SUBJECT: UN PROTECTION CLUSTER WORKS TO STABILIZE NORTH AND 
CENTRAL KATANGA 
 
REF: A. KIN 638 
 
     B. KIN 747 
 
1.  (SBU)  Summary:  During a June 17-18 visit to Kalemie, 
Katanga, Poloff held meetings with humanitarian groups 
represented in the UN protection cluster, a newly formed 
channel for addressing violence against populations.  The 
protection cluster in Kalemie faces particular challenges 
dealing with rampant insecurity, a massive IDP population, 
and low local capacity.  End summary. 
 
What is a protection cluster? 
----------------------------- 
2.  (SBU) The Kalemie UN protection cluster, a cooperative 
working group for the protection of civilians in north and 
central Katanga, was created in early 2006 in response to 
massive humanitarian crises in the region (Ref A).  As does 
its sister cluster in Lubumbashi, the Kalemie cluster focuses 
on violence against the population, IPDs, and refugees, but 
excludes developmental issues such as water, health, and 
education beyond emergency access.  Composed of UN and local 
agencies, the cluster serves not only as a forum for the 
exchange of information, but also as a place for humanitarian 
agencies to work together to persuade authorities, neutralize 
misinformation, and effectively campaign for additional 
assistance. 
UN members of the Kalemie cluster are the UN High Commission 
for Refugees (UNHCR); the UN Office of Coordination for 
Humanitarian Assistance (OCHA); the UN Children's Fund 
(UNICEF), the World Food Program, and the MONUC Kalemie Child 
Protection, Civil Affairs, and Human Rights Offices. 
International NGO members of the Kalemie cluster are: 
Caritas, Alisei, Danish Church Aid, IFESH, and Medicins du 
Monde France -- all of whom have local offices in Kalemie. 
 
Instability in Tanganyika 
------------------------ 
3.  (SBU)  The Kalemie cluster is striving to be effective 
despite the massive obstacles it faces in the unstable 
Tanganyika district encompassing north and central Katanga. 
According to UNHCR representatives, the biggest problem is 
exactions by the Mai Mai, the FARDC, and security agencies 
(septel), including sexual violence, extortion, arbitrary 
arrest, and appropriation of land.  The cluster is also 
working on the problem of reinsertion of ex-combatants and 
the question of peaceful cohabitation between ex-combatants 
and refugee/internally displaced persons (IDPs) populations. 
According to the OCHA representative, some of the estimated 
200,000 IDPs have started to return to Kalemie and other 
Tanganyika district towns since renegade Colonel Gedeon's 
unbrassaged militia, which had been destabilizing central 
Katanga, surrendered to MONUC (Ref B).  Unfortunately for 
those returning, there is no food, and they have missed two 
growing seasons. Because it's in an insecure zone, 
humanitarian groups cannot deliver aid.  Meanwhile, Congolese 
armed groups are harassing the population for food. 
Malnutrition and illness are becoming rampant, but medical 
infrastructure, such as it is, is localized in towns.  In the 
last few months, the UNHCR representative and protection 
cluster chair noted, there has been a big humanitarian 
response to the crisis, but problems of security and 
infrastructure, especially roads, have made it difficult to 
access needy populations. 
 
4.  (SBU)  Further complicating the matter is that, according 
to UNHCR, there is simply not much local capacity.  Many of 
the agencies in the protection cluster have no local partner 
with an ability to assist the population; nearly all noted 
that the international community presence in the district is 
feeble.  Despite the now-famous International Crisis Group 
report, IDPs in Katanga are in a precarious situation.  The 
protection cluster members are also very concerned about the 
anticipated departure of MONUC.  They fear that once upcoming 
elections have taken place, donors will believe all is well 
and push for an end to the UN mission.  In those 
circumstances, said the UNHCR representative, the situation 
would become "unmanageable." 
 
5.  (SBU)  Comment:  As with MONUC, UN and local humanitarian 
groups feel overwhelmed with the scale and extent of problems 
in north and central Katanga.  They also feel overlooked by 
national and international government agencies and donors who 
focus more on the Kivus and Ituri than on the equally 
volatile Tanganyika district.  Despite the good news of 
Gedeon's arrest and new Mai Mai demobilizations, the 
 
KINSHASA 00001093  002 OF 002 
 
 
population displacement and its after-effects are only 
beginning to be recognized.  The UN protection cluster, which 
allows humanitarian workers to pool their influence and 
expertise, is a first step toward both publicizing the needs 
of the region and attempting to address them.  End comment.
