Running water is a luxury in DR Congo. Photo Archives The board of water supply (Regideso), assembly and Kasai Oriental province are brought to justice by the Congolese Consumers League (Licoco) who accused them of private population of drinking water for nearly two weeks.
The complaint filed on April 9 with the Attorney General, said that from March 29 to April 7, 2010, populations of the city of Mbuji Mayi have been victims of lack of drinking water and forced to drink and refuel in different rivers bordering the city, under the indifferent eye of the provincial institutions.
Radiookapi reporting of news shows that the complainants claimed that the responsibilities of government are established, particularly in relation to the quality of river water and its consequences for public health.
offending institutions have not yet responded. However, some lawyers believe that the signatories of the complaint should not have to go Attorney General, but before the civil courts for damages.
An offense under the criminal law can only result in two outcomes: a prison sentence or fine. However, such a verdict is inconceivable in the case of legal persons such as Regideso or the provincial government.
At least 40% rate of access to potable water by 2015 in the DRC
The rate of drinking water supply in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which was 22% in 2005 and 26.9% in 2008 expected to increase to 40% in 2015 while that of sanitation coverage and hygiene 9% in 2005 and 15% in 2008 should also increase to 45% for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the DRC in the water, hygiene and sanitation. Minister of Energy, Gilbert Tshiongo Tshibinkubula wa Ntumba, gave this information on Tuesday at the opening session of the second open days of the water sector, hygiene and sanitation held this year from April 13 to 16 2010 on the theme "invest in the sector of water, sanitation and hygiene in the DRC."
Tshiongo According to the minister, only 13.2 million people in the DRC now have access to safe water and 5.4 sanitation and hygiene.
a population estimated in 2015 75millions 13millions with only having access to drinking water, it requires a lot of initiatives from the government that need additional investors with at least U.S. $ 1.231 billion to achieve the MDGs for the sector of water and sanitation and hygiene, said the minister.
The water sector, hygiene and sanitation is a priority of the Strategy Document for growth and poverty reduction (PRSP) of the DRC, said in substance, the Minister of Energy. The major challenge for the DRC, which has huge water resources, as translated into goals in the PRSP, had said before the executive secretary of the National Action Committee on Water and Sanitation (CNAEA) Papy Kibonge consists, to date, to ensure potability and their distribution among the population. This, he said, is to put short-term available to the Congolese people the daily amount of water corresponding to the standard and a healthier living space.
The second open days in the sector of water and sanitation which are organized these days, said Mr. Kibonge offer in the DRC, the opportunity to attract new investors to move the site "water" government of the DRC.

Le Potentiel / HEADLINE: Controversy Kinshasa and New York. MONUC will not leave
We are witnessing a real subtle skirmish between the Congolese government and the UN through MONUC. Mbandaka incidents have served as a trigger for both sides to get out of their hinges and push the controversy further, even if they refuse to admit it. Investigation succeeds investigation, both sides, against a backdrop of statements incisors. And as expected, the special representative of Secretary General Kofi Annan, head of MONUC, Alan Doss, staying in New York at UN headquarters, presented his report to the Security Council which is summarized in these words: "no question of hasty departure. In other words, MONUC refuses to leave.
The Special Representative of the Secretary General of the UN in the DRC and head of MONUC, Alan Doss, warned on Wednesday in New York against a precipitous withdrawal of the mission in light of recent clashes in Dongo and Mbandaka (Equateur), in which the peacekeepers went into action alongside the Congolese army to restore peace. Alan Doss presented members of the Security Council on the 31st report of the Secretary General of the UN, Ban Ki-moon on the UN Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUC).
He expressed "the need to empower national institutions and strengthening them so they are able to assume the responsibilities currently performed by MONUC. The Special Representative stressed that, while fully respecting the views of the Congolese government on its sovereignty, the presence of the mission throughout the country and especially its logistics capacity have contributed greatly to improving the protection of civilians.
