1.  Reftels are reports on prior meetings of the JMG-TF. 
 
2.  Following are highlights of the Task Force Meeting of the Joint 
Monitoring Group held in Goma on January 4, 2008. 
Goma Report January 11, 2008:  Task Force of the Joint Monitoring 
Group 
 
3.  Summary:  At the meeting of the Task Force of the Joint 
Monitoring Group January 11, GDRC continued to ask Rwanda to provide 
its list of genocidaires, and Rwanda --mercifully -- tried to 
explain the difficulties in finalizing the list.  MONUC's DDRRR 
chief urged GDRC to be content with the existing Most Wanted list. 
GDRC noted the ongoing Kivu Conference's focus on dealing with 
ex-FAR/Interahamwe.  The Rwandans were meticulous about the previous 
meeting's minutes.  End Summary. 
 
4.  The fourth meeting of the Task Force of the Joint Monitoring 
Group took place in Goma January 11, with the same Congolese and 
Rwandan participation as in the previous meeting, Col. Augustin 
Mamba chairing the two-person Congolese delegation and Major Franco 
Rutagengwa chairing the four-person Rwandan delegation. 
 
5.  Mamba said that the on-going Kivus Conference was a major 
chapter in the sensitization phase of the FDLR plan, presented to 
Rwanda December 1, to disarm the ex-FAR/Interahamwe.  The conference 
was concentrating on making the local population aware of the urgent 
need for these Rwandans to disarm and leave the Kivus, and as from 
January 14 DRC officials and leaders of the conference would be 
meeting ex-FAR/Interahamwe to stress that their time in DRC was 
coming to an end.   It would be helpful to the DRC, he said, if 
Rwanda would provide the list of genocidaires, as called for in the 
Nairobi communique.  Mamba said that the DRC agreed with Rwanda that 
dealing with the ex-FAR/Interahamwe was the major objective of the 
Nairobi communique, but DRC needed to cope with internal armed 
groups as well as a core "sub-objective." 
 
6.  Rutagengwa said that Rwanda had fulfilled, or was in the process 
of fulfilling, its four obligations stipulated under the Nairobi 
communique.  Its short border with DRC was completely sealed.  It 
was providing no support whatever to any armed group inside DRC.  It 
was encouraging ex-FAR/Interahamwe to return home, having put in 
place a full range of mechanisms for safe return:  assistance with 
food, tools, and building materials, health care, education, and 
security.  As for the list of genocidaires, it would come soon. 
Rwanda wanted to provide a definitive list and was consulting with 
its "gachacha" courts.  Rwanda interpreted paragraph 9 of the 
Nairobi communique (DRC's commitments) to mean that the list of 
genocidaires did not need to be made available before the DRC had 
relocated ex-FAR/Interahamwe elements to temporary reception 
centers.  DRC did not need the list to get on with its sensitization 
campaign. 
 
7.  Mamba agreed that the list was not an essential requirement for 
commencing the sensitization campaign -- indeed, this campaign was 
well under way in the Kivus conference -- but having the list would 
help DRC in this campaign.  Mamba did not explain why it would help. 
 MONUC's chief of DDRRR, Phil Lancaster (present at the meeting), 
noted that DRC already had Rwanda's provisional list of Most Wanted 
genocidaires with 72 names (Lancaster later corrected the number to 
114).  He urged DRC to use that list in its sensitization campaign, 
as it would help show the populace and ex-FAR/Interahamwe elements 
that some of the FDLR leadership had a personal stake in "holding 
them hostage," and they might therefore be more amenable to return. 
However, Mamba said that perhaps "only five or ten" of the FDLR 
leaders were on the list. 
 
8.  In an aside, one of the Rwandan delegates told poloff that the 
complete genocidaire list, whenever it was completed, would likely 
be "very long," on the order of "tens of thousands."  Privately, 
Lancaster told poloff that when he discussed the Most Wanted list 
with Mamba after the Task Force meeting, Mamba appeared never to 
have seen it.  Lancaster also commented to poloff that it appeared 
to be in the interest of neither party to have a list published, 
since a long list would make the task of bringing about the peaceful 
return of ex-FAR/Interahame much more difficult. 
 
9.  The parties had no new recommendations for the Joint Monitoring 
Group.  They repeated the need to for the upcoming Envoys Level 
meeting to clarify the relationship between the Task Force and Joint 
Verification Commission, and repeated the recommendation that the 
Envoys urge the Security Council to adopt sanctions against the 
ex-FAR/Interahamwe.  The last JMG agreed that there would be a 
serious discussion on the resources that are necessary to implement 
 
KINSHASA 00000036  002 OF 002 
 
 
the Nairobi Communique.  The EU observer to the Task Force suggested 
that the Task Force might propose that new allegations be put on the 
table at Task Force meetings but sent to the Joint Verification 
Commission for investigation, then brought back to the Task Force; 
alternatively, he suggested there could be some joint Task Force/JVC 
meetings exclusively reserved to dealing with such allegations.  The 
Rwandan delegation objected to these suggestions, observing that the 
envoys had not yet decided the fundamental issue of whether 
allegations should be brought to the Task Force at all. 
 
10.  Half the meeting was addressed to caviling over the minutes of 
the previous Task Force meeting, in particular the characterization 
of the discussion therein of whether DRC should give priority to 
combating ex-FAR/Interahamwe or Nkunda.  The MONUC chairman of the 
Task Force, Acting Head of Office Gernot Sauer, wanted the minutes 
to reflect something he had said himself during the meeting.  The 
offending sentence read: "MONUC referred to the statement of Rwandan 
Envoy Dr. Sezibera during the 16 December JMG-Envoy Level meeting in 
Goma where he declared that it was DRC's sovereign right to decide 
for herself what to do next militarily."  The Rwandan delegation 
objected to this sentence, as giving the impression that Sezibera 
had not been clear that the priority of the Nairobi communique was 
ex-FAR/Interahamwe.  Sauer asked whether the parties disagreed that 
Sezibera had said what he quoted him as saying and whether it was 
not appropriate for the minutes to reflect that he, Sauer, had 
quoted Sezibera.  After considerable discussion, the Task Force 
agreed to keep the sentence but add a phrase to the sentence, that 
Sezibera had stressed that "priority should be given to 
ex-FAR/Interahamwe." 
 
11.  At the conclusion of the meeting, Sauer suggested that the 
parties might in the future consider being less legalistic, as 
discussion of the minutes was taking an inordinate amount of time, 
even if the present meeting (five hours) was shorter than previous 
meetings (eight hours).
