ugnet_: NO UNITED NATION NO FRENCH RWANDA INSISTS

[Mulindwa Edward]

Mwaami Kironde   I am agreeing with you but I wish we can go a step further and wonder why Uganda and Rwanda are setting up conditions. I think irrespective of any history behind this massacre, Presidents Museveni and Kagame are occupiers of Congo, and if so they must be recognised by the International community as such. Now if they are, Museveni can not threaten that Uganda can go back to Congo (And that includes any other circumstance) Kagame must as well help us for he can not refuse UN or France or any International force into DRC for the genocide is in Ituri and not in Kigali, and the last time I checked those were two different and independent nations.  The moment we can reach this understanding, then women and children will stop being buried alive in DRC and the International Community will take over.   Em               The Mulindwas Communication Group "With Yoweri Museveni, Uganda is in anarchy"             Groupe de communication Mulindwas "avec Yoweri Museveni, l'Ouganda est dans l'anarchie" ----- Original Message ----- From: Ed Kironde To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 8:57 PM Subject: RE: [Ugandacom] NO UNITED NATION NO FRENCH RWANDA INSISTS I think the UN forces must exclude any nations which had strong ties with Rwanda.  Uganda, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Angola, Chad, Libya etl, must realize that DRC is a sovereign state. This is the time the African Union forces should shine.  The forces should not be drawn from any countries that border with DRC and in addition, Libya and Zimbabwe must be excluded. If we are going with the UN, let’s have Japan, Pakistan, India, Jamaica, Tanzania, Senegal, Ghana, Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico to send soldiers whose mission should not only be limited to peacekeepers but cleanse the DRC of these African forces of occupation and their mission will be accomplished when there is no any other foreign troops within the borders of DRC   -----Original Message----- From: Mulindwa Edward [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 5:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Rwanda; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Ugandacom] NO UNITED NATION NO FRENCH RWANDA INSISTS   Rwanda rejects French peacekeeping plan   By Mark Turner at the United Nations and Judy Dempsey in Brussels Published: May 28 2003 5:00 | Last Updated: May 28 2003 5:00 Rwanda yesterday voiced its opposition to France leading a peacekeeping force in the north-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, saying it had no moral authority to intervene.   Paris is expected to present a resolution, possibly as soon as this week, asking United Nations authority for a robust intervention force of willing countries to prevent further ethnic bloodshed in Ituri, where militias are battling each other for control. But Augustin Muvinyi, of Rwanda's permanent mission to the UN, said: "We don't believe France is appropriate." He accused Paris of aiding the regime during Rwanda's 1994 state-sponsored genocide and of a possible "hidden agenda". "France never prevented the genocide," he said. "What are they going to do now? Our fear is France might go there and re-organise genocidal forces. It might do a deal with Uganda." France has said it wants the explicit agreement of countries involved in the region before leading an emergency force to Ituri, but a French diplomat said yesterday that Paris had still received no answer from Rwanda. Rwanda has been accused of using its invasion of the Congo to loot the country's resources. Mr Muvinyi also reiterated Kigali's deep distrust of the United Nations' capacity to meet Rwanda's security concerns. Continued fighting in north-eastern Congo has prompted criticism of the effectiveness of the UN force in the country. Yoweri Museveni, the Ugandan president, yesterday told Jean-Marie Guehenno, the UN undersecretary-general for peacekeeping, that the body needed to station a large and well-equipped military force to keep order in Ituri province. Uganda recently withdrew from north-eastern Congo, leaving a power vacuum that analysts say has fostered inter-ethnic rivalries. The Ugandan and Rwandan comments came as the European Union instructed its military staff to look at the implic-ations of joining a French-led multinational force for the Congo. Any EU peacekeeping mission to the Congo would prove a test for Europe to assemble a highly trained force and military capabilities to back it up. The EU has no strategic airlift that could transport troops, humanitarian aid and equipment. Last week Javier Solana, the EU's foreign policy chief, suggested Europe should consider sending a force to Congo under the EU flag but under a mandate of the United Nations.