The presentation of this report comes as authorities in the DRC clearly require the withdrawal of this mission, established in the country for over ten years. On behalf of the Secretary-General, Alan Doss expressed his confidence in the future of the DRC, despite the difficulties this country is going through: "From the beginning, the UN has been a partner and a friend of the Congo. And I am certain that this relationship will continue when the country enters a new era of independence. In December 2009, the Security Council extended the mandate of MONUC with an emphasis on supporting efforts of the Congolese government in reforming the security sector. "Withdrawal charge", "no precipitous withdrawal." There is a shadow of a doubt that the UN and MONUC condition their withdrawal from the DRC so as not to leave a sense of unfinished business, if there exist no hidden agendas.
Controversy and keywords
This skirmish, like it or not, is sufficient evidence that the DRC and MONUC no longer speak the same language. To take only the case of incidents of Mbandaka, the spokesman of the government has not been kind to MONUC. He criticized his attitude when civilians were in danger. To the Congolese government, MONUC, in accordance with its mission to protect civilians, should intervene to protect people who were killed by insurgents Enyele.
The reaction of the spokesman for MONUC was strong against the backdrop of threat: "In Given the severity of the attack and casualties, the UN Mission had already launched an investigation into this unexpected incident to determine the facts and whether measures could be taken to prevent loss of life and damage that affected and the Congolese and international staff who serve the Congolese population. Assertions and accusations spokesman of the government are extremely serious and damaging to the honor of MONUC personnel. MONUC's interest to check the facts and wants to avoid controversy. The results of the ongoing investigation will be made public in a transparent manner. "
Like it or not, the controversy is there. Where there is concern that the discussions taking place on 17 and 18 April 2010 with the arrival of the Security Council delegation in Kinshasa, are contentious.
Controversy? Yes. Because in the statement of Alan Doss to New York, two words caught the attention of observers warned: "EMPOWERING national institutions and NEW ERA's independence."
If one can afford to interpret these remarks is that the UN is still not satisfied with the way national institutions work. Certainly alluding to the independence of institutions and the separation of powers so that they fully wright. This means that the process of democratization in the DRC indicates not.
What is this new era of independence which is still referred Doss? Could this be the 50th birthday or an expected event does not say his name again? These are all questions that lead to deep reflection.
For, after ten years in the DRC, that can still make the MONUC questioned much of the political class. She could not stop 5 million deaths that we deplore the systematic looting of Congolese resources, the lack of an army in the DRC is still a living reality. The same people are surprised at the strength of MONUC to not leave the DRC and affirm that wherever they went, Bosnia and Herzegovina to Rwanda to Somalia, Angola, the peace missions of the United have always ended in failure, with mixed results. Go, make the Congolese authorities more accountable.
The other side of the story
It is a fact that opinions are divided on the withdrawal of MONUC. In the absence of a military deterrent, some politicians believe he will negotiate with confidence with the UN to pass major reforms in the army, police, intelligence services and public administration.
Better yet, give a second blow to the kidneys process of democratization so that national institutions do show high political office. The situation remains worrying in the east, where the province of Equateur in the comfort of seeing their beliefs still remain MONUC in the DRC. Had it been, the DRC would not have made positive results.
Allow from MONUC in the current conditions amount to push the country into chaos, they argue.

UN: June 2010 TO JUNE 2011 ALAN DOSS A PROPOSED TIMETABLE FOR THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS MISSION IN DRC, "SUBJECT AGREEMENT OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL "
The Special Representative of the Secretary General for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) today proposed to the Council Safety a timetable for the withdrawal of the UN Mission in that country, which would from June 2010 to June 2011, "subject to the Council's decision." Alan Doss, who presented the report
General *, said that given the findings of the Technical Assessment Team, which visited the DRC in March, the Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations of peacekeeping, Alain Le Roy, recommended to President Joseph Kabila and his Prime Minister a "cautious approach" for the withdrawal of MONUC. The Congolese President had explained his vision for a country "that must rely on his own," the Secretary-General Kofi Annan recommends that the first phase of the withdrawal of MONUC began before June 30, 2010. After this phase, the Government of the DRC and MONUC lead jointly in September 2010 and March 2011, an assessment of progress in military operations against armed groups, the level of deployment of security forces responsible for the protection of civilians, and the degree of restoration of State authority in all areas cleared of armed groups.
