THE UN ETERNAL FAILURE IN THE DRC

For international media, all working for the French agenda in the African Great Lakes region, rebels' defeats sell more than the Congolese government victories, always. That is why you saw AP triumphantly announcing the alleged surrender of General Makenga yesterday. Of course, all journalists jumped unto such juicy news and repeated all the same line. what is puzzling is that the Government of Uganda has not made any declaration. i am not going to speculate about their reasons for not doing so. What I'd like to say is that those journalists are usually too quick to be objective. Besides, they will not dare to tell you that Makenga's men are still is the DRC with their armament , that would not sell and Ladsous guys cannot allow any media to say that. It would be an acknowledgement of yet another UN failure in the DRC. On the other hand, Ladsous' hench-men-journalists-and-otherwise roles are determined to show that the CIRGL has no diplomatic clout and that it is always the French agenda that prevails in the International Community circles. You can see that in the Pretoria declaration. One can ask: why is it that the other so called western powers, i.e. USA and UK who call themselves the most advanced democracies, hide behind the UN and let France' schemes to destabilize the region take over any common sense? That's a mystery that we might not unravel while the shifting sands of a new scramble for Africa are in full motion as we can see this week.

The UN is failing no matter what appearances are at the moment. Just check out anyone from New York to Kinshasa, and even Paris and see whether there any celebration for victory. There aren't because there wasn't a true victory. Which means that our struggle for freedom is on, no doubt about that. Because of this absence of true victory, which in itself puts Makenga in a new position for struggle, we could expect that the International Community would move the pressure unto Kabila to sign the agreement tomorrow. Let me warn you, that pressure will not happen, the UN is now going to focus on how to help get Kabila a new mandate. Watch out for the signs, if you want, by observing the formation of his upcoming government. He and his friends are hoping his new government will achieve what the concertations nationales have not achieved. Observe the role the international community will have in this matter, and you'll understand why they are so keen to weaken the CIGLR: it's all about their Kinshasa ally in looting the country, while silencing the only people who dare to challenge both Kabila's corrupt governance, and the UN gangsterism. They might think they have finished with M23, but as long as Kivu is not free, there always be CNDP, M23, etc... 

Another sign you should be observing is the FDLR movement in the forest along the DRC boarder with Rwanda. That should tell you where Kobler stands in this matter. I believe I have already said that you should not expect him to fight any other armed groups. A number of them are a creation of Kabila or of FDLR themselves. And the latter are close collaborators of Kobler's forces, darlings of general da Cruz??? What the FDLR movement along the Rwandan boarder is likely to tell you also is that the SADC has embrassed the Fench agenda in the region and they are out to help France finish its 1994 genocide agenda. It is so easy then to pretend there are no Congolese Tutsis to prevent this sinister plan to be carried out. I was positively surprised to see congoindependant.com publish an old interview with Laurent Nkunda, please re-read it. Anyway, the UN has always failed in DRC, it will fail again this time. It's just a matter of time. And it will be defeated by a regional "know-how", which must make room for those who have defended this cause and will continue doing so.

KINSHASA WILL NEVER SIGN AN AGREEMENT ON THE KIVU

We know that already. The Vuvuzela Mende can only confirm that to us with what he's just said. Abusing both M23 and the facilitator, he is saying that there is no point for Kinshasa to sign anything with a rebellion that ceased hostilities by itself. What a surprise, Mr. Mende! The reason why Kabila is more stubborn than ever before is a compound of a number of things. I will try to summarize them.

1) Ceasing hostilities responds not to Kabila wishes, but to the International community which worked on a peace agreement in Uganda subjecting its signature to a prior condition: that M23 stops the rebellion. That has been achieved by M23 withdrawal. What was supposed to follow, was the Kinshasa government to comply with its own part in the already drawn agreement. That part includes specific things of which we only got some few hints from the media, e.g. return of refugees, the eradication of FDLR, and who knows, the declaration of Kivu as a disaster zone, etc... With Mende's declaration, you can see that none of this is going to happen. The question is that, since we all knew this is Kinshasa's position, why did the International community push so hard for M23 to comply and now they cannot do the same with Kinshasa? The answer is that they stand with Kinshasa, no matter what. Which leads us to the second point.

