SUBJECT:    Goma Report September 29:  At meeting with 
            MONUC, CNDP says it will not withdraw further 
            until FARDC honors cease-fire 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary:  Facilitation members joined a MONUC-CNDP meeting 
near Bunagana September 29, in which CNDP refused to consider any 
further withdrawals from proposed zones of separation until FARDC 
ceases all military action and withdraws to pre-August 28 positions. 
 End Summary. 
 
2.  (SBU) On September 29, there was no exchange of fire or major 
move of forces in any sector in the Petit Nord.  Even at Rugari, 
where FARDC amassed five tanks and other heavy weaponry along the 
Rutshuru highway, FARDC held its fire, at the direct urging of North 
Kivu brigade.  (Note:  On September 28, FARDC had pounded CNDP's 
positions in the heights above Rugari, and even briefly occupied 
Himbi Heights, from which CNDP had withdrawn.  End note.)  FARDC 
continues to occupy Tongo and apparently reoccupied Kabizo (north of 
Tongo) on September 28.  North Kivu brigade operations chief gave 
his view September 29 to facilitation members that FARDC appears to 
be holding its ground better and moving with greater confidence now 
than in the past. 
 
3.  (SBU) CNDP's commander of the Bunagana (eastern) sector Col. 
Makenga on September 28 requested a meeting with North Kivu brigade 
and the international facilitation at Chengerero (MONUC base near 
Bunagana) on September 29.  Deputy Commander Col. Negi led the 
delegation.  In the event, Makenga did not appear.  He was 
represented by Maj. Bagabo Castro and CNDP political officer 
Benjamin Bonimpa.  They said that Makenga could not attend because 
he was preoccupied with the previous day's FARDC artillery barrages 
at Rugari and was not able to leave in time to join the meeting. 
 
4.  (SBU) Negi laid out MONUC's concept of a preferred zone of 
separation in the Rutshuru corridor.  This plan, he said, would 
include a further withdrawal of CNDP in three areas, east of Rugari, 
east of Kanombe, and down the Bunagana road past Matebe.  Negi 
emphasized that FARDC had now withdrawn from Mutabo back to its 
pre-August 28 position near Rutshuru and had withdrawn from 
Ntamugenga, although not yet as far west there as MONUC would like. 
He said MONUC would continue to press FARDC to withdraw from 
Kisherero and from an area south of Rugari.  He said that a minimum 
three-kilometer separation was essential to ensure peace and, 
strategically, "one hill here or there should not be important to 
the CNDP." 
 
5.  (SBU) Castro said that CNDP had resumed all its pre-August 28 
positions and was observing the ceasefire in every sector.  It would 
not consider further withdrawals, to create bigger buffer zones, 
until FARDC observed the ceasefire in all sectors and similarly 
withdrew to pre-August 28 positions.  He objected to MONUC's plan of 
a sequential withdrawal process, with the eastern zone of separation 
created first, then south, west, and north.  He noted that FARDC, in 
partially withdrawing its force from Ntamugenga, had simply moved 
that force west to occupy Tongo, which was also CNDP territory.  It 
was false, he said, to paint Rugari as a flashpoint, since FARDC had 
simply used Rugari as an excuse to begin a bombardment, without any 
attack there from CNDP. 
 
6.  (SBU) MONUC was, Castro continued, pursuing a false neutrality 
which was lenient on FARDC but negative to CNDP, not stopping FARDC 
attacks but attacking CNDP when CNDP hit the FARDC.  CNDP did not 
trust FARDC's withdrawal from Ntamugenga, which in fact CNDP had 
considered to be its area prior to August 28.  (Note:  North Kivu 
brigade now tells us that CNDP had continued to send patrols there, 
even while its permanent presence, as now, was in the heights 
overlooking Ntamugenga.  End note.)  Castro said that CNDP feared 
that Ntamugenga would soon become another Kimoka.  (Note:  CNDP 
allowed Kimoka to be occupied by MONUC as a neutral zone, but in 
FARDC's recent barrage, FARDC parked its artillery around Kimoka. 
CNDP sees this as MONUC complicity with FARDC, even though MONUC has 
repeatedly admonished FARDC to keep away from its bases while 
conducting operations.  End note.) 
 
7.  (SBU) Bonimpa said that it was essential that CNDP and FARDC 
meet at a high level.  Facilitation members noted that FARDC Kivus 
commander General Lukama had offered to meet CNDP at Kimoka, with no 
positive response from CNDP.  Bonimpa dismissed Lukama as too low in 
stature and lacking in power.  In fact, while insisting on a 
high-level bilateral meeting, Bonimpa could not produce a single 
FARDC or government interlocutor that would be satisfactory to the 
CNDP. 
 
8.  (SBU) Other issues raised by CNDP included what it considered 
targeted arrests of Tutsis in Rutshuru and Goma, FARDC collaboration 
with FDLR and PARECO, and FARDC's indiscriminate use of its 
multi-barreled rocket launchers that were causing high civilian 
casualties.