Doss, who also talked about preparations for 2011 elections, protection of civilians, the activities of armed groups whose events "new and unexpected" Mbandaka, and reform the security sector, has completed his statement Quote Dag Hammarskjöld.
Former Secretary General of the United Nations, died in 1961 in a plane crash while en route to Katanga in its peace efforts, saying, 50 years ago: "The goal of any political effort must be the welfare of the individual in a life of peace and freedom. In Congo, as elsewhere, the means of achieving this goal is first and foremost, independence, peace, integrity and prosperity of the country. " Today, Alan Doss aajouté about a country which this year celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of its independence: "From the beginning, the UN has been a partner and a friend of the Congo and I am sure that this relationship will continue when the country enters a new era in its sovereign independence. " In early trading, the Chairman invited Board members to observe a minute's silence in memory of all those who perished in the accident aircraft which claimed the life of Polish President Lech Kaczynski, his wife and several senior Polish officials.
* Thirty-first report of the Secretary-General on MONUC (S/2010/164
)
THE SITUATION CONCERNING THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO Representative Presentation Special Mr. Alan Doss reiterated the first four months ago, by its resolution 1906 (2009), TheBoard Security has extended the mandate of MONUC until May 31, 2010, focusing on three key tasks: the protection of civilians, disarmament, demobilization and repatriation or reintegration of Congolese and foreign armed groups (DDRR) and support to government efforts to reform the security sector. Although progress has not been equal in all three areas, the Special Representative, however, drew attention to "significant progress".
regards the protection of civilians, Mr. Doss said that MONUC has reinforced its presence in areas most vulnerable violence and has worked with the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) to improve the conduct and discipline for future operations. The joint protection teams have been increased and additional military bases were established in the Kivu provinces and in areas of the Eastern province which operates the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). Regarding the Conduct and Discipline, the Special Representative said that under the policy of "zero tolerance" of President Kabila and the rules governing the support of MONUC to the FARDC, the Mission now provides support to 18 battalions responsible for conducting operations against the Democratic Liberation Forces of Rwanda (FDLR), and only when these operations take into account the aspect of protection of civilians. In this context, it ensures that the chain of command of the FARDC tained no history of violations of human rights. Doss added that the Congolese army has taken significant steps to combat indiscipline and fight against impunity in their rank. Military courts have sentenced at least 25 officers and soldiers last year, "he said. As there is still much to do, he tempered, MONUC and the Section of the rule of law are contributing to the investigation teams and support units to prosecution.
He warned that the discipline is likely to remain a problem as the structural problems of the Congolese army will not be resolved, including delays in the payment of salaries, poor equipment and low level of education, particularly the troops from the various armed groups. After talking to a humanitarian situation "worrying" in the Kivu provinces and parts of Orientale province Alan Doss, acknowledged that security and economic situation improved somewhat in the Kivus
, allowing the return of almost one million people displaced.
The support of MONUC in the fight against armed groups focused on the FDLR who are seeing their numbers decline as their strike force, assured Mr. Doss. He welcomed, in this context, the efforts of some European countries against the FDLR leadership in exile. He called for the continuation of the strategy Amani Leo to secure the population.
The Special Representative also spoke of parallel administrative structures that maintain elements of the National Congress for People's Defence (CNDP) and the recovery of fees they charge in the territory of Masisi. This has caused serious tensions with local communities and lead some commanders CNDP yet integrated into the Congolese army to threaten the MONUC, "he said.
Doss also said that a number of provisions of the Agreements of 23 March have been applied. But he cited among the outstanding issues the announcement of the results of the Commission on military ranks whose delay raises discontent among some officers integrated into the FARDC.
Attacks by the LRA in the Eastern Province remains a concern, he said. If he has seen real progress, it nevertheless underscored the difficulty of fighting an elusive enemy. He therefore called on the Governments concerned in the region to join efforts. In the south of Ituri, "he said again, where conflict persists on a smaller scale, MONUC, which works closely with the FARDC, has helped some 2,000 villagers to return home after fleeing military operations.
