SUBJECT:    ON THE ROAD TO BETTER DRC AND UGANDA RELATIONS 
 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary:  In mid-December 2007, representatives to the 5th 
Session of the Joint Permanent Commission (JPC) between the 
governments of Uganda and the DRC met in Kampala to discuss a wide 
array of issues in their bilateral relationship.  On December 27, 
PolOff and EconOff met with Minister-Counselor Ocana Big Jackson of 
the Ugandan embassy in Kinshasa to discuss JPC results.  If the 
issues of demarcating the border and sharing oil revenues can be 
resolved amicably -- and recent developments suggest they can -- a 
corner will have been turned in Congolese-Ugandan relations.  End 
Summary. 
 
2.  (U) On December 27, PolOff and EconOff met with 
Minister-Counselor Ocana Big Jackson at the Ugandan embassy in 
Kinshasa to discuss the results of the Joint Permanent Commission 
(JPC) meeting between the governments of Uganda and the DRC in 
mid-December.  A team of experts from both sides comprising the 
Joint Border Committee is scheduled to meet in Bunia in January 2008 
to recommend a formal demarcation of the border running through Lake 
Albert.  Jackson said that this was the beginning of the process and 
it marked the first serious effort to finalize the border. 
 
3.  (U) Regarding the lack of a Tripartite Agreement between the 
DRC, Uganda, and UNHCR for the repatriation and resettlement of 
refugees, Mr. Jackson said that the Ugandans were ready to go 
forward with the negotiations and that he expected them to begin 
work in January 2008. 
 
4.  (U) A joint committee on immigration between the two countries 
is supposed to meet in Kinshasa in January 2008, composed of experts 
from the General Directorate of Immigration in the Congolese 
Ministry of Internal Affairs and from the Directorate of Citizenship 
and Immigration Control in the Ugandan Ministry of Internal Affairs. 
 They are to meet to collaborate on a mutual immigration policy. 
 
5.  (U) On the 2005 International Court of Justice USD 10 billion 
ruling in favor of the DRC, pursuant to Uganda's incursions into the 
DRC during the Congo wars, Uganda would like to meet with the GDRC 
to negotiate a settlement.  Jackson alluded to Uganda's outstanding 
claims against the DRC and said they hoped to sort out the total 
amount by negotiation. 
 
6.  (U) Uganda and the DRC are to form an Oil Sharing Committee in 
January 2008 to update an earlier draft agreement on sharing oil 
resources in the Lake Albert region.  The original agreement, dating 
back to 1990, was signed but never ratified by both countries. 
Uganda would like to use that agreement as a basis for a new 
agreement. 
 
7.  (U) Uganda and the DRC agreed at the JPC to full diplomatic 
relations with the exchange of ambassadors during the first quarter 
of 2008.  Jackson views this step as the beginning of normal 
relations.  In addition, Uganda is waiting on a reply from the GDRC 
on a request to establish a Ugandan consulate in either Beni, North 
Kivu province, or Bunia, in the Ituri territory of Orientale 
province. 
 
8.  (U) At the JPC, the two countries also agreed to the 
establishment of a Liaison Office that will be staffed by both 
countries' defense ministries and be operational in January 2008. 
Its goal will be to monitor and put an end to cross-border 
insecurity activities by negative forces. 
 
9.  (U) The Joint Committee for Verification of Demilitarization of 
the disputed Rukwanzi Island in the middle of Lake Albert is 
supposed to meet again after January 2008 to determine needs for 
local security and services.  The two countries had previously 
removed their troops and replaced them with police forces.  This 
committee will wait for the results of the Joint Border Committee 
before providing recommendations. 
 
10.  (SBU) Comment: The movement toward full diplomatic relations 
between the DRC and Uganda appears to be more than just good will at 
the highest levels and has gained significant momentum in recent 
weeks.  By establishing working level joint committees, the two 
countries are forging wider and deeper ties at several levels. 
Recent events suggest that the two most sensitive bilateral issues 
between these two countries -- demarcating a definitive border and 
sharing oil resources -- can be amicably resolved.  If true, a 
corner will have been turned in ending the distrust and hostility 
that has characterized relations between them during the 1990's and 
into the 21st century.  End Comment.