2) Why is the International community on the side of Kinshasa and is not putting any pressure kabila to comply with the fabricated agreement? Several options here. For one, if you have observed the SADC move in this whole mess, you can see that the International Community is backing Kikwete and Zuma to champion the FDLR agenda in the region, and behind FDLR, you could also place ADF-NALU. It is no secret that Kikwete has vowed to bring FDLR to Rwanda and force the regime to negotiate with them. Which he has done with the full backing of the International community via Kobler's MONUSCO and FIB. Under this umbrella, FDLR are at the door of Rwanda. UN forces have done more than bringing them this close. The recent bombings were not threatening just the country of origin of FDLR, but also Uganda. This is how Tanzania and South-Africa are working hard to replace Leopold II and take the DRC for their own property, which they will certainly share with the Western powers according to the representation we see of them around the so called Kampala talks. It's still about the scramble for Africa but using Africans themselves. We can only guess that Kikwete is doing this to build some clout badly needed to win the next elections in his country. It's about money and I am sure he is paid handsomely for his work in the Kivu on behalf of bigger predators. But does the money he receives a sufficient reason for him to support a move that can set fire on the region? Is he the one who will bring a mess similar to the so-called Arab spring in these mountains? I think the Nkrumah of this continent cannot believe what has happened to their hopes of a free Africa.Talking about elections bring us to the next point. 

3) Kabila's re-election in 2016. If he was to loose in the Kivu, then he could kiss bye bye his re-election. He thought the national consultations would hand him a re-election. It doesn't look like that just now. He needs badly a victory over M23. And his sponsors who keep him in power needed it even more that himself. That is how we got the United Nations fighting wars instead of keeping peace. What a pity we can't accuse the UN of crimes against humanity!!!! We didn't do it in 1994 with the sinister operation Turquoise, and they are hoping no one will accuse the UN of working with FDLR because Human Right Watch is on their side in this. Besides, Kabila hopes that the UN is there, not only to defeat M23 for him and entrench FDLR in his army, he also hopes that this same UN (Tanzanian and South-African forces) with the help of experienced FDLR in all matters related to Dongolese elections, will hand him the votes from Kivu once again. So don't be surprised if FIB considers its job finished after M23 and starts working for Kabila's re-election. If you think they are going to fight any other armed group, you are plain wrong. The hope for a free DRC is still very far. And it's not the fault of M23: it's the International Community's and Kabila's. As for M23, as I said yesterday, the battle is not over, it is being transformed and the way of fighting it will just adapt, after all human beings are rational beings.

A VAINCRE SANS PERIL, ON TRIOMPHE SANS GLOIRE

Une question d'honneur dans la pensée du classique Corneille, quoi que l'origine se trouve sans doute chez le stoique Sénèque:

"Toute victoire sans combat, sans engagement personnel, sans prise de risques ne saurait être une victoire. Il n'y a de place ni pour l'honneur ni pour la dignité. Cette pensée de Corneille prend dès lors tout son sens." "La victoire n'a d'intérêt que si l'on donne de sa personne, au-delà même de ses propres convictions, pour l'obtenir." « Le gladiateur tient à déshonneur d’avoir en face un trop faible adversaire ; il sait qu’on triomphe sans gloire quand on a vaincu sans péril. » "Quand on triomphe d'une personne ou d'une situation sans avoir rencontré de résistance ou de difficulté, la victoire est dénuée de mérite". L'écrivain colombien Garcia Marquez dirait "j'ai appris de vous les hommes que tout le monde veut vivre au sommet de la montagne sans savoir que le véritable bonheur est dans la manière d'escalader l'escarpe"la falaise". Donc la difficulté renforce le mérite et c'est bien dit dans ce proverbe." En perse cela se dit comme : "Apporté par le vent, se perd en vent". Tout ceci n'est donc que partie remise. La bataille ne s'arrête pas, elle se transforme jusqu'à une vraie victoire.

THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY'S FIXATION WITH M23

It is so tempting to title this article "le Sanguinaire Kobler". I didn't do it because when he was appointed to this mission, I said it made me shudder to have him in the area and then I started receiving threatening e-mails saying I was a racist etc. Now the evolution of things confirms my fears. I even wish I was wrong in my intuition. The point is this: the famous UN res. 2098 mandated the FIB to fight negative forces in the DRC. Kobler has made his own translation of this into "working with the most negative of those forces FIB was supposed to fight, i.e. genocidaires FDLR" to finish M23. However, if it was his own translation, it would be fine. It was, all along, the International Community's intention. Use the resolution as a pretext, not only to wipe out M23 but, in the same process, open the highway for FDLR to go do what they have been preparing to do all these years: finish what they did not finish in 1994 in their own country. 

