BENI TÉRITOIRE CITY AND REPEATED ATTACKS TARGET THE PRESUMED ADF-NALU ASSASINS OF: OF APPROXIMATELY 1:30 TO TODAY MORNING A PARK NEAR MAYANGOSE VIRUNGA MAKES AN ASSESSMENT OF PROVISOIR 3 FARMERS KILLED A SIDE OF SEVERAL HOUSES IN FLAMES UNDER OUR SOURCE ON SITE.THIS SINCE YESTERDAY AFTERNOON December 25, ONE MOVEMENT IN THE DISTRICT SUMMER REPORT BEL AIRE, MUNZAMBAYI AND OTHER AREA OF THE COMMON Ruwenzori.The REASSURES ARMED TO THE POPULATION IS NOT PANIC AND THAT THE SITUATION UNDER CONTROL DESORMAIN.FOLLOWING THIS SITUATION, THE DISTRICT MUNZAMBAYI, BEL AIRE ... HAVE THEIR HOME TO COME EMPTIED PAST NIGHT IN SECURE AREA.This attack bears the signature of the ADF-Nalu, one of the most secret rebel groups and the most feared in the DRC.For years, the ADF-Nalu terrorize tens of thousands of civilians in the Beni region in North Kivu.Insecurity in Beni: Adf-Nalu in the footsteps of Boko Haram?With their leader, Jamil Mukulu, a Christian convert to Islam, the ADF-Nalu ceased to be a Congolese-Ugandan problem taking on a regional dimension as part of the radical Islamist in Africa East.However, on the one hand, there are still many gray areas on the links between the ADF-Nalu and radical Islamist organizations in the region and, secondly, Islamism of the armed group seems superficial.And made the genesis of the movement, the report notes that in September 1995, in Beni in the Congolese province of North Kivu, Yusuf Kabanda, a leader of the Ugandan Muslim opposition army sealed with Ali Ngaimoko commander of the National Army for the Liberation of Uganda (NALU) an alliance called the National Democratic Allied Army-Forces for the Liberation of Uganda (ADF-NALU).Concluded out of Uganda with the help of Sudanese and Congolese secret services, this alliance brings together two movements defeated by the regular army called People's Defence Force of Uganda (UPDF).Without prior operational or ideological links, these movements have in common is opposed to the Ugandan regime, to be at the same time on Congolese soil and be close, independently of each other, enemies of Kampala.Eastern DRC: UN warns that the fight against the Ugandan rebels will be long. "The warning, she points out, comes from the United Nations.Special Representative of the UN Secretary General and head of MONUSCO, Martin Kobler actually believes that "We can not win this fight quickly (...) They are terrorists, they are criminals, is an asymmetrical combat, which is very, very difficult to manage. "He says during the weekly press conference of his organization, Wednesday, December 10, 2014. However, with the ingredients of the tumultuous history of the DRC since 1960, is at stake in Beni deserves to be perceived differently ... kidnap women, young people, sometimes entire families provided they will be found in the fields at the wrong time, it is indeed the hallmark of ADF-NALU, a Ugandan rebel cause remains low known.The practice became frantic."The abductions have increased from 24 to 382 in 2010-2013," said Teddy Kataliko, president of civil society in Beni.660 kidnappings in three years in all, in three years, the rebels abducted 660 people.Forced recruitment of combatants to train or work in the fields.According to John (pseudonym), abducted at the age of 19 and who spent six years with the ADF-Nalu, the movement radicalized because it feels threatened."Before, the army and the ADF lived together very well.Since the government launched operations against the ADF in 2010, they became aggressive.They know that there is cooperation between the Ugandan and Congolese army to launch an offensive.That's why they are more evil with the people, he says.The ADF-Nalu prohibit civilians to go in the fields, because there may be military themselves into civilians to try to catch them.So when they see someone in the field, they kidnap rather than take the risk that either a military or someone who could reveal their positions, he explains further.For a month, and after the victory on the M23, the Congolese army announced an imminent offensive against the ADF-Nalu.But Oïcha in the heart of the territory of the rebellion, the offensive is long overdue.Over the past year, despite the presence of the army and peacekeepers, security has only deteriorated.We need the state to end once and for all with these rebels, so that we can return to our fields.Because this is our business!Otherwise, how are we going to eat? Launches an inhabitant.Beni territory is undergoing a test as ever.
