SENSITIVE BUT UNCLASSIFIED - PROTECT ACCORDINGLY 
 
Note:  Following report was submitted November 22 by Political 
Counselor David Brown, currently on TDY in Goma.  End note. 
 
FARDC attack near Goma-Rushuru road 
----------------------------------- 
 
1.  (SBU) The FARDC attacked a CNDP position above the Goma-Rutshuru 
road near Rugari yesterday morning.  A Dakar-based AP team reported 
observing FARDC troops loading mobile rocket-launders onto trucks in 
the vicinity around midday following the action.  They said a FARDC 
colonel told them CNDP positions had moved closer to the road 
recently.  The colonel said the FARDC had taken action to 
re-establish control of the road and had pushed back the CNDP 
elements there.  The AP team also observed several FARDC mortars in 
fixed positions near the roadside, and one wounded soldier.  MONUC 
is currently cautioning against travel on the road.  MONUC-Goma head 
of office Ulli Mwambulutuku said recent operations may indicate the 
FARDC is attempting to provoke Nkunda by probing areas under control 
of his troops.  Rugari is located in what Mwambulutuku characterized 
as a "very sensitive place," Nkunda-controlled territory on 
Congo-Uganda-Rwanda border. It is also the pivot of a path between 
that enclave and another in Tomgo to the west. 
 
Rutshuru update 
--------------- 
 
2.  (SBU) Jane Coyne of Medecins Sans Frontieres, which operates 
Rutshuru town's only hospital, said doctors there treated 32 gunshot 
victims there following the FARDC-CNDP clash Wednesday.  All but 
three were civilians, most lightly wounded but including one 
fatality.  She said the hospital is located only 200 yards from the 
FARDC battalion headquarters which was the target of a CNDP attack. 
 Separately, Lt. Col. Sandeep Jaswal, MONUC's chief intelligence 
officer, reported that telephone calls to belligerent commanders by 
Lt. Col R. Parmar, the MONUC commander at Kiwanji base north of the 
town, succeeded in bringing the shooting to an end and withdrawal by 
CNDP forces from the town shortly after the action had begun. 
 
Serufuli lobbies for MONUC MOB 
------------------------------ 
 
3.  (SBU) Provincial deputy Eugene Serufuli asked for assistance to 
convince MONUC to establish a mobile operations base (MOB) near 
Bunagana in Rutshuru territory to encourage the return of residents 
who fled to the Ugandan town of Kisoro.  Serufuli, a controversial 
former senior RCD official and governor during the Transition, 
retains strong ties to the Hutu communities of his Rutshuru power 
base.  He said the refugees tell him they want to return home, but 
UNHCR plans to relocate them away from the border at the end of the 
month.  I relayed his message to Mwambulutuku.  Bunagana is part of 
the CNDP tri-border enclave and the fief of Col. Makenga, a top 
Nkunda commander suspected of serious abuses against alleged FDLR 
sympathizers during his tenure as head of the Bravo mixed brigade. 
Parmar told the WFP-led assessment mission on Wednesday that a MONUC 
MOB established near Jomba in the same enclave has helped facilitate 
the return of some 70 per cent of the town's residents. 
 
SADC generals surprised to find no war in Goma 
--------------------------------------------- - 
 
4.  (SBU) The 21-member Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) 
defense and security mission have been surprised not to encounter 
war zone conditions in Goma.  Mwambulutuku said MONUC's briefing 
yesterday was "a real eye-opener" for the delegation, composed 
principally of senior military and intelligence officers and headed 
by an Angolan lieutenant general.  He said delegates' questions 
included what it would take for the FARDC to become "a real army," 
and the new role of the United States.  The mission arrived November 
22, and was scheduled to visit Sake and the Mugunga IDP complex 
yesterday and Bukavu today before returning for meetings with the 
FARDC regional command and OCHA. 
 
MONUC again appeals for FARDC information-sharing 
--------------------------------------------- ---- 
 
5.  (SBU) The FARDC regional command continues to be averse to 
sharing information with MONUC about North Kivu operations. 
Mwambulutuku reported MONUC commanders told Kayembe and Gaye 
directly that the FARDC needs to share information about troop 
movements and intelligence.   Last week's Mugunga incident, the 
result of FARDC deployment of heavy artillery at its camp in the 
middle of the sprawling IDP complex despite repeated warnings from 
North Kivu Brigade Commanding General I. Narayan, is only the latest 
example.   Jaswal told a U.S.-UK briefing on Monday that the FARDC 
had subsequently moved the artillery, but had refused to tell MONUC

its new location. 
 
Russian BNP's in Goma 
--------------------- 
 
6.  (SBU) Mwambulutuku reported all nine of the DRC's Russian-made 
BNP's (armored personnel carriers) are now on the ground in Goma; he 
has seen them and describes them as "old."  He said Kabila's 
Republican Guard led the tank-like vehicles into town after they had 
been barged up from Bukavu.  The BNP's had initially been deployed 
in Walikale territory in the west of the province after being 
transported by boat from Kinshaha to Kisangani.  They were ordered 
down the road to Bukavu's port earlier in the month.  A former 
Kabila adviser with close ties to South Kivu politics reported the 
BNP's caused widespread panic in Bukavu when they arrived following 
the dismissal of Governor Celestin Cibalonza by the provincial 
assembly.  He said he had received numerous messages from panicked 
contacts convinced that Kabila had sent "tanks" to reinstate 
Cibalonza, who is widely viewed as a tool of Kabila and National 
Assembly President Vital Kamerhe.
