SUBJECT: CNDP "suspends" participation in Goma process after leak of 
MONUC report on January killings 
 
Ref:  Kinshasa 186 
 
1. (SBU)  Summary.  CNDP announced "suspension" of its participation 
in the Goma peace process and of "all collaboration" with MONUC 
following leak of a internal MONUC/UNHRO report alleging CNDP 
responsibility for a January 2007 mass killing in Kalonge, North 
Kivu.  MONUC speculates CNDP is using the report as a pretext to 
gain time for internal negotiations.  MONUC stands behind the 
report, and is working with other international facilitators to get 
the process back on track.  End Summary. 
 
-------------------------------------- 
UN report blames CNDP for mass killing 
-------------------------------------- 
 
2. (SBU) In late January, a UN field mission investigated and 
confirmed the mass killing of at least 21, and perhaps as many as 
50, civilians January 16-17 in Kalonge, 15 km northeast of Masisi 
town in North Kivu.  An internal report by MONUC's human rights 
division, which also functions as the UNHRO office in Congo, 
concluded that they were killed by CNDP soldiers using shotguns, 
machetes and hammers.  The majority of the victims were men, but 
also included a one-year old baby, a 14-year old boy and one woman 
(whom investigators concluded had probably been hit by a stray 
bullet). 
 
3. (SBU) According to the report, the area around Kalonge had been 
controlled by CNDP since October 2007, when its largely-Hutu 
residents fled to villages under the control of PARECO militia. 
They had returned several weeks before the massacre after the 
withdrawal of CNDP troops.  However, CNDP forces returned, and 
established checkpoints outside villages near Kalonge and Lubale. 
The report concludes that CNDP forces arrested, beat and killed 
civilians over a two-day period with gunshots, machetes or hammer 
blows to the head.  Others who tried to flee were hunted down and 
killed. 
 
4. (SBU) The UNHRO team interviewed 20 eyewitnesses, but were unable 
to visit neighboring villages to talk to others because of the 
security situation.  Interviews suggested that the killings "were 
planned and that civilians were targeted."  One witness said that 
solders told her husband, "You are PARECO, you live with PARECO.  We 
are the CNDP and we are going to kill you." 
 
------------------------------------ 
MONUC scrambles, and the CNDP reacts 
------------------------------------ 
 
5. (SBU) The report was leaked by an unknown source, presumably 
within MONUC, and press reports began appearing February 19.  A 
prepared statement read by MONUC spokesman Kemal Saiki at MONUC's 
weekly press conference the next day in Kinshasa included reference 
to the Kalonge incident under the heading "MONUC reaction to the 
human rights situation in North Kivu."  The statement laid 
responsibility for the incident to the "forces of dissident General 
Laurent Nkunda," but it was bracketed, and in fact followed, the 
description of an atrocity allegedly committed by the FARDC 2nd 
Integrated Brigade.  This attempt to appear impartial was apparently 
lost on CNDP. 
 
6. (SBU) A statement dated February 21 and signed by Nkunda was 
posted on the CNDP website the following day.  It criticized MONUC, 
Saiki, and Goma Head of Office Alpha Sow, questioned MONUC's 
impartiality and called for an independent investigation of the 
Kalonge incident.  It announced suspension of "all collaboration 
with MONUC," although not "other members of the International 
Facilitation."  It accused MONUC of acting in bad faith and claimed 
MONUC "has tried everything to harm the CNDP."  It also raised the 
earlier Kamina brassage-center incident (reftel), calling it 
"extremely embarrassing for MONUC" because it called into question 
the DDR process. 
 
------------ 
MONUC reacts 
------------ 
 
7. (SBU) MONUC officials speculate that CNDP is using the incidents 
at Kalonge and Kamina to generate time for "internal CNDP 
negotiations."  Its press office issued a stand-alone statement 
February 21 which reaffirmed that MONUC stood by the report.  It 
expressed MONUC's confidence that an independent investigation would 
come to the same conclusions, and promised to cooperate with any 
such investigation.  MONUC officials will not say so publicly, but 
told us privately they would welcome an investigation.

International facilitators are working with MONUC to get the process 
back on track. 
 
8. (SBU) Note:  While CNDP was publicly lambasting MONUC, they 
privately asked for logistical support -- air transportation -- to 
move 25 political cadres from the eastern border to Kitchanga for 
internal consultations.  End note.

Comment 
------- 
 
9. (SBU) In a separate conversation February 22, Anneke van 
Woudenberg of Human Rights Watch, who had also reviewed the leaked 
report, told us it was actually in draft form and had not been 
through the usual editing and clearance processes.  She said it is 
clear from the text that 20-30 people were killed:  what is not is 
whether this was something ordered by the CNDP hierarchy (and if so 
at what level) or more of a settling of scores.  End comment.
