• Friend and Fate Help Refugee Bring His Wife and Son to City

[Jim Busby] is flying to South Africa via London on British Airways, which honours Air Canada's employee passes. But British Airways doesn't honour the companion passes. Only one airline honours the Air Canada companion passes, Lufthansa, but its only flight into South Africa is to Johannesburg. So, Tania and her children will make their way from Pretoria to Johannesburg to meet Busby. [DAVID Mazambi] and his brother fled war-torn Congo in 1997 and by 1999 had found refugee status in Mozambique, where Mazambi met his future wife, Tania. Mazambi and his brother came to Canada as refugees in 2002 and began the arduous immigration process of bringing Tania and her daughter Elza, now eight, to Winnipeg.

• Un Peacekeepers Traded Arms for Gold: Rights Groups

A new scandal rocked the biggest United Nations peacekeeping force in the world Wednesday as allegations surfaced that Pakistani "blue helmets" in the Democratic Republic of Congo had traded weapons for gold with rebel groups they were supposed to be disarming. Human rights groups in the sprawling central African nation say Pakistani officers serving in the 17,600-strong force were involved in the illegal smuggling of up to US$5 million in gold from the trouble-plagued northeastern Ituri region. They add the shady dealing saw weapons returned to rebels of the Front of Nationalists and Integrationalists (FNI), said by the Congolese government to be responsible for war crimes during Congo's long-running conflict.

• Canadian Peacekeeping: Proud Tradition, Strong Future?

Peacekeeping has a place of pride in the Canadian national identity. Canadians feel that their nation is a natural leader in this international endeavour. How is this national identity expressed, and howhas it come about? Is it justified? An answer to these questions requires a probe of Canadian public and military attitudes, a historical review of Canada's peacekeeping activities, and an examination of current Canadian contributions. The final question is: What is needed if Canada is to live up to the image of the proud and prolific peacekeeper?
