SUBJECT: NORTH KIVU UPDATE (9/10/07 17:00 GMT): FIGHTING 
DIMINISHING, BUT TENSIONS REMAIN 
 
REF: KINSHASA 1072 
 
1. (SBU) Fighting has diminished in North Kivu since 
pro-government forces and troops loyal to dissident General 
Laurent Nkunda stopped shooting in and around Sake, 20 miles 
west of the provincial capital Goma, on September 6. There 
have been isolated incidents in Rutshuru territory and in 
northern parts of Masisi territory over the past few days, 
but the apparent pause in fighting around Sake appears to be 
holding. MONUC and Congolese military (FARDC) sources told us 
elements of the mixed Bravo Brigade fired on one another 
September 7 outside the village of Nkokwe about 30 miles 
northeast of Goma. MONUC military officials said skirmishes 
took place west of Kitchanga, about 30 miles north of Goma, 
September 7 between Nkunda loyalists of Delta Brigade and 
suspected Mayi-Mayi and FDLR fighters. The incidents have not 
sparked any wider conflict. 
 
2. (SBU) MONUC authorities had earlier claimed its 
peacekeepers had brokered a "ceasefire" in Sake between the 
two sides. MONUC military spokesman Major Gabriel deBrosses 
later backed away from such language, saying in press reports 
that there is no official, written ceasefire in place. Other 
MONUC officials said the firing stopped only after 
peacekeepers arrived and secured positions in Sake, 
separating the two sides. DeBrosses and other MONUC personnel 
told us they believe the current lull is allowing the FARDC 
and Nkunda's forces to regroup and solidify their positions 
in Sake and elsewhere. MONUC peacekeepers remain deployed in 
Sake and are continuing their patrols to defend Goma and 
other populated areas. 
 
3. (U) With the lull in fighting, two top FARDC commanders 
spent September 8 in North Kivu to evaluate the situation. 
FARDC Chief of Defense Forces General Dieudonne Kayembe and 
Land Forces Commander General Gabriel Amisi, along with MONUC 
North Kivu Brigade Commander General Bikram Singh, toured 
Sake and other recent battlefield locations by air. Kaymebe 
said he would make a full report to President Kabila upon his 
return to Kinshasa. Singh and other MONUC officials 
reiterated previous calls for dissidents to leave positions 
that threatened urban areas and report for integration. 
 
4. (SBU) The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian 
Affairs (OCHA) chief John Holmes, finishing a five-day visit 
to the DRC, said in Goma September 7 he found the internally 
displaced persons (IDP) situation in the province 
"intolerable." Holmes said the UN would work closely with the 
GDRC and neighboring governments to find a peaceful solution 
to the current violence. He allowed that security was such 
that it impeded immediate access for humanitarians agency to 
IDP populations. New figures from OCHA and UNHCR estimate 
there are nearly 300,000 IDPs in the southern part of North 
Kivu, although officials admit these numbers are only 
estimates. 
 
5. (U) In a September 4 communique, Nkunda attacked Kabila as 
the chief instigator of the recent violence in North Kivu, 
claiming the president has failed to live up to the December 
2006 Kigali agreements that led to the "mixage" process. He 
criticized Kabila for the FARDC's failure to provide 
sufficient troops for a sixth mixed brigade or to allow those 
units to begin operations against the FDLR. He further argued 
that Kabila has failed to address claims in Nkunda's "cahier 
des charges," thus embarrassing Kabila himself and Rwanda, 
which helped broker the original "mixage" deal. Nkunda 
alleged his political wing, the National Congress for the 
Defense of the People (CNDP), does not wish to overthrow the 
government or seize power by force. He said the CNDP and its 
members are convinced the current crisis can only be resolved 
through negotiation. 
 
6. (U) The staunchly pro-Kabila daily "L'Avenir" criticized 
MONUC in its September 8 and 10 editions for "saving" Nkunda 
by its intervention in Sake, adding that the Department's 
call for negotiations appears to put Nkunda and his troops on 
an equal footing with the FARDC. The September 10 edition 
asserted that the international community tends to take 
MONUC's position and denounced the Department's press release 
for appearing to indiscriminately blame violence on both the 
government and insurgents. The article noted that while the 
Department lauded the recent meetings between the GDRC and 
Rwandan officials, it failed to acknowledge links between 
Rwandan authorities and the conflict in North Kivu. The paper 
concluded that helping the DRC and Rwanda live in peace 
 
KINSHASA 00001082  002 OF 002 
 
 
depends on finding a definitive solution to the "Nkunda 
problem."
