US embassy cable - 05KINSHASA768

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1.(C) Post has sought to verify the information in reftel A 
with UNHCR regarding disappearances and poisoning as noted by 
ROC refugees in Gabon. There does not seem to be any evidence 
to support this. UNHCR has been following the issue of the 
ROC refugees in Gabon very closely, as has Post, and we are 
both of the view that the security environment is enabling 
for the ROC refugees to return, and that the stories that are 
being spread have more to do with the desire to find other 
places to be moved to for economic reasons, not security 
reasons or threats.   Post will continue to monitor and 
engage with UNHCR on the issue of Congo/B refugees in Gabon.
