SUBJECT: CNDP CLAIMS FDLR BEHIND ATTACK ON ITALIAN NGO AND THREATENS 
RESPONSE TO PROVOCATIONS 
 
REF:  KINSHASA 1109 
 
 
¶1.  (U) CNDP spokesman Bertrand Bisimwa mass mailed a press 
statement as an attachment to an e-mail dated December 16, 2008 with 
his organization's reaction to the December 15 attack on an Italian 
NGO vehicle in CNDP-controlled territory (reftel).  The statement 
also catalogues CNDP allegations of cooperation between FARDC, FDLR, 
PARECO and Mai Mai elements in the commission of extra judicial 
killings, rape and other acts of violence in North Kivu.  Unofficial 
embassy translation follows.  Original French is at para. 3. 
 
¶2. (U) Begin unofficial translation of CNDP press statement: 
 
Press Release from the Movement 
 
Deeply dismayed and shocked, the political leadership of the CNDP 
informs both national and international opinion that the Government 
Coalition FARDC - FDLR / PARECO - Mai-Mai continues its work of 
death and desolation among the Congolese people in the east of our 
country despite the ceasefire declared unilaterally by our Movement. 
 In recent days, in particular, it has committed bold and 
unspeakable crimes. It no longer fears exposure from the light of 
day, nor does it camouflage its crimes.  Having succeeded in 
penetrating the entities under the control of our Movement, the 
Coalition has two main objectives, namely: first, challenge the 
authority of CNDP and its pacification measures, and then cause 
frustration and fear among the population to prevent any support or 
collaboration with the CNDP.  That is why it commits acts of 
unspeakable barbarism such as bodily mutilation to affect people's 
minds.  Thus, the criminals even go as far as leaving written 
threats on the victim's remains, threats aimed not only at the CNDP 
but also at the entire population. 
 
The last crime to date has just taken place this Monday, December 
15, at 1500 in NYAHANGA, a town located on the outskirts of 
Rutshuru-Centre, between the BURAYI junction and the MUNDO GIUSTO 
concession where a vehicle of the NGO AVSI was fired at by hidden 
FDLR / Interahamwe elements. The outcome is one death in the person 
of the late Baudouin NTAMENYA and one wounded, Mr Bosco CHIZA. The 
CNDP has managed to get hold of a person who was hiding there in 
connivance with the killers. He will be heard this morning in the 
presence of MONUC, and OCHA if possible, to clarify the 
circumstances of the killing. The CNDP presents its condolences to 
the families of victims, their employer the NGO AVSI, and to the 
entire humanitarian community. 
 
For 15 days, the macabre balance sheet of the government coalition 
shows several people killed, women raped or abused, vehicles 
hijacked and looted. We give below the cases which were collected by 
us: 
 
-- 1.  Wednesday, November 26, 2008, around 1100 hours, eight family 
members of Mr. MAVALE, resident of KIWANDJA, including four women 
and four men, were atrociously massacred in the village of KITIMBO. 
They were intercepted by elements of the coalition while they were 
working in their fields. They are: 
 
-- KAVIRA MASIKI 
-- KABUO MASIKI 
-- KATUNGU GORET 
-- KANYERE Justine 
-- KAMBALE KIBAMBI 
-- Jean de Dieu 
-- Vedastus 
-- MUHINDO KIWILE 
 
Ms. Josephine KAVIRA, KAHAMBU KIBAMBI, and Jacqueline KABUO, who 
escaped after being raped, recognized, among the attackers, a 
soldier from the 15th Brigade, an element belonging to the FDLR / 
Interahamwe and some local resident men. 
 
-- 2.  On December 3, 2008 around 1900 hours, on Lueshe Avenue in 
the BUTURANDE district of the City of KIWANDJA, Mr. KASEREKA 
BUSANGYA, aged about 75 years, was cowardly assassinated in his 
home, his son KAMBALA BUSANGYA was shot in the leg, and a woman 
named HONORINE was raped. 
 
-- 3.  On 06 December 2008, the head of the town of KIRINGA, Mr 
Joseph SEGIHOBE was accused of collaborating with the CNDP and 
killed by coalition forces. 
 
-- 4.  On 12 December 12, 2008, at 1930 hours in the town of 
KIRINGA, KANTUNDWE village, a young man aged about 26 years named 
Dismas MANZEKELE was beheaded by the FDLR / Interahamwe who had come 
 
from BUTIMBO. In addition, these forces of evil threatened, in 
writing, to kill one at a time all suspected CNDP collaborators. 
 
In order to continue to sow terror and desolation, other similar 
cases are registered daily in the territory of Masisi. 
 
Accordingly, the CNDP gives notice to the government coalition and 
warns them that it will not remain inactive faced with uncivil acts 
that disturb the tranquility and peace in the entities it controls. 
In its vision of defending Congolese citizens and their property 
throughout the national territory against the forces of evil, the 
CNDP reserves the right to respond to any new violence from the 
government coalition.
