SUBJECT:    Breakthrough with Nkunda 
 
REF:        Kinshasa 0064 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary:  After a discouraging day January 22, (reftel) 
the morning of January 23 brought a breaking of the impasse with the 
CNDP.  Nkunda has ordered his delegation to return to Goma and sign 
an agreement with a few more changes in his favor.  The key was 
direct telephonic contact between Nkunda and conference leaders 
Kamerhe, Malu Malu, and Ruberwa.  End Summary. 
 
2.  (SBU) As reported reftel, the hoped-for day of closure of the 
Kivus Conference ended in huge disappointment, with the CNDP 
delegation returning to its territory to confer with their boss. 
The government side appeared to have hardened on language in the 
opening of the draft document, insisting that it could not be seen 
to be on a par with the CNDP. 
 
3.  (SBU) Tim Shortley, Senior Adviser to the Assistant Secretary 
Jendayi Frazer, reached Nkunda by telephone early on January 23 and, 
with EU Special Envoy Roeland van de Geer and SRSG Alan Doss, began 
a long parley with him (often broken by rupture of the connection). 
Nkunda insisted on five points: 
 
-- The government would have to commit to giving the agreement the 
force of law. 
 
-- The Technical Commission established to oversee disengagement, 
brassage, and DDR would need to be chaired by the government and 
co-chaired by the international community. 
 
-- The section dealing with the Commission's handling of modalities 
of brassage would have to be linked with the continued threat of 
FDLR. 
 
-- SRSG would sign for the United Nations rather than for MONUC. 
 
4.  (SBU) Van de Geer and Shortley communicated these demands to 
conference leaders Apollinaire Malu Malu and Vital Kamerhe, who were 
attending a reconvened plenary of the conference and came 
immediately to the Karibu Hotel, with Minister of State Denis Kalume 
and Azarias Ruberwa, to confer on Nkunda's changes. 
 
5.  (SBU) After a relatively brief discussion with van de Geer, 
Doss, and Shortley, and a brief private discussion among themselves, 
they agreed to compromise on every point.  Shortley got Nkunda back 
on the telephone, put Doss on with Nkunda briefly, and then put on 
first Kamerhe and then Malu Malu, both of whom spoke with Nkunda at 
some length, hammering out precise language and emphasizing that 
they needed to seize the historic moment.  Nkunda agreed on language 
for every point.  MONUC gave the signal to its force to bring the 
CNDP delegation (with Nkunda at Kimoka, an hour and a half drive 
from Goma) back to Goma to sign the accord. 
 
6.  (SBU) The agreed changes are as follows:  First, the opening 
language now specifies, "We, the CNDP, Political-Military Group, 
PARECO/FAP (and seven other named Mai Mai groups), with the solemn 
commitment, especially as concerns Article 4 (which covers political 
and judicial guarantees by the government, including amnesty for 
insurrection), of the Government and the Representatives of the 
International Community, facilitators of the present undertaking 
("acte d'enagement") -- the International Conference on the Great 
Lakes Region, the United States of America, the African Union, and 
the European Union -- ..."  This language much more directly commits 
the government to the entirety of the document, but it avoids the 
appearance of putting the government on the same level as CNDP and 
other military groups. 
 
7.  (SBU) Second, the language setting up the Technical Commission 
now reads:  "A mixed Peace and Security Technical Commission, under 
the co-chair of the Government and the international facilitation of 
this undertaking (engagement), will be legally instituted by the 
Government to examine and finalize the following issues, notably 
..." (followed by numerous sections on disengagement, brassage, and 
DDR).  This language differs from wording hammered out the previous 
day, by specifying co-chairmanship by the Government and the 
international community (without who within the international 
community), rather than merely calling for facilitation by the 
international community. 
 
8.  (SBU) Third, among the responsibilities of the Technical 
Commission was previously agreed:  "Determination of the modalities 
of brassage," to which a phrase is now added:  "taking into account 
the presence of foreign armed groups addressed by the Joint 
Communique of Nairobi of November 9, 2007."  Hereby, Nkunda signaled 
his intent to integrate his forces only to the extent that 
ex-FAR/Interahamwe/FDLR are adequately controlled.  Fourth, the 
 
KINSHASA 00000065  002 OF 002 
 
 
signature line for MONUC was changed to United Nations, with the 
concurrence of SRSG Doss. 
 
9.  (SBU) With this undertaking ("acte d'engagement") now agreed, 
and the CNDP delegation on the way back to Goma, the closing 
ceremony of the Kivus Conference and signature of this agreement are 
now scheduled for the afternoon of January 23.