That is why the sound heard yesterday afternoon and the whole night was the South-African airstrikes on Mbuzi. I do not have the morning situation, but I would not be surprised to know the whole of Bunagana was included in the bombing, confirming the Uganda fears that prompted the president to order the deployment of tanks along the Uganda-DRC boarder (http://chimpreports.com/index.php/special-reports/13946-museveni-orders-deployment-of-tanks-at-drc-border.html). It also confirms what media close to Kinshasa government published yesterday, for instance the repeated confirmation that MONUSCO has received the green light to finish off M23. Note that it is MONUSCO, not FARDC. Obviously, Kobler and his MONUSCO have no plans to fight FDLR, sorry to repeat the verb so many time, which confirms that this war is against not just M23, but against a possible stability in the region. I don't see how independent and sovereign states who are members of the UN can watch the latter spearhead the movement meant to bring back a genocide rule. And someone dared to frown upon me when I openly expressed a clear uneasiness at having Kobler head MONUSCO?

At the moment when I am writing down these few lines, it is believed that 1000 FDLR are in the Virunga National Park with at least 5 of their high commandants, what for? No doubt about the reason why the UN is covering them once again. Once Kobler clears the M23 for them, we shall certainly know why the International Community, Kabila, Kikwete and Zuma have come to this side of the world. It is not just another genocide looming for the interest of France in the Great Lakes Region, it is a somalization of the area from DRC to the boarder of Tanzania, followed by a yougoslavisation. We shall talk about this, at least to keep record for history's sake.

If the Pretoria summit is about peace in the DRC and the UN is claiming to have wiped out the rebels last night, why are heads of states requesting M23 to declare its own demisse??? Read what is coming from Pretoria here: http://mobi.enca.com/africa/leaders-call-drc-peace-pretoria-summit. This is how you know that war UN is waging on M23 is not really about M23 but about big boys, e.g. Zuma himself interests in the Great Lakes region on the one hand; on the other, the violence of UN forces against M23 and the lack of mention of FDLR in Pretoria tells you, all this is a cover for FDLR. Otherwise tell me why all these men had to go to Pretoria only to tell M23 to declare itself defunct? Something rotten is brewing underneath... Bisimwa had already declared the end of hostilities. I am sure in a few minutes or hours he will follow the orders coming from Pretoria. And in exchange?

KID GAMES IN KAMPALA

I attended the graduation of standard 8 boys somewhere in central Kenya yesterday invited by my student who is the principal of the school, then today I went on a few hours hike, yes I do hike whenever I can. I miss the heights of Masisi and have to do with what I have at hand to keep fit! Because of these two things, you might have heard long before me of the latest kid games in Kampala. Or at least its echos. I hear the Bisimwa has ordered Makenga to stop hostilities immediately. You just wonder, what is going on in Kampala? Kid's games? How can anyone, and Bisimwa of all people, ask Makenga to stop hostilities? 

I pity today's high school kids who don't study classical thought and classical literature. they are doing plans of study engineered by the market, with its greed and total lack of depth. Those who've done classical thought, as well as those who had the privilege of listening to men of my late father's generation, can spot the absence of logical thinking in this so called negotiations in Kampala. If you ever had to translate Cicero or read Plato you know what I mean. Hence, you can see the absurdity of asking Makenga to cease hostilities. He never started them. Whoever claims to fight for peace does not start hostilities. Makenga, and Nkunda a few years ago, have shown repeatedly to which extent they are more interested in peace than war. In the last couple of weeks, Makenga has proven that to an extent many people, including Kinshasa and all its allies of the international community, are unable to comprehend. He has deliberately withdrawn his troupes from positions he held after defeating FARDC in the manner we all saw. The greedy Kinshasa and its allies read in that move weakness, and loudly praised the new found capacity to win for Kabila's army aided by Tanzanians, South-Africans and the genocidaires Interahamwe.