In the north-west, a challenge "new and unexpected" was born, recognized the Special Representative, explaining that the government troops, with assistance from MONUC, have repelled a rebel attack in Mbandaka. Given the weak capacity of FARDC to respond to threats in remote areas, MONUC must be prepared to provide logistical support if requested by the Government and within the limits of its resources. On the reform of the security sector, Mr. Doss said a package of laws on defense, army and police which was presented to Parliament. Progress is already visible, he said, citing the national police training and the army by several bilateral partners and the important decisions to establish garrisons in eastern DRC.
During the upcoming visit of the Security Council in the DRC, said the Special Representative, will be to consider how to organize the withdrawal of MONUC without compromising the gains of the past 10 years. The Congolese Government has indicated that it relies on bilateral assistance to strengthen its military capabilities but he also sought the support of MONUC for the training and deployment of three battalions of military police and the building of military justice .
It is clear that MONUC must gradually move from post-conflict stabilization in the consolidation of peace based on a broad partnership of the UNCT United Nations. In this regard, the Representative drew the attention of the Council on the preparation with the National Government of a strategic framework.
Doss concluded by saying that President Kabila has reassured the public about the Government's intention to hold elections in 2011. The Government, he said, is preparing a schedule to be published very soon with details on the type of support that will be applied to community International and MONUC. The adoption of necessary legislation, especially laws relating to the powers of local authorities and the Electoral Commission, is urgently needed to meet the constitutional calendar, "he said.
Mende's accusations are "extremely serious", according to MONUC
Lambert Mende
Charges and statements by the Minister of Communication and Media, Lambert Mende Omalanga, are "extremely serious and damaging to honor the staff of the UN Mission in Congo said Wednesday the door - floor of the Mission, Madnodje Mounoubai, during a weekly press briefing. 
Agency Bulletin of the Associated Press April 15, 2010 Bukavu, April 15 (APA) - Charges and statements by the Minister of Communication and Media, Lambert Mende Omalanga, are "extremely serious and damaging to honor the staff of the UN Mission in Congo said Wednesday the door - floor of the Mission, Madnodje Mounoubai, during a weekly press briefing.
Indeed, the Minister Mende was accused MONUC of "non-assistance to persons in danger" during the fighting between the Congolese army against insurgents Enyele.
Mr. Madnodje has indicated that these assertions are contrary to those of the Congolese authorities welcomed the assistance of MONUC to the Congolese security forces since the beginning of violence in the province of Ecuador last year. "So far, no military authority or civil neither questioned the actions of peacekeepers, or provide information similar to those released by the Minister of Communication and Media ", a - t - he said.
Before the statement of the spokesman of the government, no civil or military authority has questioned the actions of peacekeepers who have done everything within their means to protect civilians and to support the efforts of the FARDC in Mbandaka, said Madnodje Mounoubai.
According to the latter MONUC continues to cooperate with Congolese authorities to do the monitoring of these incidents in order to further strengthen their efforts in fulfilling their responsibilities to protect and reassure civilians in Mbandaka.
Given the seriousness of the attack and casualties, the UN Mission has already launched an investigation into the incident to determine the facts and whether measures could be taken to prevent loss of lives and the damage that affected the Congolese and international staff, a - he concluded.
deep water port at Banana, rail-Ilebo Kikwit Kinshasa, what would they be priority ? (Ta'sar Nsasay-PINI PINI)
is a pertinent question given the precarious situation prevailing in our country, particularly in Kinshasa, but also in Kikwit This reflection is our little rock in the hard work that 'trying to accomplish those who, right now, the country's destiny in hand. Everyone knows that the task is not easy. And it is precisely because he is careful where you go. The height would be those who will replace the current generation in power is accused of negligence or even treason, as it says now "Mobutists" infamous. What is it?
We learned with relief that the government of our country has been negotiated with his counterpart from Brazzaville to the upcoming construction of a railway bridge on our river common to open up the two capitals, and therefore much of our two countries. We congratulate and welcome the good news here. The deliverable of this important book will certainly change our two cities. With this historic agreement, the authorities initially favored the interests of the people. In this announcement, we also learned that the Kinshasa government is considering building a deepwater port at Banana and construction of a railway-Ilebo Kikwit Kinshasa, projects that are related to the first and that it would depend. Without these projects, construction of the aforesaid bridge rail will be compromised. The question is whether what the realization of these projects is it related to the construction of railway bridge Brazzaville and Kinshasa? And if it were so, the realization of these projects is really a priority at this stage? Y would he not have other priorities far more pressing both in Lower Kongo, Kinshasa, Kikwit about?
