SUBJECT: GOMA SITUATION UPDATE 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary: The recent absence of the principal Congolese 
actors from Goma has resulted in lost time and inefficiencies in the 
Amani process.  The Joint Technical Commission on Peace and Security 
is now not meeting, but the International Facilitation and MONUC are 
mapping out a plan for revitalizing the disengagement plan 
development process.  Joint Monitoring Group Task Force sessions 
continue to be productive and working relationships between the 
participants appear to be developing nicely.  At the same time, the 
number of FDLR members returning to Rwanda or entering a return 
process remains low.  There has been a recent large turnover within 
the Facilitation, and overall MONUC is weaker on the facilitation 
front than in the recent past.  End summary. 
 
Goma Process Update 
------------------- 
 
2.  (SBU) The recent absence of the principal Congolese actors from 
Goma has resulted in much loss of time and inefficiencies with 
regard to the Amani process.  Father Apollinaire Malu Malu is 
currently in South Africa; Admiral Etumba is in Kinshasa; and 
Machako, head of humanitarian assistance, is out of the country. 
General Vainqueur Mayala, Commander of the 8th Military Region, 
while in Goma, appears relatively uninterested in the process. 
While the U.S. Facilitation in Goma has been told that Malu Malu, 
Etumba, and Machako should all have returned to Goma by next week, 
the recent lack of progress on the Amani program is connected to 
their absence. 
 
3.  (SBU) The Joint Technical Commission on Peace and Security 
(JTCPS) is not meeting currently, although the Military 
sub-Commission will in theory meet to move the "disengagement plan" 
forward.  The CNDP continues to boycott the sub-Commission, and FRF 
remains on strike in Kamombo.  The North and South Kivu mai-mai take 
turns failing to turn up for scheduled meetings or insisting that 
their demands (mostly related to per-diem payments and other 
benefits) be dealt with before they will participate in the actual 
work of the sub-Commission.  At the same time, for reasons that 
remain unclear, the South Kivu mai-mai engineered a meeting of the 
plenary JTCPS on July 1, which was stillborn as the Facilitation 
members who showed up outnumbered the armed groups two to one and 
thus no quorum was attained. 
 
4.  (SBU) In an effort to move the process forward, the 
International Facilitation and MONUC are mapping out a strategy for 
revitalizing the disengagement plan development process.  Although 
not completely fleshed out, the strategy will be to have the 
sub-Commission begin working again (even without CNDP participation) 
by means of moral suasion and withholding of salaries, and at the 
same time hold a parallel track with the CNDP.  The idea is to bring 
Nkunda and the CNDP to Kimoka, where substantive discussions 
regarding CNDP's vision of disengagement will take place with the 
Facilitation and Malu Malu.  Once these two processes are 
operational, the Facilitation and MONUC will determine how to merge 
them.  The Facilitation will contact Malu Malu to ensure his buy-in 
into this plan. 
 
 
Nairobi Process Update 
---------------------- 
 
5.  (SBU) Joint Monitoring Group Task Force meetings continue to be 
productive and working relationships between the participants appear 
to be developing nicely.  At the same time, the number of FDLR 
members returning to Rwanda or entering a return process remains 
low.  The large numbers of defecting/returning FDLR that were 
anticipated after the Kisangani conference have not materialized. 
However, MONUC and the World Bank are counting each repatriation as 
a signal that returns are increasing.  Rwanda's figures for actual 
combatants who have returned continue to be significantly lower than 
the figures provided by MONUC.  Part of the difference is explained 
by the more exhaustive verification performed in Rwanda that 
purportedly identifies significant numbers of non-combatants mixed 
among the returnees. 
 
Military Developments 
--------------------- 
 
6.  (SBU) There are unverified reports that the Rwenzori mai-mai are 
collaborating with the Ugandan rebels ADF/NALU in the Grand Nord, 
and that the Ugandans are reacting strongly to this claim.  There 
are likewise unconfirmed reports that Bosco Ntaganda may be on the 
move - to Walikali or to South Kivu - with a battalion-sized force. 
The Kifuafua mai-mai is reportedly taking note of this CNDP 
'advance' but has not engaged militarily.

Facilitation and MONUC Staffing 
------------------------------- 
 
7.  (SBU) There has been a recent large turnover within the 
Facilitation, and overall MONUC is less robust on the facilitation 
front than in the recent past.  Colonel Pecheux of EUSEC has 
departed Goma, while two new EUSEC officers (Dagna and Rudi) have 
recently arrived.  Bernard Sexe, representing the French Embassy, 
will arrive in Goma this week.  MONUC has strengthened its eastern 
division staff at the mid-levels with the arrival in the past two 
weeks of Philip Winter and Spiros Dimitrios, working mostly on the 
stabilization plan but picking up some of the slack on the 
facilitation side.  The position of Chief of Staff, held until 
recently by John Almstrom, has yet to be filled.  Almstrom's deputy 
- Menada Wind Andersen - has departed Goma permanently.  Alpha Sow, 
North Kivu Head of Office, continues to do double duty standing in 
for Almstrom and also continuing to run MONUC in North Kivu.