With the conviction of that weakness, I can see them putting pressure on Bisimwa to "order" the rebel army to end hostilities. The whole thing could have been set just to allow Kinshasa to issue a new deadline for the rebels to surrender exactly on Saturday 9th November. Tshibanda will come to Kampala to receive "a total capitulation". I have no clue about the mood in Chanzu this moment. What I can guess for sure is that, as long as FARDC and allies attack over there, the guys in Chanzu will not be sitting and watching, and much less act to please Tshibanda or his IC. Can Bisimwa ask them to stop defending themselves? No one has that right.

However, there could be another reading to the 9th November date. This new summit of Great Lakes States meeting in Pretoria needs preparation. We know Kampala was and is still a joke. It serves only to allow the looters of the DRC resources to use the historical conflict going on as a pretext to impose their own agenda, under the disguise of finding solutions. Make no mistake, Pretoria will be no different. These guys will go there to protect their own interests of which Kabila is the "guardian". But I'd dare to say, that the game of the West in this conflict is seeking to dismantle the Great Lakes region following the model of the former Yougoslavia. It was not CNDP and it is not M23 that is interested in balkanising the DRC and then others. It is the Western powers represented in this so called negotiations. CNDP and M23 have been a clear obstacle to achieving this divisionnist agenda. And since M23 is here to stay and they know it, they are going South to engineer a new way of overcoming such an obstacle. Do you remember they way they sung that Nkunda was the problem for the DRC? Anyway, right now, I'd like to look in the eyes of the guy who arrested him and see what I could read there. Was he really the problem? Or was he an obstacle to the greed of so many? If I were Tshibanda and/or his boss, I would not try to set new deadlines for M23 surrender. And you and I know why. If you don't, ask me.

SOME POINTERS AS THINGS UNFOLD

1) In Bunagana: Julien Paluku was supposed to appear today in Bunagana and the population was waiting for him. He never came. This is what happened: he was airlifted by MONUSCO up to Tschengerero, where he made a super brief appearance and huddled back to the helicopter promptly. He understood that FARDC-FDLR-FIB-MONUSCO have been disbanded in Jomba by M23 soldiers. Whatever happened to all the triumphalism he used in Rutshuru, reinstating the maire. The media close to the International community's agenda will not tell you that FARDC coalition units 8005 and 8006  were destroyed in Jomba. So Paluku might have taken my warning yesterday into account, even if minimally, he knows he should not go into Bunagana. And he is already moving around on by choppers, not safe to go by road. I am too sure the choppers are that safe either. And he is not the only one to know that Bunagana isn't a secured position for the government. No media will report on the Jomba destruction of Units 8005 and 8006 because they cannot find a way of blaming that on Rwanda or Uganda and it would mean they must acknowledge what I said yesterday: M23 forces are quite intact.

2) FARDC-FDLR-FIB-MONUSCO coalition in Bunagana: They came, yes. They brought their arsenal to fight what they are calling, to use Jeune Afrique expression "une centaine d'irréductibles retranchés à Chanzu". Ok, only a few hundreds? That's what they pay the media to say. But this coalition knows the moment of walks in the park could shortened. Do you want a proof? They have collected their stock of arms and now are taking them back to Rutshuru. Why? They are afraid, the Jomba episode was quite swift, they know they are not in their "territory" just as yet. The problem is that they are protecting their ammunition, but they have to stick around to give the International community leverage to continue talking about FARDC victories. However, now they are hungry. Remember what FARDC do when they are hungry or simply whenever they can? They loot. That is what the Bunagana population waiting for Paluku had to put up with. Next thing you'll hear about rape, assassinations, etc... And mind you Human rights watch and enough project won't right any reports on that. You can thank me for telling you, haha.

3) Why are the coalition soldiers getting hungry? Because MONUSCO that's been proving food supplies cannot cope with 20,000 soldiers swarming the area from Kibumba to Bunagana. This International  Community is just unbelievable! If you commit to feed Kabila's coalition including génocidaires, then feed them well and daily wherever you have pushed them to go, if not they are a danger for civilians with this looting and extortion. 