Populations of the Lower Kongo, namely those of the Mayombe of Manianga, Luozi, of Inkisi and Cataracts, which are primarily oriented toward agriculture, dream only to sell their products in Kinshasa, where there is a fabulous market of eight million. They do not use the ports of Matadi and Boma it to sell their products. They do not increase in disposing of the port of Banana planned. What the huge relief, it would be the construction of roads or railways linking the new Kinshasa, for example from Kimvula to Kinshasa. It would be useful to add a track to the existing bridge commonly called "Bridge Marshal" to facilitate this Mayombe population easy access to market of Kinshasa. It could be envisaged in the near future at least, the construction of a railway between Matadi Pointe Noire-Luozi with a ramp on the Mayombe. When the population of Kinshasa, his attention is to be able to leave that prison in which they are placed in a city where everything is difficult, starting with the simple movement. She wants to work and earn money, and also to eat. The most urgent today in Kinshasa is the construction of the plants may absorb the very high percentage of unemployment in the capital. Kinshasa with its eight million inhabitants has not to date only four plants of lesser importance, namely, two breweries, a plastics manufacturing plant and a plant for manufacturing of foam mattresses. These four plants combined do not even 1 / 1000 th of the workforce. Kinshasa's population is plagued by abject poverty is the root cause of many deaths every day. The vast cemeteries
populate the landscape of Kinshasa are filled with frightening speed and now constitute a significant percentage of the capital territory. The port of Banana or railway-Kikwit Ilebo bring neither work nor food the population of Kinshasa and will not solve its problems of displacement and lack of jobs.
The population of Kikwit, meanwhile, expects only thing the government can contain multiple erosions which threaten the very existence of the city. Erosions threaten to cut off the city of Kikwit and completely paralyzed. If we do take care, in the near future there will be no communication possible between different parts of the city. Whether Nzinda, Kikwit III Kikwit II Kilokoko, Plateau-low or city, each of its neighborhoods remain isolated from the rest of the city. The construction of the railway will not stop this destruction announced. It will perhaps be amplified. It is even possible that when the railroad arrive in Kikwit, the city has already ceased to exist, being fully engulfed in erosion and land slides. Today the lower town of Kikwit is partly buried by sand coming from the Plateau. If nothing is done urgently and with the virulence of rains from March to April, it is feared the worst for this city, especially its lower part, located near the river Kwilu.
As can be seen, the people of the Lower Kongo, Kinshasa and Kikwit, have other priorities that projects a new port and a long and costly railway line. Both projects are located in the extension of settlement activity in the Congo to supply in Western cities in Congolese commodities such as copper, cobalt, manganese, timber, etc.. They will require significant debt with various foreign financial institutions and which will weigh heavily on many generations of our country, exacerbating the misery of the people and its slow death. I hope that this is not what the government wants. That is why it is urgent to reflect adequate for our country to avoid other inconveniences, like, Kinshasa, Kikwit road-Tshikapa which landed in the middle of nowhere.
is the first road in the world that leads nowhere. This road stops in the bush, 100 km from Kikwit. It is a road of 600 km which carefully avoid big cities and large concentrations of people. From Kinshasa to Kenge Kenge and Inzia to the river, this road passes through a vast area uninhabited no added value to this important traffic artery. Masi-Manimba is the only city that the road crosses from side to side, even the city of Kikwit has been touched upon by this route. Because the objective was Tshikapa ores and later Kolwezi. This service road is only a tiny minority scattered here and there having been fortunate enough to be on its route. Otherwise she would spend just as much without reaching anyone, but pursuing its objective of mineral exploitation. At that point in a decade the famous route remained impassable, cut off by having various erosion and deteriorated so quickly because they are poorly built, without much affect populations as well as in Kinshasa from Kikwit. For it must be said that there is not so much population that it travels from Kikwit to Kinshasa, and vice versa.
