Violence continues
as U.N. seeks solution
1 ALGIERS, Algeria — An armed
group attacked an isolated
house and then struck a military
outpost, killing at least 13 people,
Algerian newspapers reported
Wednesday.
In a separate incident, two
members of an Islamic group
were killed Tuesday by security
forces in a suburb of the capital,
Algerian media reported.
The violence came as a U.N.
mission began the second week of
its inquiry into violence in Alge
ria that has left some 75,000 peo
ple dead in the last six years.
The attacks occurred in an area
where the Armed Islamic Group,
which has been linked to the
slaughter of hundreds of people
in recent months, is known to be
active.
The six-member U.N. panel is
looking into violence that began
in 1992 after the government can
celed parliamentary elections an
Islamic party was set to win.
The delegation arrived July 22
for a two-week visit.
Equal-pay ruling wins
redress for workers
2 TORONTO — In a landmark
decision, a human rights tri
bunal ruled Wednesday that pub
lic servants in female-dominated
job categories deserve compensa
tion for years of unequal pay.
The Canadian Human Rights
Tribunal’s decision was a turning
point in a 14-year legal battle in
volving more than 200,000 pre
sent and former federal civil ser
vants, most of them women.
The complainants initiated le
gal action in 1984 arguing that
various female-dominated occu
pations in the civil service, rang
ing from hospital workers to sec
retaries, were paid less than
comparable job categories domi
nated by men.
The tribunal upheld the com
plaint Wednesday, and said the
affected public servants should be
eligible for retroactive payment,
plus interest, dating to March
1985.
Individual complainants are
expecting to receive payments in
the range of $10,000 to $20,000.
Countries disagree
about recall of troops
3 KIGALI, Rwanda — Rwanda
denied it was ordered to pull
its troops out of Congo, saying on
Wednesday that the recall was
voluntary.
Maj. Emmanuel Ndahiro said
Rwanda chose to recall more than
100 officers and soldiers so the
people of Congo could begin to
“sort out their own problems.”
But Congolese President Lau
rent Kabila said the troops were
told to leave to "create orderly rela
tions” between the two countries.
Kabila warned his own officers in
an address Tuesday not to let the
withdrawal cause problems.
The Rwandan soldiers helped
Kabila overthrow longtime dicta
tor Mobutu Sese Seko in May 1997
and stayed on to help maintain or
der. Kabila renamed the country,
which Mobutu called Zaire.
Ndahiro said he hoped the Con
golese and Rwandan armies
would continue to cooperate in
maintaining and upgrading secu
rity along their long and volatile
common border.

New policy on tribes
affects tuition rate
The Oregon University System
has approved a plan to grant resi
dent tuition to enrolled members
of Oregon tribes, regardless of
whether they reside in-state.
In addition, members of tribes
in California, Idaho, Nevada and
Oklahoma whose traditional
tribal boundries once included
areas in Oregon are eligible for
in-state tuition.
Officials say the new policy is
important symbolically because
it recognizes the historic ties
tribal members have to Oregon
land and upholds theconcept of
tribal sovereignty.
The University already im
plemented its own version of
the new OUS policy in 1997.
