SUBJECT:    Goma Report September 9: 
            CNDP within Reach of Kanyabayonga 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary:  A force of at least 200 CNDP on September 9 
reached Kayala, 20 km south of the strategic town of Kanyabayonga, 
and could reach that town by dawn September 10.  Meanwhile, CNDP 
withdrew from Numbi in South Kivu.  End Summary. 
 
2.  (SBU) At the end of day September 9, poloff met North Kivu 
brigade commander, Brigadier General Bipin Rawat, and MONUC Deputy 
Chief of Staff for eastern Congo, Colonel James Cunliffe, for an 
assessment of the day's military developments.  Rawat said that a 
force of at least 200 CNDP had reached Kayala, halfway between 
Nyanzale and Kanyabayonga.  Another force of 50 CNDP had made a 
probe at Kikuku, northwest of Nyanzale, where the North Kivu brigade 
had fired upon CNDP the previous day, but again withdrew when North 
Kivu brigade again made clear it would use force to prevent the 
occupation of that town (Kikuku sits on a strategic ridge on the 
road connecting Nyanzale to either Kanyabayonga or Rwindi). 
 
3.  (SBU) There were persistent reports from NGO's in the course of 
the day that CNDP had also occupied Kibirizi, on the eastern road 
connecting Nyanzale to Rwindi.  There appear to be significant 
movements of civilians from the area of Kibirizi to the main 
north-south highway at Rwindi.  However, Rawat had no confirmation 
of Kibirizi's occupation by CNDP.  There are reports also of 
significant movement of civilians from areas north and east of 
Nyanzale toward Nyanzale, where North Kivu brigade is holding firm. 
 
4.  (SBU) Rawat's and Cunliffe's assessment was that CNDP was almost 
certainly aiming to reach Kanyabayonga, and would be able to do so 
by September 10, moving through the bush by foot overnight. 
Kanyabayonga, located on the main north-south highway just at the 
point where it reaches the escarpment edge dividing the Congo and 
Nile watersheds, is not only the most strategic position on that 
highway, but also carries fraught connotations in the minds of many 
Congolese as a place of great violence during the wars in the 
1990's.  Rawat said that the North Kivu brigade would use force if 
necessary in holding Kanyabayonga, having reinforced its base there. 
 He said that one complicating factor was that FARDC, which was in 
total disarray in the area, was nevertheless sending 250 elements 
back to Kanyabayonga, and these elements along with civilian 
officials were stirring up the populace against MONUC, which could 
present problems in North Kivu brigade's efforts to protect the 
town.  Hostile crowds had already impeded a logistical convoy moving 
near Bambu and a small reconnaissance helicopter was hit by fire. 
 
5.  (SBU) Meanwhile, by opening of day September 9 CNDP had 
withdrawn a few kilometers north from the village of Numbi, just 
across the provincial border in South Kivu, which it had occupied 
September 8, and FARDC has reoccupied it with a small force.  North 
Kivu brigade heard persistent exchange of fire in the Rutshuru 
corridor, both in the area of Ntamugenga (east of Kalengera) and 
east of Rumangabo.  North Kivu brigade was again stopped by 
stone-throwing crowds from getting to Ntamugenga.  General Rawat 
gave a press briefing in Goma in which he attempted to clarify 
MONUC's military role of supporting the government but also 
remaining neutral in the conflict in support of the Goma process to 
which all parties adhered.  Force Commander General Gaye arrives 
Goma September 10 for two days, joining Minister of Defense Chikez 
and Chief of Army Staff Kayembe who have remained in Goma.  They 
have overseen a change in command structure in FARDC, with General 
Lukama assuming command over FARDC forces in both North and South 
Kivu, with General Mayala (head of 8th military region) as his 
deputy.  FARDC is establishing three sectors in the Petit Nord, with 
the infamous Col. Delphin heading the Rutshuru sector, Col Kahaha. 
in Masisi, and Col. Kinkela taking charge of Kanyabayonga (and 
points south to Nyanzale).
