SUBJECT: CHARGE MEETS WITH NORTH KIVU DELEGATION OF 
PARLIAMENTARIANS 
 
1. (SBU) Summary.  Seven of 48 National Assembly deputies from North 
Kivu, representing nearly all the province's districts and ethnic 
groups, were received by the Charge d'Affaires. They raised a number 
of issues, including current insecurity in North Kivu, the return of 
FDLR members to Rwanda, and the special problems of women in North 
Kivu. They also proposed an inter-Rwandan dialogue. End summary. 
 
2. (SBU) On September 27, Charge d'Affaires Samuel Brock received a 
group of seven National Assembly deputies from North Kivu, led by 
Come Sekimonyo, at the Embassy.  The deputies requested the meeting 
to offer their views on the causes of insecurity in eastern Congo in 
general, and in North Kivu in particular.  They thanked the U.S. for 
having  supported the organization of the process that led to 
election of the president and parliament. 
 
Calling for FDLR departure 
-------------------------- 
 
3. (SBU) The deputies called for integration of dissident General 
Laurent Nkunda's troops into the FARDC and the return of FDLR 
members to Rwanda.  They stated that FDLR members who participated 
in the 1994 Rwandan genocide must be prosecuted, but believed that 
80 per cent of the FDLR -- although Rwandan nationals -- are not 
genocidaires.  Nkunda's National Congress for the Defense of the 
People (CNDP) includes members, such as Kakolele and Bosco Ntaganda, 
who have been sanctioned under UNSCR 1596.  The deputies stated 
emphatically that the people of North Kivu do not deserve their 
current situation. 
 
Tutsis are not victims of segregation 
------------------------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) Contrary to Nkunda's allegations that Tutsis are segregated 
and marginalized, the deputies noted that Tutsis are present in all 
national political institutions: there are ten Tutsi generals in the 
army; the one Tutsi deputy in the National Assembly, Dunia Bakarani, 
was elected by non-Tutsi voters; and the Tutsis in the Senate, 
Edouard Mwangachuchu and Moise Nyarugabo, were elected by provincial 
assemblies (North Kivu and Kinshasa) with non-Tutsi majorities. 
(Note: The delegation did not include the province's Tutsi deputy. 
End note.) 
 
The solution: an inter-Rwandan dialogue 
--------------------------------------- 
 
5. (SBU) To achieve sustainable peace in the region, the deputies 
stated an inter-Rwandan dialogue, similar to reconciliation 
dialogues held in DRC, Burundi and South Africa, was necessary. 
They noted that as long as there is no justice, there will be no 
reconciliation.  They urged that Rwanda contribute to the process, 
because simply pushing the FDLR further inside the DRC will neither 
solve the problem, nor appease the Rwandan government in the long 
run.  Besides, there are also Rwandan Tutsi refugees, such as King 
Kigeri who is in the U.S., and the former Speaker of the Rwandan 
parliament, Sebarenzi.  They called for a corridor for returning 
Rwandans home, and requested U.S. assistance for opening diplomatic 
relations with Rwanda; with the FDLR problem resolved, they averred, 
Mayi Mayi fighters will be redundant, and Rwanda will not need 
Nkunda.  The deputies also requested greater U.S. aid to the region 
and a visit to the U.S. Senate to present their proposals for 
peaceful solutions. 
 
 
6. (SBU) Perhaps the most interesting and compelling statement 
during the meeting was made by Ms. Sabine Muhima Bintu, the only 
woman in the delegation and one of two women deputies from North 
Kivu.  She opened her presentation by saying she was making a "cry 
from the heart" on behalf of the women she represents.  With visible 
emotion she went through a litany of the many forms of suffering and 
humiliation of her female constituents.  She asked the international 
community for help in repairing women's physical and psychological 
wounds and in enabling them through training to earn a living for 
themselves and their children since many of them had been abandoned 
by their husbands after being raped and, in many cases, injured 
permanently. 
 
We hear you 
----------- 
 
7. (SBU) The Charge thanked the deputies for their visit and their 
powerful testimony.  He commended them for having taken the 
initiative in requesting a meeting, because in so doing they were 
working on behalf of their constituents, the top priority of an 
elected official.  Their presence, he said, was a demonstration of 
 
the young Congolese democracy in action.  He also noted that 
although he and many Americans had learned of the ongoing fighting 
in North Kivu, understanding the situation there was made easier by 
hearing about it from persons who knew it first hand.  He informed 
them of the appointment of Timothy Shortley as Senior Advisor to the 
Assistant Secretary for African Affairs for conflict resolution, 
discussing his ongoing efforts to promote peace and development in 
the Great Lakes region.  The Charge also referred to USG assistance 
in the region, including USAID efforts to promote DDR, good 
governance, health, education and agriculture. 
 
Deputies to organize a workshop 
------------------------------- 
 
8. (U) The deputies informed the Charge that they are preparing a 
Conference on Peace and security in eastern DRC, to be convened in 
October in either Bukavu or Goma.  They are holding discussions as 
to who should participate, what topics should be dealt with, and 
what results should be expected.  They reiterated that it will be a 
workshop, not an "intercommunity roundtable," because there is no 
intercommunity struggle in Kivu.  They concluded by saying that 
Kagame should not make the error Habyarimana made by keeping fellow 
citizens in exile.  They called for the return of the FDLR to 
Rwanda, because most are innocent, pending a trial for the guilty 
ones. 
 
9. (SBU) Comment:  We were moved by the efforts of these elected 
representatives to get their story across:  "Our constituents are in 
great distress and we need your help."   Also noteworthy was the 
fact that despite different political affiliations, they brought 
with them a unity of purpose:  service to their constituents.  They 
were serious and forthright, and the majority were articulate and 
eloquent in expressing their positions and articulating the 
suffering of people in North Kivu.  The Conference they have 
proposed may not resolve all problems, but it is a positive step in 
getting all Congolese stakeholder groups to discuss the problems and 
contribute to their solution.  Finally, they will likely push for a 
meeting with Tim Shortley during his next visit to the DRC.  End 
comment.