4) What is transpiring from Kampala: the International Community ally to Kabila is making sure we are advancing towards war no matter what. The reason is that the only talk going for Kabila is reintegration, may be with some amnesty; and for the International community, the only word is disarmament of M23. Note that they both know that Reintegration and Disarmament are out of question. Kinshasa and IC cannot hide their determination to perpetuate the war since their demands actually means simply that. Did I say my people need patience? I should add more determination than ever. In this era of corrupt deals everywhere, we must dare to stand and not compromise on what we believe in.

FINALLY OUR SPIN DOCTOR ADMITS THERE IS NO RWANDAN SUPPORT FOR M23

Waaaahhhhh, this is the biggest victory M23 has ever scored although unintentionally probably. The big mouth of all vultures in all matters rebel in Eastern DRC has acknowledged there is no Rwandan support for M23. For this once I applaud him, though he spins it immediately to affirm that as one of the reasons why the criminal coalition of FDLR-FARDC-FIB-MONUSCO has swept through the rebels previously held territories. The interesting thing about our cause is that it was born before us and does and will transcend us. And more so when it comes to these guys who became experts of the region dans le sillage de l'agenda sinistre français in the Great Lakes. They think they know everything because their livelyhood and professional identity comes, not from true knowledge, but from the distortion of it as the geo-politics post 1989 want it to be. I am in a hurry to attend a workshop outside the University but I must find time to elaborate more on this post. Hang on, the Kivu dynamics will not deceive us, and we move with the history on the move.

While I find time to put together the latest update, please read this summary. Almost everything is correct except two things:

1) The author fails to state that M23 forces are still intact and that General Makenga is using his time in thorough training. His resistance with the support of his people, wherever we are is the key to the problem at hand.

2) Taking the talks from Kampala to South Africa doesn't mean much. Do you remember how part of this huge mess originated from Sun City? Is that what Kabila is looking for? A Sun City bis? With oil in the Virunga in the plans of Zuma and his family? We can expect much, which only confirms further my point 1. So Makenga like Hannibal will make his the motto I have on my profile: "Aut iam inveniam, aut faciam", meaning "I will either find a way, or make one".

But the author is right about France and the UN getting nervous at the sight of a close and determined collaboration between Nairobi, Kampala and Kigali. Their ally, Tanzania is being increasingly isolated. Time will tell.

Face aux manœuvres de Kinshasa, le M23 change de stratégie…

30/10/2013 Analyses

Appuyée par les forces des Nations Unies et par les FDLR, la nouvelle offensive loyaliste contre le M23 a failli mettre en danger les populations civiles. Pour ne pas porter la responsabilité de dérapages éventuels, le mouvement rebelle s’est replié dans les hauteurs, ce qui a fait crier à sa défaite imminente par Kinshasa et par la Monusco.

Supported by the United Nations forces and the FDLR, the new loyalist offensive against the M23 almost endangered civilians. To take no responsibility for any slippage, the rebel movement retreated in the hills, which provoked yelling at his imminent defeat by Kinshasa and Monusco.

Le M23 est maintenant « quasiment militairement fini », déclarait hier, lundi 28 octobre, en vidéoconférence devant les membres du Conseil de Sécurité, l’allemand Martin Kobler, patron de la Mission de stabilisation des Nations Unies en République démocratique du Congo (Monusco). « Les rebelles du M23 ont quitté volontairement certaines positions », intitule aujourd’hui sa dépêche l’Agence France-Presse (AFP) – dont le ton est visiblement moins péremptoire –, avant de citer le dernier communiqué des “rebelles” qui annonce un retrait effectué pour ne pas être impliqué dans « un bain de sang dans les agglomérations où la population risquait d’être victime d’une violence susceptible d’être évitée ». Le M23 accuse la mission onusienne d’avoir infiltré et armé des civils dans le bourg de Kiwanja, tenu par la rébellion, dans le but de provoquer une riposte de cette dernière pour ensuite l’accuser de massacres contre les populations.

