SUBJECT:    Goma Report for September 24:  More FARDC 
            Attacks to north, east; Goma remains calm 
 
REF:        Kinshasa 799 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary:  FARDC attacked CNDP on a new front September 24, 
adding to its ceasefire violations over the past week.  North Kivu 
brigade commander feels duped by FARDC.  The city of Goma remained 
quiet throughout the day. 
End Summary. 
 
2.  (SBU) Despite another reaffirmation by the government of its 
adherence to the ceasefire and disengagement plan,  this time at the 
Amani steering committee meeting in Bukavu (reftel), the FARDC 
continued September 24 to violate the ceasefire.  CNDP appears to 
have pushed back FARDC at Kashuga, in the northwest extremity of 
CNDP terrain.  But FARDC has attacked CNDP along several other 
points in the northern area, capturing Buranda, between Bambu and 
Tongo (one area where there had been no significant fighting over 
the past month).  FARDC also unleashed a prolonged artillery barrage 
against CNDP at two points in the eastern (Rutshuru) corridor, in 
the Rugari area and to the east of Rumangabo.  According to certain 
reports, CNDP retook Kanombe (east of Rumangabo), but North Kivu 
brigade has not yet attributed a ceasefire violation to CNDP there. 
 
3.  (SBU) North Kivu commander Brigadier General Rawat told poloff 
midday September 24 that he had been watching a build up of FARDC 
forces in the Katsiru (northern) area for some days.  He said that, 
in the early morning September 24, FARDC attacked at several points 
east of Katsiru and captured Buranda.  A local FARDC commander there 
said he would fire on North Kivu brigade if it attempted to 
intervene.  Exchange of fire persisted there through the day, as 
well as in the Rugari and Kanombe areas.  Rawat said that these 
events dimmed the prospects that FARDC would abide by its commitment 
to the disengagement plan, specifically, its undertaking to withdraw 
from Ntamugenga, Mutabo, and Kisherero tomorrow, September 25 (D-Day 
plus seven). 
 
4.  (SBU) Repeated FARDC ceasefire violations had, Rawat said, 
discredited MONUC as a "neutral party in partnership with the 
government," such that North Kivu brigade was beginning to find it 
difficult to maintain any contact with CNDP commanders on the 
ground.  FARDC, he said, had requested MONUC's assistance, for 
example in using its attack helicopters, but Rawat said for the time 
being it was "best to leave things alone and let each side jostle 
each other without our intervention."  Rawat judged that Kivus 
commander General Lukama, with whom he has had daily contact, was 
being by-passed by colonels under his command (either acting on 
their own or by command from Kinshasa, or both). 
 
5.  (U) The city of Goma, scene of civil disturbances in recent 
days, returned to calm September 23, with no further strife reported 
September 24. 
 
6.  (SBU) Comment:  It is conceivable that FARDC's brief occupation 
of Kashuga was a feint to draw CNDP's attention away from its real 
aim of pressing an attack east of Katsiru.  CNDP will presumably 
counterattack at Buranda.  The FARDC's objective in taking Buranda 
-- the one theater that had seen no major recent military activity 
-- is unclear, nor is it evident whether this attack, or any recent 
attacks, were a concerted strategy (apparently by-passing Lukama) 
versus opportunistic actions taken by local commanders.  But they 
have hugely undermined the government's embrace of the disengagement 
plan.  End comment.