The population of Kikwit goes mainly to cities, towns and villages located along the valley Kwilu. There she goes to his fields and trade. Kikwit is not living in Kinshasa, but Valley Kwilu and to some extent in the Kasai valley. The most urgent Kikwit would link it by rail to various towns and villages that surround it. Kikwit will shine if it is linked by rail to Idiofa, Gungu, Nkara, Lusanga, Bulungu, Mateko or Bagata and Bandundu.
Kinshasa, meanwhile, lives in the valley of the River Congo (since Kinkole to Kisangani), the Kasai River Valley and Lake Mai-Ndombe. As in Kikwit, if you want to help the people of Kinshasa, it is urgent to build a railway from Kinshasa to Bolobo closer to the food products from Kisangani and Mbandaka-Ubangi. This track can be extended to Bandundu city. It would bring together Lake Mai-Ndombe. In fact the ideal would be that the railway line to link Kinshasa Ilebo, if indeed it must be built, since parte Ndjili airport, goes through Kinkole, Maluku, Kwamutu, Lediba, Bolobo with a strap-Maswa Kwa-Bandundu.
For the city of Kinshasa, the railway is a priority that should go up Ilebo Katanga. In that sense if a channel railway will be built one day between Kinshasa and Ilebo, it would be an extension of the railway from Bandundu Ilebo up, connecting the two valleys of the Kasai and Kwilu, with braces on Bulungu-Masi-Manima, Nkara-Kikwit Idiofa-Gungu. This will allow the population of Kikwit to travel not only to Kinshasa, but also to the various towns and cities Kwilu and Kasai. For
Kikwit has nothing to sell to non-Kinshasa and Kinshasa, two cities suffering from a lack of factories and businesses.
In the same vein, the general Kasai, most urgently, is a railway linking Kananga Mbuji-Mayi may extend into Maniema. It would be the same of the link between Mbuji-Mayi and Katanga. And if we are to develop Katanga, he will certainly consider building in the area of mineral processing plants and manufacturing of resulting products, like vehicles, cars, trains and trams. This will add real value to these raw materials and boost the economy of Katanga. What can justify the construction of railways connecting the Kasai and Katanga to the rest of the country, including Kinshasa, then. Because in our country today there is not even a factory manufacturing bicycles.
Integration Regional advocated by NEPAD must first start with the regions really close to our country and also neighboring countries, without putting too prerequisites supporters and retrograde. We must abandon the colonial projects that alienate our people and what is more devoted his misery and perpetual underdevelopment. Our people do not deserve it.

MONUC: Statement of the Spokesman for the attack on the city of Mbandaka
Document:
20100414_Déclaration Spokesman MONUC's attack on the de_.pdf
see Annex
After a speedy trial, the auditor military has required, Friday, April 9, the death penalty against a lieutenant of the FARDC. This sergeant was convicted of "plunder" during the attack on the town of Mbandaka by fighters called "Enyele. The verdict is expected within ten days.
My friend who knows everything about everything and anything on Kinshasa-lez-Dung fear we are witnessing in the coming days to "judicial murder." According to him, it became customary for the "rais" punishes "NCO" (in Lingala: "Pete Muke") and savings with the top brass, however, failed in their responsibilities. There is no bad troops, there are only bad leaders, "said my friend.
Returning to the attack itself, my friend pointed out that, under other skies, the Minister of the Interior and Defense have been asked to resign for incompetence. Trumpeted the two men the day before the raid, that "all is calm" around the country. To believe my friend, the commander of Military Region, the Chief of General Staff of the FARDC and the leaders of the NRA (Information civilians) and the former DEMIAP (Military Intelligence) should be also " Collect " for lack of foresight of risk of attack that hovered over the capital of the Equateur province. Failing to do so voluntarily, the "upper echelons" had to put this beautiful world outside with a kick in the behind. But very democratic Republic of the Congo, "rais" prefers to blame ... to MONUC which is accused by the "National parrot," Lambert Mende, non-assistance to persons in danger. It is also alleged that mission, for suggesting the opening of negotiations with Enyele. For the "rais", this proposal makes Monuc "accomplice" attackers. Makes you wonder if the role of the UN mission is to police, to replace the national army and fight in place of it. Observer picky, my friend pointed out that the "rais" has missed four days before going to "comfort" people in Mbandaka. Not without taking care previously to dispatch on-site, two Boeing 727 aircraft stuffed with members of his praetorian guard and making sure the attackers had indeed withdrawn from the city. Courageous but not foolhardy. Just as it took the "National parrot" the same timing to concoct a version of events worthy of a "whodunit."

