Obama Tells
Kagame to Stop Support for M23 Rebels in Eastern Congo
Congo News Agency - December 19, 2012
U.S. President Barack Obama told Rwandan President Paul
Kagame on Tuesday to stop all support for the M23 rebels wreaking havoc in
eastern Congo.
Supported in men, weapons and ammunitions by Rwanda, the M23 rebels have engaged in a campaign of terror in eastern DR Congo since they started their rebellion in April.
On November 20, the M23 rebels captured the city of Goma but withdrew two weeks later after coming under increased pressure from regional and international leaders. The Congolese government has been holding talks with the rebels in Kampala, Uganda.
Human Rights groups and the United Nations have accused the rebels of widespread abuses, including rapes, the use of child soldiers, kidnappings, targeted assassinations and summary executions.
Hundreds of thousands of civilians have fled their homes because the M23 rebellion.
The White House said that Mr. Obama stressed to Mr. Kagame “the importance of permanently ending all support to armed groups in the DRC, abiding by the recent commitments he made... and reaching a transparent and credible political agreement that includes an end to impunity for M23 commanders and others” involved in rights abuses.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Treasury Department added two more M23 leaders on its sanctions list, saying in a statement that the M23 “has been responsible for carrying out extensive atrocities against the civilian population of the DRC, and its activities have dramatically undermined peace efforts in the region.”
The M23 rebels claim they rebelled because the Congolese government failed to implement a peace agreement signed in 2009.
Many analysts believe the true motives for their rebellion is the desire by Rwandan officials to control regions of eastern Congo rich in mineral resources and to protect M23 commander Bosco Ntaganda, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court on war crimes charges.
The White House statement said Mr. Obama “expressed his belief that from this crisis should emerge a political agreement that addresses the underlying regional security, economic, and governance issues while upholding the DRC’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, the Rwandan government has repeatedly denied any support to the M23 rebels, even to the point of ridicule.
A U.N. Group of Experts monitoring sanctions imposed on armed groups in DR Congo has said that Rwanda’s Defense Minister James Kabarebe is the de facto commander of the M23.
The United Kingdom has followed other donor countries, including the United States, by suspending its aid to Rwanda citing “credible and compelling” evidence of its support to the M23 rebels.
U.S. Sanctions M23 Rebel Leaders
U.S. Department of the Treasury - December 18,
2012
The U.S. Department of the Treasury today designated two
senior leaders of the Congolese militant group Mouvement Du 23 Mars (M23), Baudoin
Ngaruye and Innocent Kaina, pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13413, which
targets persons contributing to the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the
Congo (DRC).
“M23 leaders Ngaruye and Kaina are responsible for carrying out terrible acts of violence against civilians and children in the DRC,” said Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Director Adam J. Szubin. “We will continue to work with our partners in the international community to bring about an end to this conflict.”
M23 is a militant group that operates in the eastern DRC and is made up of rebels who defected from the armed forces of the DRC (FARDC). Since the M23’s formation, the group, under the guidance and leadership of Ngaruye and Kaina, among others, has been responsible for carrying out extensive atrocities against the civilian population of the DRC, and its activities have dramatically undermined peace efforts in the region.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, and numerous human rights groups have condemned the human rights abuses committed by M23 and its leadership. In June, Commissioner Pillay specifically identified Ngaruye and Kaina as responsible for a range of human rights abuses, including: the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict, the massacre and disappearance of civilians, and the abduction and mass rape of women. “Every effort must be made to hold these men, and the soldiers under their command, accountable for human rights violations committed against civilians -- both for crimes committed within the context of the current mutiny, and also for offences committed previously,” Pillay said.
As a result of Treasury’s action, any assets of the individuals designated today that are within U.S. jurisdiction must be frozen. Additionally, U.S. persons are prohibited from conducting transactions with Ngaruye or Kaina.

