NKUNDA & MUSHAKI TOWN
To Orwell Today,
Dear Jackie,
Congratulations for this UN HATE WEEK ON NKUNDA answer to an obviously
ignorant or corrupt fellow. I speak out for Nkunda also.
Like Nkunda I was born in DRC, actually in Mushaki, the small village fallen
into the FARDC hands yesterday. Like many of my compatriots, I had to stay out
of the country. I work in a private university in Nairobi but currently I am in
Europe trying to finish a PhD thesis in Political philosophy. I started
speaking up for Nkunda at the beginning of this year publishing articles in
French on VIRUNGA NEWS and KIVU PEACE. I am looking for online publications in
English so that I can reach also an English speaking audience, still searching.
I am very proud of your stand and thank you heartily again.
Best regards,
Antoinette Kankindi
Greetings Antoinette,
It is godcidental to be hearing from someone from Mushaki because my heart
was crying for Nkunda and his soldiers and all the villagers there when the
international news was reporting yesterday that Kabila's FARDC soldiers, with
backup from the UN, had taken the town. Mushaki was described as having a large
Tutsi population with a vibrant market and an important place from which Nkunda
could look out toward Goma. I was wondering if Mushaki was one of the villages
shown in the DVD I have of Nkunda visiting villages during his PILGRIMAGE OF
RECONCILIATION thanking villagers for their support, and which I describe in
NKUNDA & INTORE HEROES. I'm going to watch it again today and write down the
names of the villages and will be sending positive vibes their way.
All the best in your endeavour getting the word out to the English speaking
world about Nkunda and his cause, and for sending links to other sources for
truth about Nkunda.
Amahoro,
Jackie Jura
DR Congo army in offensive against rebel Nkunda
BBC, Dec 3, 2007
The Democratic Republic of Congo's army has launched an offensive against
rebel leader Laurent Nkunda, using helicopter gunships and heavy artillery.
Fighting is taking place in Mushake, a rebel town 40km north-west of Goma, a
day after the army lost one battle. There are reports that the army has retaken
some villages in the east that were captured by Gen Nkunda's men. A BBC
correspondent in the region says there were jubilant soldiers on the road
between Sake and Goma. Government forces have repeatedly threatened Gen Nkunda
with force unless he relinquishes his control over areas close to the Rwandan
border. Gen Nkunda claims he is defending his own Tutsi community against
Rwandan Hutu rebels responsible for the Rwandan genocide in 1994, who have been
roaming the east of DR Congo ever since.
The BBC's Arnaud Zajtman in the east of DR Congo says the attack is the start
of a long-anticipated offensive. Mushake looks over a key road that links the
regional capital, Goma, with valuable tin mines and rich farming land further
west, he says. The small hillside town is a stronghold of the rebels and its
buzzing market centre is inhabited mainly by Tutsi cattle farmers. It is being
attacked by ground troops using heavy artillery supported by two attack
helicopters. A military spokesman for the UN mission in DR Congo said UN
peacekeepers are bringing logistic support to the government forces, but are
not engaged in any fighting.
The attack comes a day after the rebels captured the town of Nyanzale, about
100km further north. The rebels forced the government soldiers to pull out and
took control of their military base there. Witnesses said over 40,000 civilians
fled as a result. There were no reports of civilian casualties but medical
sources told the AFP news agency that several wounded government soldiers were
in nearby hospitals. The elected Congolese government has made a commitment to
flush out the Rwandan Hutu rebels, and says Mr Nkunda and his 6,000-8,000 men
should also lay down their arms. Some 15,000 UN peacekeepers are in DR Congo to
secure peace after a five-year conflict officially ended in 2002.
DR Congo retakes rebel stronghold. MediaWithConscience. Dec 7, 2007 (...A
spokesman for Nkunda's National Congress for the Defence of the People (CNDP)
played down the army's retaking of Mushake. Rene Abandi said: "Mushake was not
a strategic area, nor a CNDP headquarters." He said that Nkunda's troops
withdrew to "save the civilian population". Nkunda, a former army officer, says
he is fighting to protect his native Tutsis from Hutu militia that fled into
the DRC after the Rwanda genocide in 1994. Fighting in the Masisi province has
displaced hundreds of thousands of people since December last year. The United
States recently urged Nkunda to surrender and go into exile to avoid a bloody
showdown, while Kinshasa has called on the general to end his rebellion and
reintegrate his men into the army.
Congo's army attacked a stronghold (of renegade Tutsi General Laurent
Nkunda). SouthAfricaNews, Dec 4, 2007 (...Army attack helicopters bombarded
targets around Sake and Mushake, and UN helicopters took to the air, said Major
Vivek Goyal, acting military spokesperson in North Kivu for Democratic Republic
of Congo's UN peacekeeping force (Monuc)...Mushake has been an important base
for Nkunda's 4 000-strong rebel force since fighting broke out in late August.
The rebels abandoned a Rwandan-brokered peace deal and quit special mixed army
brigades formed in early 2007 to stem violence in North Kivu following Congo's
1998-2003 war...

UN joining attack against Tutsis (siding with genocidal Hutu forces) & Nkunda
still desires peace talks ('trouble is gov't & UN impose war') & Congo/UN/Hutu
armies attacking Nkunda (heavy artillery & backup helicopters) & Nkunda must
leave Congo says USA (surrender & go into exile or face bloody violence from
UN) & Force against Nkunda catastrophic (dwarf every crisis on continent).

