Once
again [February 3, 2009] I'm asking for proof, from the Rwandan authorities,
that Nkunda really IS safe, in a safe-house, as they so-announced after
arresting him nearly two weeks ago - on January 22, 2009 - and since which time
there has been no mention of what is happening to Nkunda.
COMMANDANTE, THEY SAY THE SUN WILL FOLLOW EVERY RAIN,
A HERO OR A LIBERATOR, THEY BOTH HAVE A DISTANT GOAL, IF WE EXPLORE THE
HEAVENS, OR IF WE SEARCH INSIDE, WELL, IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER TO US NOW AS
LONG AS WE CAN TELL OURSELVES………………
YOU HAVE ALWAYS TRIED COMMANDANTE COMMANDANTE these
mist covered mountains of Masisi were home for you until now, But your home is
the lowlands, and always will be, Someday you'll return to your valleys and
your farms,
To this day,
President Paul KAGAME has not responded to the request by Counsel representing
Laurent NKUNDA for a meeting to discuss his arbitrary detention in Kigali.
GENERAL JAMES KABAREBE IS THE
OBJECT OF A NEW MOTION SEEKING THE RELEASE OF LAURENT NKUNDA BUT THE REGISTRAR
OF THE MILITARY TRIBUNAL IN KIGALI
REFUSES TO TAKE POSSESSION OF IT
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.
