afrol News, 31 January - Frédéric Bitsangou, an ex-ninja rebel leader has now opted for democratic means to participate in the development of Congo Brazzaville after he had registered his own political. The party's name is called the National Republicans Council, an offspring of Mr Bitsangou's Self-defence Resistance Forces.

Nick-named Ntumi, the ex-ninja leader's newly coined party is expected to participate in the country's legislations polls scheduled for mid this year. He is set to pose as a candidate of his party in the Pool region, a place he hailed from.

The five-year rebellion caused massive destruction to lives and infrastructure in southern Pool region of Congo. But the area regained peace and stability after Mr Bitsangou signed a peace accord with the government in 2003. Also, there was a successful disarmament programme for ex-combatants in the region.

"The reduction of violence since the peace accord consented an improvement in freedom of movement in Pool, but there are still significant lacks in terms of services, structures and health equipment, as well as qualified medical personnel that fear going to a region that is still not disarmed," Judy Mc Connery, representative of MSF (Doctors Without Borders) in the Republic of Congo, told the Italian news agency, 'Misna'.
