SUBJECT: BRAZZAVILLE IN BRIEF - MARCH 12, 2009 
 
BUYING GUNS IN THE POOL 
 
1.  In an operation running through March 2, the Congolese 
government bought a total of over 2,500 firearms, 66,000 rounds 
of small arms ammunition, and several hundred grenades, rockets, 
and artillery shells  from the Pool area.  The operation was 
financed with a 500 million CFA Congo government budget 
allocation and was carried out by a special committee set up in 
the peace accords of 2003.  The government opened seventeen 
centers for the purchase of arms, paying as much as 100,000 FCA 
(around $200) for each AK-47 (known locally as "PMAK"). 
According to the press, the National Council of Republicans 
(CNR) political party, headed by Frederic Bintsamou (Pasteur 
Ntoumi), and the "Ninjas," the last militia remaining from the 
civil wars of 1998-2003, cooperated in encouraging Ninja 
militants to participate in the buyback.  This program is linked 
to the National Program of Demobilization, Disarmament, and 
Reintegration (PNDDR), which has through 2008 been funded by the 
World Bank and the EU.  However, due to delays in 
implementation, the funding from both sources is lapsing this 
year, just as the hardest nut (the Pool) has begun to crack. 
Thus funding is sorely needed to subsidize the continuing exit 
of Pool combatants "from the bush," a flow that is particularly 
urgent in light of the impending Presidential election in July 
of this year.  The head of the program and colleagues are 
traveling in an effort to raise urgent, fast disbursing funding 
from external donors.  They are in Washington this week for a 
meeting of the World Bank multilateral disarmament and 
reintegration program and will be visiting Belgium, Germany, and 
France in the coming weeks. 
 
MINISTERS MEET ON GULF OF GUINEA SECURITY 
 
2.  During the last week of February, Brazzaville hosted a 
Council of Ministers meeting of the Peace and security Council 
of Central Africa (COPAX).  According to the communiqui issued 
after the meeting, the ministers urged their colleagues to 
implement fully the program to eliminate light/small caliber 
weapons.  Agreeing with a working group recommendation, they 
urged rapid action to set up the regional logistics center at 
Douala, approved the recommendations of the planning work for 
exercise "KWANZA 2010" to be held in Angola in 2010, stating an 
expectation that the African Union could certify the Central 
African brigade of the African standby force during the 
exercise.  The press reported that the meeting was attended by 
Angola, Cameroon, Congo(B), Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, DRC, 
Central African Republic, Sao Tome and Principe, and Chad, as 
well as the secretary general of CEEAC, Louis Sylvain Goma. 
 
ITALY FORGIVES DEBT 
 
3.  The Italian Ambassador and the Congolese Minister of finance 
and budget signed a Paris Club debt forgiveness agreement on 
March 7.  The accord forgives all of Congo's official debt to 
Italy, in the amount of 36 billion FCA (around $70 million). 
 
~AND CHINA LOANS MORE 
 
4.  On the same day, March 7, Congo(B) President Denis Sassou 
Nguesso laid the first stone of a new water treatment plant at 
Ndjiri north of Brazzaville.  The plant is intended to treat and 
pump water for the city of Brazzaville.  It will cost 130.5 
billion FCA ($250 million), and is being financed by a Chinese 
government loan, under the overall Chinese credit program.  The 
construction contract is in the hands of China National 
Machinery and Equipment Import.  Terms of the loan were not 
announced.