Blood mobile phones fan DRC’s murderous conflict

The DRC has the world’s largest reserves of cobalt and significant quantities of the world’s diamonds, gold and copper. This makes the DRC potentially the richest country in the world.
But this central African country has been ranked among the poorest and most underdeveloped countries on this planet.
If this fact is not enough to shock you, then you might also want to hear this: in the last decade alone, more than four million people have been killed and countless have been raped because of conflict.
In fact, current estimates indicate that 1,500 people are killed in this blood-thirsty country every single day. Yet no one in the international community has yet declared what is happening there as a holocaust.
The United Nations has sent a huge contingent of 17,000 troops to contain the situation but the slaughter continues. Most of the fighting has been occurring in the eastern part of the country, which produces one per cent of the world’s coltan – a substance that is used in mobile phones.
DRC’s case shows that mineral and other sources of wealth do not always lead to development, and can actually be the cause of impoverishment.
Greed for control of the mineral wealth is behind some of the most violent atrocities. A map of Congo’s mineral deposits shows that the violence is most acute in the most mineral-rich parts of the country.
Coltan is produced near North Kivu and Goma, where rebel leader Laurent Nkunda launched the most aggressive offensive against the government.
Low-intensity conflicts have been occurring in the northeastern parts of the country, which contains gold deposits.
We all know that the Belgian colonialists and the despot Mobutu Sese Seko raped the country until it bled to death.
But it would be extremely naïve for us to believe that rebels in the DRC are not after the same things the Belgians and the Mobutu craved – wealth obtained from minerals.
It would also be extremely foolish to assume that the fighting is not benefiting neighbouring countries – which act as conduits for the minerals to the world markets.
What's more, foreign companies control the mines that are free from rebel control. This means a large share of the mineral profits remain in foreign hands.
Fortunately, neighbouring Rwanda is wisening up, and in January joined forces with the DRC government to flush out and arrest Nkunda and facilitate a ceasefire.
But with all the mineral wealth at stake, can the world expect the violence to end once and for all? And what about the lucrative trade of illegal mining? Can we expect a process whereby minerals are certified as legal before they are put on the world market?
It took years for diamond mining companies to adopt a certification system that would curtail the export and import of “blood diamonds”.
But now a few civil society groups and non-governmental organisations are realising that it is not just diamonds that are tainted with human blood, but other minerals as well.
A recent report aired on the BBC talked of a campaign to stop the production of what can be termed as “blood mobile phones”.
The DRC’s coltan has been identified as one of the leading causes of the conflict in the eastern part of the country, and attempts are being made to ensure that mobile phone manufacturers stop using coltan that is sourced there.
Of course, it is highly unlikely that DRC will emerge as a developed country once the fighting stops.
Despite registering a growth rate of 6 per cent in 2007, this vast territory lacks the basic infrastructure that could help sustain growth and promote prosperity.
New players, such as China, are investing heavily in DRC. According to African Business, the Chinese government has announced a $9 billion investment in the country, a third of which will go to mining projects, while the rest will be used to build 2,400 miles of road, 2,000 miles of railway, 32 hospitals, 145 health centres and two universities.
In return, China will receive 10 million tonnes of copper and 400,000 tonnes of cobalt. The scramble for DRC’s minerals, it seems, has now moved to another level. Let us hope the killings will stop, too.

Congo with $24 Trillion in Mineral Wealth BUT still Poor
Blood mobile phones fan DRC’s murderous conflict
According to last month’s edition of African Business magazine, the total mineral wealth of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is estimated to be $24 trillion – equivalent to the GDP of Europe and the United States combined.
The DRC has the world’s largest reserves of cobalt and significant quantities of the world’s diamonds, gold and copper. This makes the DRC potentially the richest country in the world.
But this central African country has been ranked among the poorest and most underdeveloped countries on this planet.
A recent report aired on the BBC talked of a campaign to stop the production of what can be termed as “blood mobile phones”.
