Goma, 3 July 2009
What is left from the recent deal between Kigali and Kinshasa when the
Congolese media, echoing their promoters, are freely talking about their new
ally in the fight against the FDLR with so little consideration?
Indeed, digitalcongo.net the Presidential Majority’s media, in its issue of
Wednesday 1 July 2009 entitled “FOCUS. Kigali:
the hydra of insecurity in Eastern DRC”
http://www.digitalcongo.net/article/59240, is more revealing in this regard.
One can then have an idea of Kinshasa’s deep
thoughts on the security operations in the Kivu provinces currently under way
and that were partially supported by Rwanda through the agreements
signed in Goma.
Government and UN Peacekeepers Fail to Address Human Rights Catastrophe (by
Human Rights Watch, July 2, 2009)
United Nations-backed Congolese armed forces conducting intensified
military operations in eastern and northern Democratic Republic of Congo have
failed to protect civilians from brutal rebel retaliatory attacks and instead
are themselves attacking and raping Congolese civilians, Human Rights Watch
said today. The attacks on civilians from all sides have resulted in a
significant increase in human rights violations over the past six months.
In his address to the nation on Tuesday 30 June 2009 on the occasion of the
49th anniversary of the DRC’s sovereignty, the Head of the State blaimed the
Congolese judicial system and accused the judges of serious charges of
embezzlement, extortion, corruption and violations of the law in the exercise
of their functions.
In a shy and somewhat convincing speech not covered by
the whole national media, but the local chain of RTNC-Goma, the Head of State,
Joseph Kabila, surprised people on Monday 29 June evening. Less complacent and
less talkative, unlike his habits, he has compiled a mixed record of its own management.
37 people killed and twenty others wounded is the provisional report on the
attack by fighters FDLR / Interahamwe early Tuesday morning in the village of
KASEGHE by Lubero territory, located about 235 kilometers north of Goma town.
Goma, 28 June 2009
When in 2003, following the overall political agreement signed in Africa to end
conflict between the Congolese national army, the MLC forces of and those of
the RCD, the International community, through Congo’s
partner countries such as France
and Belgium
began to train the Congolese military. This rose hope of the rehabilitation of
a republican army for the service of the people.
High intensity rattle of automatic weapons was heard the night of Sunday to
Monday around midnight in the town of Goma
as if there was an armed attack against the town. Drawing lessons from the
years of war experienced in that part of the country, people of Goma have kept
their calm preferring to monitor the situation from their homes.
Arrested on 22 January 2009 in the town of Gisenyi, in Rwanda, General Laurent
Nkunda MIHIGO has been detained for 5 months or 150 days on an illegal basis
because just extra judicial. He has never been regularly accused by a Rwandan court.
The real reasons for his arrest followed by the extended detention is a mystery
that only the perpetrators of the act can elucidate. General Laurent Nkunda has
never been presented before a judge and his place of detention remains unknown.
Dear users,
Upon reading this article that came out last
week in English first, then just passed on to the web this morning, this time
translated into french, you realize how much the Chairman Laurent Nkunda
continues to be referred to despite his unjust incarceration on the Rwanda
territory. So we can never make a VOICE OF TRUTH. Above all, the will of the
Congolese people to recover their sovereignty and freely enjoy its resources.
The struggle of our heroes continues through the work of the CNDP under the
leadership of its founder, Laurent Nkunda MIHIGO. The author of the article
seems to praise the Chinese and has forgotten that the partners of the Congo
have invested heavily to ensure that the end of the war is possible so that
investments are possible. Laurent Nkunda MIHIGO, in claiming the revisitation
of the Chinese contracts did spoke out what all Congolese people thought and
felt; did not parliamentarians agree with the valiant freedom fighter?
So to say that
weapons purchased under these contracts are those killing the Congolese people in
Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The CNDP chairman had denounced the
collaboration of the Kinshasa government which provided arms and ammunition
from China to the Rwandan FDLR. However, neither national nor international
community had listen to the General. Today these weapons are acquired in the
trade of weapons against minerals which are still killing the Congolese people.
This denunciation of Kabila government’s crimes led to the unfair arrest of
Major General NKUNDA MIHIGO.

Auntie Colette
reviews the situation, but as always she criminalizes CNDP military who since
January have joined the national army. While everyone sees the problem at the leadership
level where the Congolese state is plagued by a structural corruption, she
tends to protect Josep KABILA, the only responsible of crimes committed by the
FDLR on the Congolese people. Indeed, he provides arms and ammunition and some
believe that the alliance between KABILA and Murwanashyaka still exists.
Everyone has decried the process of integration of Goma and the CNDP has always
requested that the Nairobi peace talks resume at the very point they were
stopped. While Kabila continues to play theater with the KAMANZI band, civilians
in the Kivu are counting their dead and raped people.