Les vendredi 25, en effet, les combats avaient repris entre les combattants du M23 et la coalition regroupant les forces de Kinshasa (FARDC), les anciens génocidaires hutus des FDLR et la Brigade offensive de la Monusco qui, à 4 heures du matin, avaient attaqué les lignes ennemies sur le front de Kibumba. Au troisième jour des affrontements, lorsque la situation tournait en faveur des troupes de l’Armée révolutionnaire congolaise (ARC, la branche militaire de la rébellion), des incidents se sont produits à Kiwanja, où les civils armés avec d’autres éléments portant les uniformes de la Brigade et des FARDC ont commencé à tirer sur les soldats et les policiers du M23. En même temps, des informations venant des services de renseignement de la rébellion faisaient état de la planification d’une attaque des hélicoptères du contingent sud-africain de la Brigade qui auraient dû investir la cité de Rumangabo. Dans cette cité, située à une cinquantaine de kilomètres à nord de Goma, le camp militaire du M23, une ancienne base des FARDC, n’est pas loin d’un village habité par des populations rwandophones, qui ont déjà fait les frais d’un bombardement de la coalition en juillet dernier.

En considérations de tous ces faits et suite à des concertations avec l’appareil politique du mouvement, le haut commandement militaire du M23 a décide de quitter toutes les plaines tenues par ses propres forces, et de se replier dans les hauteurs montagneuses. Les positions ainsi abandonnées auront vite été occupées par les forces onusiennes et celles de l’armée régulière, manœuvre préalable au lancement d’une vaste opération médiatique. La rébellion serait aux abois et la victoire de Kinshasa question de jours. Alexandre Luba Ntambo, ministre congolais de la Défense, appelle à la reddition les soldats de l’ARC, alors qu’on essaye d’expliquer cette inattendue « débâcle » du M23 par la puissance de feu de la Brigade et l’affaiblissement du prétendu soutien à la rébellion de la part du Rwanda. Ce dernier d’ailleurs, persiste dans la retenue face à plus d’une vingtaine de tirs de roquettes tombées sur son territoire depuis les positions des FARDC.

Un avertissement est cependant lancé du côté rebelle : le repli tactique ne doit pas être interprété comme un signe de faiblesse, mais comme un changement de stratégie. Selon une source proche de la rébellion en Europe,« pendant trop longtemps, le M23 a fait preuve de modération en acceptant de négocier alors que les hommes aux ordres de Ladsous [le patron français du DOMP, en anglais DKPO, Département des Opération de maintien de la Paix des Nations unies, ndr] et de Kobler tiraient sur les troupes de l’ARC ». Il s’agirait maintenant de « tourner la page » de cette stratégie “défensive”, le repli permettant de se mettre dans « une position, plus “offensive” ». « Toutes les neuf Brigades du M23 sont dans les hauteurs, avec leurs forces intactes au niveau des hommes et du matériel. »

Il est évident que l’hypothèse d’un affaiblissement, voire d’une déliquescence progressive de la rébellion est à prendre avec une réserve extrême. Autrement, on ne comprendrait pas pour quelle raison Paris et Washington, depuis toujours soutiens majeurs du président Kabila, ont appelé à une reprise immédiate des pourparlers entre le gouvernement de Kinshasa et le M23. Ceux-ci se déroulent à Kampala sous l’égide de la Conférence internationale de la région des Grands Lacs (CIRGL). Cette nouvelle session du dialogue, démarrée en septembre, fait partie d’un processus complexe qui n’est pas trop du goût des puissances occidentales, certainement plus enthousiastes face à l’éventualité d’une solution militaire et rapide de la crise dans l’Est de la RDC. Ce qui ne semble pourtant pas être l’avis de l’envoyé spécial du président américain dans les Grands Lacs, Russel Feingold. De passage à Paris, celui-ci s’est prononcé pour l’arrêt des combats : « Il y a d’énormes risques à continuer comme ça, en pensant que la solution militaire est l’unique réponse. Cela risque d’attirer d’autres forces et pourrait conduire à une guerre croisée. »

Néanmoins, si le spectre d’une intervention de Kigali pour faire taire les armes lourdes qui, du côté congolais de la frontière, font des victimes parmi ses populations civiles (et cela sans que la Monusco bronche…), fait peur aux acteurs le plus responsables de la crise, l’internationalisation du conflit, avec des conséquences de déstabilisation de toute la sous-région, fait toujours partie de l’agenda des forces occultes qui opèrent notamment au sein du DOMP.