UN HATE WEEK ON NKUNDA
"A new poster had suddenly appeared. It had no caption, and represented simply
the monstrous figure of a soldier, three or four metres high,
striding forward with expressionless face and enormous boots,
a sub-machine gun pointed from his hip.
The thing had been plastered on every blank space on every wall,
even out numbering the portraits of BIG BROTHER."
To Orwell Today,
re: LUMUMBA-LIKE LAURENT NKUNDA and ENIGMATIC LAURENT NKUNDA
You are perhaps the greatest fool on the net. Nkunda is a modern day rogue
and none the less he only does harm to his own people. Nobody in the Congo knew
what or who a fucking tutsi was until the refugees started swarming in mass
into congo after the genocide. The tutsi don't even account for 3% of the
congolese pop. Now all the attention from the largely Bantu and Adamawa people
of the congo is focused on the Tutsi as a bunch of hooligans who have no loyal
or patoric backbone in them. They sit and let foreign government rule their
unloyal and heathen like hearts into the massacre of 5 million people. They
claim to be victims of a modern day genocide, but the jews were never
oppressors of the germans. The Hutu had all rights to uplift themselves from
their oppressor. Label it genocide, I call it a just slaughter. The congolese
people have a wide and open eye. It's a country of 400 ethnic groups of which
only 5 are nilotic. Adamawa and Bantu people can settle their
differences. The ignorant nilotic or whatever the tutsi claim leans toward,
will not lead to a war in the new united congo but bring tryanny and chaos to
rwanda, uganda, burundi, and eventually kenya where this bantu and nilotic
conflict begins. The united congo will not sit idle and watch a group of
unloyal, unpatoric, and UnCONGOLESE fool try to create chaos in the homeland.
Support your Museveni, Nkunda and Kagame, but know that the tutsi or ankole
have created an enemy in every nation in africa, and the genocidal claim does
not flow anymore.

Greetings Kikudji,
I guess - in your opinion - a Westerner like myself is not entitled to an
opinion on what is done with the United Nations army in the Congo that America
contributes $100 million taxpayer dollars a year to fund, and off which live
19,000 so-called "peacekeepers" there.
You hate Nkunda for his ethnicity which happens to be Tutsi, but you don't
mention which of the 400 other Congo ethnic groups you belong to.
You call me a fool for defending Nkunda when the rest of the internet is
against him but perhaps I have a greater understanding of the situation there
than most people and am therefore forming an educated opinion. See CONGO WOLVES
ON NKUNDA.
I have been to the very area - Goma in the Congo - near where Nkunda and his
people live and previous to that I read extensively on the history of the Congo
- up to, including and beyond the assassination of Patrice Lumumba - a person
you probably also hate, and one who the forces of the government, the United
Nations and other ethnic groups in the Congo were aligned against - as they now
are against Nkunda. See GOMA'S LUMUMBA VOLCANO and JFK CRIED FOR CONGO and
SLEEPING ON LAVA IN RAIN.
In "1984" Orwell said that whenever BIG BROTHER chose a new enemy, the
MINISTRY OF TRUTH (LIES) lashed the masses into frenzies of hate against him.
That's what the UNITED NATIONS - the Big Brother organization that uses its
army to prevent peace and wage war - is doing in the Congo now - using the
international media as its mouthpiece. It's whipping up hate against Nkunda and
few - besides myself, "the greatest fool on the net" as you say - seem to be
speaking out against it. See Orwell's themes 2.Big Brother and 16.Ministry of
Truth (Lies) and 36.Hate Week
As a reader of my ORWELL TODAY website you must be familiar with the hundreds
of articles I have posted about the genocide in Rwanda. You can see them listed
under my original RWANDA'S GOOD MAN KAGAME article.
I am therefore not fooled about what the Hutus did to the Tutsis in Rwanda or
about what the Hutus plan to do to the Tutsis in the Congo - if they can get
rid of the only obstacle standing in their way, ie General Laurent Nkunda.
These genocidal Hutus - who Kabila and the United Nations are siding with -
have been training in the Congo all these years - starting in the refugee camps
in Goma where we Westerners provided a million dollars a day in aid to the
United Nations for their benefit. See CAMP GOMA MAFIA HOTEL
You say you hadn't even heard of Tutsis until after the Rwandan genocide and
now that's all you hear about. Well, until the Hutus who killed the Tutsis in
Rwanda ran into the Congo, the Tutsis there lived in relative peace. Apparently
Mobutu - as bad as he was - didn't allow Hutu genocidaires on his soil, as does
the present government of Kabila, in spite of signing Great Lakes treaties
promising to rid Congo of its genocidal Hutus.
The United Nations chose the Hutu side in the 1994 genocide in Rwanda and
they are obviously repeating themselves in the upcoming 2008 genocide in the
Congo. It is my hope that by speaking out against the slaughter before it
begins, there will be a chance of avoiding it. If not, then afterwards, no
doubt there will be millions of words spent by others on armchair analysis with
empty vows of "Never Again" and more funding to the UN peacekeepers who should
rightfully be called warmongers and dismantled for their never-ending
corruption and ineptitude in fulfilling their reason for existence. See UN
PEACEKEEPING NOT KEEPINGPEACE
Amahoro,
Jackie Jura
PS - Speaking of fools, there's an old adage - coined by Abraham Lincoln, one
of America's two most beloved presidents (the other one John Fitzgerald
Kennedy) - that goes:
"You can fool some of the people all of the time,
and all of the people some of the time,
but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."
As far as what is going on in the Congo against Nkunda - not all of "we the
people" are fooled.
