Et voici ce que disent les vautours les plus influents, ceux qui préfèrent aider Kabila en organisant un chantage massif contre le Rwanda. Les recommendations qu'ils font en disent long sur le centre de leur intérêt. Et il ne s'agit pas du peuple congolais vous pouvez en être sûr. Ce monde gouverné par les ONG perd son Nord!
Rwanda's long shadow: U.S.-Rwandan relations and a path forward in Eastern Congo
Evidence
continues to mount that the government of Rwanda has been harboring,
supporting, and arming war criminals and mutineers, including Bosco
Ntaganda, in neighboring eastern Congo. Former rebels from the
Rwanda-linked National Congress for the Defense of the People, or CNDP,
and an affiliated offshoot group called the M23 movement are currently
in open rebellion against the government in Kinshasa and fighting the
Congolese national army, or FARDC. Further, recent documents leaked by
the United Nations Mission to Congo, or MONUSCO, as well as several
interviews conducted by Human Rights Watch and corroborated by the
Enough Project field team are pointing to the government of Rwanda
forcibly recruiting men and boys into the Rwandan army, or RDF, sending
them to fight as rebels for M23 in eastern Congo, and summarily
executing them if they prove too weak or try to escape.
Additionally,
as part of its annual reporting process, the U.N. Group of Experts on
Congo conducted an investigation into the allegations of Rwandan support
to the M23 rebellion in Congo. In the process of briefing U.N. Security
Council member states as part of the group's interim report process,
the results of this investigation were shared. Several U.N. diplomats as
well as NGOs have confirmed that the investigation uncovered evidence
of direct Rwandan involvement in the rebellion. Several sources also
indicated that this group is best suited to continue investigation into
the matter through the remainder of this year.
To what extent is
the Rwandan government supporting and fomenting rebellion and conflict
in eastern Congo? Is this being done with the support or tacit
understanding of the Kagame regime in Kigali? Or has President Kagame
lost control of his state security apparatus? What interests does Rwanda
have in Congo that keep Kigali so deeply engaged? What knowledge do the
U.S. government and partners have of Rwandan involvement in
exacerbating conflict in eastern Congo, and what is the nature of their
continued military and economic support to Rwanda? The recurring human
rights and humanitarian nightmare in eastern Congo demands that these
questions be addressed - and as a precondition for support to any
further U.S. initiatives in the region, these questions can no longer be
dismissed or discussed with equivocation. They must be answered
publicly and concretely by U.S. policymakers.
Failure to address
the looming question of Rwandan involvement in eastern Congo necessarily
prevents any durable or sustainable solutions from taking shape in the
most critical sectors needed for peace in Congo. Additionally, if these
continued allegations are conclusively proven true, it means that beyond
the brazen breach of Congolese national sovereignty, Rwanda is also in
violation of several international laws and agreements, including a U.N.
arms embargo on Congo, the crime of aggression through fomenting
conflict in a neighboring country, pillaging of natural resources, and
the forced recruitment of child soldiers.
Given the implications
of Rwandan involvement in the conflict, the international community
should immediately take steps to respond to these allegations. If
necessary, they must also reassess the nature of their policies and
relationships with Rwanda to ensure that, by extension, they are not
willingly complicit in supporting these violations of international law.
As documented below there is substantial available evidence linking
destabilizing elements in eastern Congo to the government of Rwanda.
Those donor governments that continue to provide support to the
government of Rwanda must hold Kigali to account for its involvement in
destabilizing activities in Congo. At this point, a strategy of
diplomatic see-no-evil, hear-no-evil is irresponsible, hypocritical, and
ultimately destructive.
To that end, the government of the United States should immediately take the following steps:
1.
Ensure that the recent investigation conducted by the U.N. Group of
Experts on Congo is published and leveraged as a step toward ending
external intervention in eastern Congo. Further, push the Security
Council to provide additional resources for the Group to continue the
investigation in the lead-up to the release of the 2012 annual report.
2.
Based on the accumulated evidence, begin a formal policy review with a
specific focus on the overall U.S. military and developmental aid
policy. Send a clear signal that intervention in eastern Congo is not
acceptable. Base such action on Section 105 of the Democratic Republic
of Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act of 2006, which
includes provisions for eliminating aid to countries if the Secretary of
State "determines that the government of a foreign country is taking
actions to destabilize the Democratic Republic of the Congo."
3.
Partner with the government of Congo and the United Nations to develop a
more aggressive strategy to dismantle the Rwandan Hutu militia, the
FDLR, thus removing Rwanda's main stated reason for its continued
interest in eastern Congo.