A Kampala, où la délégation du M23 est de plus en plus sceptique sur la volonté gouvernementale de vouloir reprendre d’une manière constructive les négociations de paix, un colonel de la rébellion ironises face aux rumeurs d’une débandade de son mouvement lors des derniers combats et répond en citant Sun Tzi, la maître chinois de la pensée militaire : « Ne répétez pas les mêmes tactiques victorieuses, mais adaptez-vous aux circonstances chaque fois particulières. »

PALUKU, KOBLER AND KABILA CLAIMING VICTORY A LITTLE EARLY

I should have added Jacob Zuma because he said it yesterday, a little louder than anyone else. In the DRC to check on his mining returns and probably his nephew's deals around oil exploitation in the Virunga National park, he was speaking of FARDC achievements in the Kivu while killings are happening in Lubumbashi. But at the moment I will not focus on Lubumbashi. I just want to remind Paluku, I can't do the same with Kobler because he's justed landed, heavy highhandedly though... I just want to remind Paluku how he run from Goma in November last year. I want him to rethink exactly how many men came down from Runyone and routed 800 FARDC chasing them all the way into Uganda. He should remember that the same strategists who are withdrawing from towns, primarily to avoid a war of FDLR-FIB-FARDC against civilians, are still running the military operations of the rebels. He also should know that, while the coalition FARDC-FIB/MONUSCO is still working with FDLR and that's what makes him and his boss feel invincible. The rebels know all too well how any civilian casualties will be quickly and squarely blamed on them. We've been going for a few months without  UN Experts reports incriminating rebels and neighboring countries, and that's what Ladsous men are looking for. We only had that Enough Project bla, bla, bla...

If Julien Paluku has memory, he should surely remember that the 400 men that marched all the way from Bunagana to Goma are the same ones giving way to Mamadou. The speed of things should invite caution, rather than early victory drums. You can't beat drums when you did not fight. 

Now let's try understand what is going on now. From the point of view of vultures, Ladsous and his Kobler have not changed, neither their objective, nor their lies. Speaking of Ladsous objective, it's the support for the corrupt regime in Kinshasa with whose benediction he can use FDLR to achieve the long time dream of France for the Great Lakes, a total war. M23 and before it CNDP -I tend to think that I really prefer Nkunda's CNDP- have proven to be a thorn in the foot for Ladsous. With the cause they defend, he cannot succeed, hence the whole implication of the UN forces into criminal and very soon to be, genocide activities, under the glare of the entire world. I mean, the entire world prefers to be obsessed with M23 and invest hugely into eradicating it, simply because it does two serious things: first its daring to challenge the corrupt neglect of the successive ruling classes of the DRC over the destiny and the place of Eastern DRC under the sun; secondly its no less daring determination to fight the genocide forces that have disfigured the country and particularly the Kivu. Now,  by daring to engage into these two points, CNDP and now M23 have exposed the extent of corruption of the international community that support the two fundamental ills destroying the Kivu and soon would destroy the Great Lakes.

If you have this in mind, you understand the impossibility for Kabila, Kobler, Paluku, Zuma, Feingold, Power etc... to grasp the move M23 is taking by withdrawing from all these towns. You can also understand why they'd be so quick to declare victory. But the real reason they are declaring victory so fast is the fact that they know the international community's commitment to the corrupt regime in Kinshasa and the protection they are always ready to give to FDLR. Can you now begin to see why New Vision was so quick to publish the now flopped scoop of Bertrand Bisimwa alleged arrest by Uganda security? They are just too happy to re-edit the January 2009 scoop by the then chief of staff of a neighboring army. That is what the media working for Kabila and Ladsous via Kobler are very quick to publicize. Actually a journalist has just asked me why a state media in Uganda should be the first to publish a hoax, he wasn't convinced by the fact that it is the Ugandan Army itself that denounced it as a hoax. Waow, the cause of my people has so many and powerful enemies, but that has never been a reason for us to abandon it or start acting cowards. The cowards end the way of the guys who tried to sow they division that saw a number of them arrested in the neighboring country. The rest will continue defending this cause to the last drop of blood of the last man or woman.

I hear that the US administration, after championing Kobler gangsterism, now is toning down its vitriol rhetoric against M23 and calling all the parties back to Kampala. They should be calling Kabila, he's the one who is forever leaving Kampala. It seems that they don't want anyone to loose. But why do you unleash a war if you don't want anyone to loose? Whether you manipulate the talks or not, for a government army and Ladsous army to fail to overcome M23 as they did CNDP is in itself a defeat. A defeat reminiscent of the international defeat together with the genocide forces in 1994. This new model of colonialism will be also defeated in due course, my people need tons of patience.

THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY'S MESS IN KAMPALA

I waited long enough to see in which direction the International Community was going to mislead everyone in the Kampala talks. Now I can confirm as we knew all along that they did not want to take any direction. And more, they only want to keep the Kinshasa status quo going on. No doubt about that. On the surface, they are just spending money on their many trips and hotel business in Kampala. Underneath the surface, they, like Joseph Kabila, want to perpetuate the war in the Kivu. They, like Kabila, want to tranform the DRC, from the Kivu, into a chaotic mess like Somalia. They are aware M23 is the last obstacle they need to overcome in order to complete their sinister job. Some of you might find my view quite radical, but in reality, it has not changed. The proof of what I am saying is cast in the only thing Kabila and his International Community are working for. We know the only thing they'd like to see M23 sign is:

1) Desarm and reintegrate FARDC

2) Transform into a political party

And these, my dear readers are just two impossibilities. It is out of question for M23 to disarm, and even more so out of question for M23 to reintegrate FARDC. We've been there, done that as the popular saying goes. It is absolutely out of question for M23 to transform into a political party, sorry delegate Kambasu Ngeve. If you think that's a possibility you have not learnt the lessons of 2009. But I believe you are being forced by that so called international community to say that! I have thousands of reasons why M23 cannot and should not reintegrate FARDC. The brassage and mixage should be enough reasons not to try that again. But more importantly, no one from Kivu should integrate an army working with FDLR since 1994 to destroy the Kivu so systematically. The United Nations should understand that, while as an international body they have soiled their hands with our people's blood by working side by side with genocidaires in Rwanda, and then with their new version in the DRC, no son or daughter of the Kivu should ever do the same. Let Kabila's FARDC and the UN brigade do that, but do not use your phony and failed diplomacy to claim M23 should do the same.

Since 1959, political parties have brought some kind of curse on the political landscape of the DRC. As someone who studies politics, I should say that they are only machines of power used to seize it and then keep it at all cost, even in the so called modern democracies. They are never tools to develop the people. As manipulation tools, they are highly and thoroughly corrupt and corruptible. If you have any doubt on this, just go back and study how Kabila ended up assembling the famous Majorité Présidentielle. And again check the record to see whether this has taken the country in any development direction. It has instead created a blotted parliament with what the Congolese sense of humour calls des parlementaires budgetivores et per-diemistes. You need to create fat political parties and if you must swallow all the small ones to fatten yours even more, then you do it. Isn't Mwangachuchu still a CNDP member of the Kin political class? Has the transformation of the CNDP into a political party in 2009 accomplished anything at all?

While the Kin delegation like a capricious child slammed the negociations in Kampala, the so  called international community took over, "unofficially" they'd tell you, to try a force M23 into the absurd alternative above. No word about declaring the Kivu a disaster zone, because it does not please Kabila. Yet it is a disaster zone, though other parts of the country can claim more or less the same. In my opinion, this should be the only point on the agenda, but not with that name of a disaster zone: it should be an Urgent Funding Recostruction Zone. The conditions for dealing with it should come in this order: 1) Let M23 clear FDLR (not by FARDC or the MONUSCO-FIB because of their involvement with FDLR); 2) Resettlement of IDPs and refugees (because you need hard working people for the reconstruction); 3) Streamline and Phase out NGOs using a clear reconstruction agenda; 4) Heavy infrastructure funding involving roads, agriculture & livestock; education, health, water and sanitation; 5) Investment opportunities within a regional framwork towards the EAC, once FDLR have been uprooted.

So why is the international community being obstinate like the capricious Kabila? Very simple answer: they want like him to resort to the military option. They've wanted this all along. The stalemate in Kampala, the inclusion of Russell Feingold as the US representative in this whole thing, the Lasdsous agenda within the UN etc. are all tactics to drive to the war. I believe M23 knows this and would not be surprised that this is where all this is leading. The West's determination to militarize everything isn't even about peace, it's about the market for their arms industry and their thirst to create chaos everywhere. The recent history of geo-politics is plagued with this sinister agenda. So my friends do not expect much from Kampala. I am surprised at the M23 delegation patience in showing they really want to give a chance to peace, but no one else is interested in that as you can see.
