons were injured during this period.
- 7 -
Overall conclusion for all the periods
37 + 100 + 100 + 1,700 = a minimum of 1,937 injured.
The Government’s list from 2008, which comprises 527 names, including 13 cases of rape
and five of torture (see Ann. 4.5b) and the list of the victims of the three wars between 1999
and 2000, which contains 493 names (see Ann. 4.6), which were established a considerable time
after the events, probably only include the most serious casualties, who were still suffering the
after-effects of their injuries. The digitized lists (Ann. 4.7) and the individual records in the
summary tables (Ann. 4.8) serve purely as examples of the forms used to claim particular amounts
of compensation.
The figure of 1,937 will therefore be used as a basis for the DRC’s reparation claim for this
category of damage in the present proceedings.

Damage to property in Kisangani

I. Property of natural persons
A. Natural persons whose property was looted
1. Examples of acts of looting
[List follows]
2. Assessment of the damage caused by acts of looting
The around 25 examples of looting described above are similar to the more numerous acts of
mass looting, which took place when residents had to take refuge outside the city and returned to
find that their property had vanished. In the absence of quantified claims from those concerned,
they will be allocated similar sums to those designated for similar cases in the property assessment
report.
B. Property of natural persons which was destroyed by acts of war
1. Examples of acts of destruction
[List follows]
2. Assessment of the damage caused when property was destroyed by acts of war
The above list comprises not only individual buildings, but also rows of houses along certain
streets or avenues.
According to the report of the inter-agency assessment mission, which was dispatched to
Kisangani pursuant to Security Council resolution 1304 (2000), paragraph 14, during the war of
5-11 June 2000 alone, the damage to housing was as follows:
Table 1
Damage to housing during the war of 5-11 June 2000
Commune
Scale of damage
Destroyed Heavy damage Light damage Total
Lubunga 34 11 24 69
Kisangani 2 0 0 2

Tshopo 292 618 1,689 2,599
Total 418 1,371 2,294 4,083
The damage caused to private individuals falls into various categories:
- 10 -
(a) The first is housing which was either destroyed or damaged by the fighting. The following
figures have been noted for each confrontation: 100 in August 1999, 100 in May 2000 and
4,083 in June 2000 which, rounded up, gives a total of 4,300 dwellings. That is the figure
which will be used by the DRC as a basis for its reparation claim for this category of damage in
the present proceedings.
(b) Next is the property of private individuals which was either looted or destroyed along with their
homes. The number of such incidents is likely to be comparable. The figures identified in the
subsequent inquiries or obtained by analysing the victims’ forms are as follows for partial
periods of the respective confrontations: 1,827, 1,352 and 2,698.
II. Property of private legal entities
Damage incurred by private companies
[List follows]
Claims made by private companies

Conclusion for the losses of all categories of private persons
A figure of 3,000 victims of loss of property, including private companies, therefore seems
reasonable. That is the figure which will be used by the DRC as a basis for its reparation claim for
this category of damage in the present proceedings.

III. Medical facilities
Damage caused to medical facilities
(a) From the end of August 1998 to July 1999
Source: Lotus Group, Report of the Kisangani Lotus Group, 15 Oct. 1998; Ann. 4.15.
 Rebel soldiers with instructions to guard the military air-base at Simi-Simi overran the area
surrounding these two hospitals. There was looting of the hospitals, humanitarian agencies,
and stores of foodstuffs and other urgently needed items, and certain medical workers were
physically assaulted or threatened.
 On 26 August 1998, Professor Wami Wifonga, the doctor in charge of the university clinic and
a teacher at the faculty of medicine was accosted in his office by three Tutsi and two Ugandan
rebels. They demanded money and medicines. By threatening him they succeeded in making
off with a sum of US$200 and a large stock of medicine.
 On 19 September 1998, the faculty of medicine’s research laboratory and the university clinic’s
biochemical unit were systematically looted. The following items were taken away:
 four photospectrometers;
 six electronic microscopes;
 a large number of chemical reagents;
- 18 -
 other extremely valuable items of equipment.
 At Kisangani general hospital:
 wards were occupied by the rebels;
 furniture was broken up and used as firewood;
 a telegraph device belonging to the Kisangani branch of the Extended Vaccination
Programme (PEV) was seized; the unit’s activities were halted.
