SUBJECT: MONUC BUKAVU BRIEFS AMBASSADOR ON SOUTH KIVU 
MILITARY SITUATION 
 
1.  (SBU)  Summary:  During a June 16 visit to South Kivu, 
MONUC Bukavu Acting Head of Office Cheikh Bangoura and South 
Kivu Brigade Commander General Ahmed Maqsood briefed the 
Ambassador on the status of FDLR militia and the tactics used 
-- joint FARDC-MONUC operations and the DDRRR program -- to 
deal with them.  End summary. 
 
FDLR: Progress but still a problem 
---------------------------------- 
2.  (SBU)  According to Bangoura, an estimated 2,500-3,000 
FLDR remain in South Kivu, grouped in five battalions of 
400-500 men.  While not considered a threat to the electoral 
process, the militia have been responsible for increased 
human rights violations in recent months in Walungu, Kabare, 
Mwenga, Shabunda, and Kalehe.  MONUC has no evidence of the 
FDLR recruiting child soldiers in recent months, though the 
main victims of FDLR attacks remain children.  The FDLR is 
still abducting Congolese for forced labor and sexual slavery. 
 
Tactic 1:  Military action 
-------------------------- 
3.  (SBU)  The three Pakistani battalions in South Kivu have 
a total of 2,706 troops.  They are "stretched to their 
limits," according to General Maqsood.  Because of this, 
their response time to FDLR threats across South Kivu 
province is delayed.  They are addressing the problem by 
using Mobile Operating Bases in which the troops live with 
the people - they hire local guides, do confidence building 
and elections sensitization, support youth village vigilance 
committees, and foil abduction attempts.  MONUC South Kivu 
Brigade has also provided logistical support to recent FARDC 
operations in Kabare, Walunga, Mwenga, and Bunyakiri.  (Note: 
 Since December 2005, FARDC-led campaigns have destroyed 20 
FDLR strongholds and camps.  End note.)  The Pakistanis 
regularly conduct capacity building and training programs for 
FARDC officers on basic human rights principles.  Over 200 
officers and 2,500 regular troops have so far received 
training, including the Third Integrated Brigade and the 
FARDC Navy.  MONUC South Kivu Brigade also supported pay 
distribution to the Third Brigade.  One growing concern is 
that, while the integration of the FARDC troops is proceeding 
steadily, most of the troops are opting to demobilize, 
leaving a security vacuum in the province. 
 
Tactic 2:  DDRRR 
---------------- 
4.  (SBU)  Bangoura told the Ambassador that, since the 
program's inception, 8,400 FLDR and 4,600 of their dependents 
have gone through DDRRR and returned to Rwanda.  MONUC 
maintains regular contact with the FDLR and actively promotes 
the DDRRR program through sensitization campaigns, 
information gathering on the FDLR, repatriation of 
ex-combatants, follow-up on returnees, and the Joint 
Verification Team with Rwanda.  According to MONUC, those 
implicated in the genocide don't want to return to Rwanda and 
are preventing the majority of FDLR, most of whom are younger 
than 25, from leaving DRC through the use of physical 
threats, attacks, and murder.  Bangoura sees recent, more 
active FDLR resistance as a sign that MONUC and FARDC are 
making life "more difficult for them."  He says the FDLR are 
cornered due to domination missions, and their lives are 
miserable.  They are "fed up," but their bosses won't let 
them go.  MONUC Bukavu contends that they need a bigger, 
positive campaign to attract more FDLR to the DDRRR program. 
According to Bangoura, DDRRR messages cannot just be 
transmitted by radio -- direct contact with soldiers must be 
made to explain what is being offered.  One suggestion is 
that high profile returnees such as Colonel Amani come back 
to talk to their former comrades and explain that they have 
been well-treated and integrated into the Rwandan army.  The 
risk, however, is that the returnees would be killed by those 
unwilling to repatriate, so a system of protection would be 
needed. 
 
 
Comment 
------- 
5.  (SBU)  The DDRRR program continues to face challenges in 
getting the word out to, and having that word believed by, 
the average FDLR soldier who wants to demobilize and return 
to Rwanda.  Innovative ideas, such as taking the DDRRR 
message directly to soldiers, though dangerous, may be the 
best solution to a continuing problem.  End comment.
