DR Congo to open center for reintegration of combatants
Source: Xinhua News Agency
Date: 19 Jan 2009
NAIROBI, Jan 19, 2009 (Xinhua via COMTEX News Network) -- The Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) is to open a center in its troubled eastern province of North Kivu for Tutsi rebels and other combatants willing to be reintegrated into national army.
General Vainqueur Mayala, regional military commander, announced the center would be opened in the coming days in the city of Mushake, where a meeting was held on Sunday to discuss the reintegration of combatants.
The announcement marked the latest development after the rebel National Council for the Defense of the People (CNDP) chief of staff, Bosco Ntaganda, signed a peace deal with the government in repudiation of CNDP leader Laurent Nkunda.
Barriers were being removed in an area 40 km away from the provincial capital of Goma, where Ntaganda's generals announced an end to hostilities on Friday.
Goma is relieved of pressure with the dissident CNDP fighters and a pro-government militia burying the axe. The militia, known by its French acronym PARECO, said they saw no reason for continued fighting with Ntaganda's men.
Both factions have agreed to be reincorporated into the government army FARDC.
Ntaganda and PARECO leader Mugabo Bagumu were present at the start of the operation to lift roadblocks between Mushake and Goma.
Signs of splits between Ntaganda and Nkunda were reported seven months ago. When the CNDP routed the FARDC in advances toward Goma in late October, Ntaganda announced the death of his boss in a signed document.
The showdown came ahead of the latest round of talks that began on Jan. 7 between the government and the CNDP in Nairobi, Kenya.
Ntaganda based in the mountainous Masisi region declared the takeover of the 5,000-strong rebel group from Nkunda, who is usually headquartered in Rutshuru.
The final division occurred amid speculation that Nkunda held Ntaganda responsible for killing 150 civilians in Kiwanja in November and would take punitive measures against him.
The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for Ntaganda on charges of conscripting children under 15 in the civil war. Nkunda may want to get rid of him in the power struggle in a bid to clean the CNDP which also faces serious criminal charges, analysts said.
Nkunda has yet to conclude a formal cessation of hostilities with the government. No agreement was reached during the Nairobi talks, which adjourned late Thursday until next week.
The CNDP leader is under pressure with dissident generals signing a deal in Goma with the FARDC, in the presence of Interior Minister Celestin Mbuyu, as well as DR Congolese and Rwandan army chiefs.
It is not clear whether Nkunda would strike a deal of his own with the government in the next round of talks.
The renegade Tutsi general is currently conditioning an agreement on the FARDC withdrawal from a so-called buffer zone his men had vacated for UN humanitarian aid to refugees. But the government and the UN peace mission in the vast central African country have repeatedly denied the FARDC presence.
The escalating conflict between government forces and the CNDP has displaced an estimated 250,000 people since last August on top of the 800,000 already rendered homeless in the region, mainly in North Kivu Province which borders Rwanda and Uganda.

The UN in Congo (MONUC) must arrest wanted war criminal NTAGANDA now

The UN in Congo (MONUC) must arrest wanted war criminal NTAGANDA now

न्यू पेटिशन काल्लिन्फ़ फॉर उन तो अर्रेस्ट वांटेड वर criminal

The Mobilization for Justice and Peace in D.R. Congo (MJPC) announced today that it has launched a new online petition that can be signed at http://www.gopetition.com.au/online/24459.html asking concerned citizens around the world to demand MONUC to take concrete actions to arrest Bosco Ntaganda wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes.

MONUC is currently the largest UN peacekeeping mission in the world with more than 17,600 uniformed personnel from 58 countries with an annual budget of more than $1bn.

In April 2008, the International Criminal Court (ICC) unsealed the warrant of arrest against Mr. NTAGANDA whic was first issued on 22 August 2006 by Pre-Trial Chamber I. The Chamber concluded that there were reasonable grounds to believe that from July 2002 to end of December 2003, Mr. NTAGANDA had played an essential role in enlisting and conscripting children under the age of fifteen years into the FPLC and using them to participate actively in hostilities.
According to Amede KYUBWA, Executive Director of MJPC, "concerned citizens around the world are being asked to contribute to the arrest of NTAGANDA by putting pressure on MONUC to take whatever necessary actions to arrest this war criminal." He decried MONUC's failure to take appropriate action to arrest him despite evidence showing that they know his whereabouts. MJPC urges MONUC to treat those who have committed war crimes in Congo as criminals and refrain from helping them to be appointed to high governmental posts. "rewarding war criminals with the governmental posts does nothing else than promoting more war criminals, preventing justice to thousands of victims including children and women who have suffered at the hands of these criminals and it shamefully contradicts directly the values and principles of the U.N" said Mr. KYUBWA
As part of its global campaign to help end the cycle of violence and impunity in Congo, MJPC lounched it first online petition in November 2008 calling for MONUC to immediately arrest notorious war criminal NKUNDA which can still be signed http://www.gopetition.com/online/23604.html. So far more than 1085 people have signed the petition, including those from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, USA, Kenya, Rwanda, France, German, Denmark, Sweden, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines, South Africa, Malawi, Burundi, Senegal, Nigeria, Spain, Japan, the UK, Venezuela, Itali, Ethiopia, China, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, and Uganda.
About the MJPC. MJPC seeks to add a voice in advocating for justice and peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo particulary in the east of the D.R. Congo where thousands innocent civilian including children and women continue to suffer massive human rights violations while armed groups responsible for these crimes go unpunished. Visit the Online Museum of Victims of War in Congo in Congo at http://www.yoursilenceoncongo.org to see the unacceptable barbarity that you could help stop by signing the petition. For more information on MJPC and the activities, visit the wbsite www.mjpcongo.org. or call Amede Kyubwa @ 916 753 5717. The two online petitions can be signed at the following addresses:for arresting NKUNDA at http://www.gopetition.com/online/23604.html and arresting NTAGANDA at http://www.gopetition.com.au/online/24459.html
