SUBJECT:   EASTERN DRC NOTES - NOVEMBER 24 
 
1.  (U) The items contained in this report consist principally of 
spot information from various sources.  This report is not 
exhaustive, nor can all the information contained therein be 
confirmed at this time. 
 
2.  (SBU) Summary: CNDP rebel leader Laurent Nkunda presented new 
local administrators at a November 22 rally in Rutshuru.  In his 
address, Nkunda stressed that "we are all Congolese," criticizing 
the UNSC's decision to authorize additional forces for MONUC.  A 
CNDP intermediary contacted Embassy Kampala complaining that the 
French International Red Cross was misusing humanitarian corridors. 
The level of armed banditry and reprisals is on the rise in the 
region.  Some IDPs from Kibati 1 camp have apparently opted to 
return to their villages, rather than to be transferred to the 
Mugunga 3 camp.  End summary. 
 
Security Situation 
------------------ 
 
3.  (SBU) UNDSS reported that there has been an increase in 
banditry, criminal violence, and reprisals against perpetrators.  On 
November 20, for the second consecutive night, a civilian mob in 
Goma killed an armed bandit. 
 
Political Developments 
---------------------- 
 
4.  (SBU) On November 22, CNDP rebel leader Nkunda gave a 45-minute 
speech in Rutshuru to a crowd of approximately 2,000, some of whom 
were apparently forced to attend.  Nkunda presented 10 new local 
administrators, noting that it was necessary to appoint them, 
because the former administrators had fled.  Nkunda emphasized that 
the new administrators were all well known to the community, not 
Rwandans, as many had expected.  Nkunda, who switched between 
French, Kiswahili, Kinyarwandan, and Kinande during the speech, 
proclaimed that "we are all Congolese" and that MONUC was 
unnecessary, if Congolese worked together.  Nkunda criticized the 
recent UNSC decision to authorize additional MONUC troops for the 
DRC. 
 
5.  (SBU) In a well-scripted event, CNDP officials presented a Mai 
Mai child soldier, then asked for someone from his home village to 
take him home, because "the CNDP does not fight children."  When the 
official asked for someone from the boy's village to bring him home, 
a man appeared to retrieve the boy from the stage.  Two FARDC 
soldiers were also presented, one of them declaring that they had 
been well treated by the CNDP.  Approximately 20 local police were 
on hand, who, according to a local resident, were the same police as 
before, but are now working for the CNDP.  Nkunda's security detail, 
according to TDY RSO, appeared professional and competent.  Some two 
dozen press, almost exclusively international, attended. 
 
6.  (SBU) A CNDP intermediary contacted Embassy Kampala to express 
concerns about French misuse of humanitarian corridors.  The 
intermediary claimed that 60 trucks from the French International 
Red Cross were using the corridors, but not transporting 
humanitarian supplies.  According to the intermediary, the French 
are trying to encourage deployment of Angolan troops with the aim of 
attacking the CNDP, not the FDLR.  The intermediary also asked for a 
U.S. verification team to monitor the corridors, as well as to carry 
out general monitoring. 
 
Humanitarian Situation 
---------------------- 
 
7.  (SBU) The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs 
(OCHA) reported that some IDPs have departed the Kibati camps to 
return to Kibumba, Rugari, and Rumangabo, rather than go to Mugunga 
3 camp, as planned.  According to some humanitarian agencies, many 
IDPs believe Mugunga 3 is too far away from their fields and home 
villages.  Radio Okapi confirmed that many residents have returned 
to the villages of Kibumba, Rugari, and Rubare. 
 
8.  (SBU) The last of nine trucks transporting non-food items 
arrived in Goma on November 22.  USAID/DART's Program Officer 
escorted the trucks to UNICEF's warehouse and consigned the cargo to 
UNICEF for distribution to IDPs. 
 
9.  (SBU) A SADC delegation visited the Kibati IDP camp on November 
24.  The delegation, composed of Angolan, Zambian, Swazi, and 
Tanzanian officials, is in North Kivu to assess the humanitarian 
situation.