DR Congo - Killings of Beni: One year after ... duty of memory
It debuted a year ago the massacres of Beni in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.Without a harbinger, a haven of peace, Beni, turned, overnight, into squalid slaughterhouse.The death squads speaking, mostly in Kinyarwanda arise thickets and begin to kill women, children, old men ... for no apparent reason.The victims agonize and die in atrocious conditions.The killers used machetes, axes, pestles, hoe sockets, hammers, knives.Crime scenes deliver an unbearable sight, but that is not what is worse.The worst is that each time the attackers leave without the army and peacekeepers, yet positioned not far away, are not able to capture one.
Some massacres last for hours.There are up to three killings a week.In their statement of 23 May 2015, the Bishops of Kivu, gathered in the nearby town of Butembo, speak of "genocide."
Who are the murderers?
Faced with the vagueness about the identity of the killers, a petition was launched on the web claiming an international criminal investigation.For the Kinshasa government, the killings are the work of Ugandan Islamist ADF rebels, a version that does not convince.These rebels were defeated militarily in April 2014. Their leader, Jamil Mukulu fled the region to settle in Tanzania.The massacres began six months after the escape of the leaders of the Islamist movement.Initial information collected from the population are survivors and the killers have nothing in common with the ADF, an armed group known as the local population since 1995 and never delivered to such killings.In his article of 21 October, the Belgian journalist Colette Braeckmandoute that "these atrocities are actually the work of the ADF" [1].For the former foreign minister, Mbusa Nyamwisi, from Beni, brain massacres is nothing but the general Mundos, a DeJoseph Kabilaqu'il accused of being close to both the commander of the army units on site and the commander of death squads who commit massacres. [2] "People will talk," he said, appealing for an international criminal investigation.
Over time, suspicions will increasingly weigh on some units of the army in collusion with the attackers who infiltrated Congolese territory from the border areas of Uganda and neighboring Rwanda, which are folded to the elements of the M23, a Tutsi militia sponsored by the governments of both countries. [3]But it is not always advanced as a credible criminal investigations are not carried out and that action will be taken against the killers, their accomplices and sponsors.
For an international criminal investigation
To prevent these atrocities from joining the stack thousands more remained unpunished, voices continue to speak out to demand an international criminal investigation.The organization launched a DESC pétitionappuyée two videos [4] illustrating part atrocities.For its part, in its December 2014 report of the American NGO Human Rights Watch also called for the initiation of an international criminal investigation.In December 2014, a forum organized by civil society in North Kivu was closed on a set of recommendations calling including the initiation of an international criminal investigation.Calls that are received by the Kinshasa government that mature in silence, probably to avoid embarrassing highly placed personalities who are behind the killings.
In fact in his press briefing of 24 November 2014, the Communication Minister Lambert Mende said the murderers enjoyed the complicity of personalities "at all levels of institutions" [5] of the country.He was never heard by the court to collect a list of these personalities and the information available to it on the level of their involvement in the crimes.In any case, at the same time, several local personalities, businessmen and members of opposition parties were arrested and transferred to secret prisons in Kinshasa [6], before being released.The massacres were continuing which means that the authorities had not sought in the right direction.Diversionary maneuver or unintentional error?
Anyway, it will one day shed light on this terrible case.This implies the duty of memory.Never forget these victims, for it is by dint of forgetting the victims as those of Beni, the toll of the tragedy of the Congo is now at a staggering six million deaths.In the silence of the "international community".