Only God knows what he does at his home and his office. Somewhere, the parrot has a national blackout and try to fill it. Fortunately, the parrot help, you can hear his voice. This is Mende. A friend of Bokumu-Ikela said to me on the phone: "people who attacked Mbandaka are real commandos, probably former DSP. They had no firearm but they managed to neutralize the MONUC and the FARDC and recover their weapons. Then they retreated into the forest Djombo. It is a strong signal for the festivities on June 30 They do not want to take power by force, for they shall be punished by the international community cursed. But they will strike yet somewhere and not necessarily to Ecuador. Calling them "Enyele" is an aberration. And when Mende said they missed their shot, that make me laugh. The parrot still does not understand national. "

] 4/12/2010 2:19:07 p.m. | I welcome all friends and readers Congoindependant clear here, my personal opinion, under the strict independence guaranteed by writing congoindependant.com . Indeed, no country in the world can tolerate navigate through endless negotiations with the rebel movements who will be born like mushrooms. Instead of encouraging leaders like Minister of Defense, Interior, Chief of Staff, the CEO of the NRA, the provincial governor and c. Some countrymen are fond of throwing stones . Remember rather that there about 3 months, Monuc gave 45 days to all Congolese armed movement to disarm and surrender, failing to apply the force. How can this MONUC, even today, suggest to open negotiations with the Congolese armed movements? So we must seek to understand what does MONUC. We have not forgotten that MONUC is the same that was supplying arms and ammunition, armed groups in Kivu and in Ituri, with precious materials. As the MONUC wants to impose an endless circle of violence, to justify his stay forever in the DRC, we are fed up. That this mission continues to go with us to help other countries like Sudan, Somalia, and c. In DRC, the war ended. We are already well advanced on the path of democracy. We also need to know that the issue of security of the DRC is not only the case of the Head of State, Ministers, Governors, Chief of General Staff, the CEO of the NRA and c, but c 'is the business of every patriotic citizen. We have an obligation to report any movement could disturb security and order in the DRC.

The force of arms if necessary. Know, dear sir, that 1500 ex-Faz languishing in jail for months for the sole crime being a native of Ecuador. "We came by force of arms, we do not leave except by force arms" say Kabila. Such talk disqualify them from the outset. When in trouble, they evoke the institutional order, position strength is in jail. What's more normal than face such an attitude, the law of retaliation is the only conceivable.

No, you just pretend to distract us or convince us that: MONUC should leave while this is the same that MONUC has done everything that Kanambe become president! For your sign, remember how many times the CNDP attacked the FARDC? several times that I know. Where are the weapons abandoned by the soldiers? How many times FDLR attacked the FARDC? and the same question comes to know: Where have all the weapons dropped? However, it is fitting to note that negotiations have allowed the launch of Kimia I and II, and all other operations, it was precisely the initiatives of MONUC. Kanambe and Co. rejoiced. Are we able to say that DRC or better in eastern Congo is an oasis of peace for we suggest that MONUC to go elsewhere? You finally realized that the so called rebels in Ecuador, doing what the FDLR and CNDP lé'Est done. Except that they did so to become * Congolese Kanambe and maintain in power "but do Dongola to refuel and especially the movement that will launch in Kinshasa recovered in due course. In other words, MONUC wants to stay and see how Kanambe will leave this country. When Mopipi said that "it is not me, it's the other" unless I am the only one who did understand was that the Mende & Co. say in the days future. Kanambe will be protected in the offices of MONUC. Time will tell.
