Dear all,
It is all amazing.I do remember this week-end corresponding with Jackie
JURA and professor Antoinette KANKINDI who does not likes to be DOCTOR altough
this lady is about to receive a PHD from a well known UNIVERSITY in the United
Kingdom from her academical works.
This lady was ounce disturbed that I was speaking directely with the
General himself.Antoinette KANKINDI reveres LAURENT.She refered about him as
OUR LEADER.And she does get annoyed that I speaks of him as a normal human
being.
NKUNDA is a very likable person.He loves to laugh.He does it a lot.He
loves peoples.
I have met the President of Rwanda.He is also a wonderful person.KAGAME
invited me,he paid the fare,everything,and I met the fellow.The MAN I remembe
rmeeting was a very quiet man.A HUMBLE PERSON by EXCELLENCE.
I Knew he had looking forward for me to be with him in New York.I tought
about letting it go.As I always do whenever I decide that there are not a need
for Sharangabo Rufagari to be seen.I was told the MAN himslef wanted for me to
be around him.There are thingsyou cannot refuse to KAGAME for the simple fact
he SAVED MY PEOPLES FROM A COMPLETE GENOCIDE.And that why you have me fighting
days and nights.
KAGAME DOES OWE ME ANYTHING.I OWE EVERYTHING to KAGAME.
Nkunda is more talkative as Kagame is more quiet.KAGAME observes!I do know
that the fellow impressed him.Neverthless he does not show it to me.Nkunda is a
different story.I think of being a CONGOLESE makes a difference.He is very much
outgoing.
When AFRICA and the Great LAKES in particular will get to hear him.The
entire continent will be subdued by his CHARISMA.
IRESISTIBLE IS NKUNDA MIHIGO.

To Orwell Today,
re: NKUNDA & MUSHAKI TOWN
Dear Jackie,
The latest article published by AFP (not a friend of our cause usually) is
quite revealing: DR Congo rebel General Nkunda demands talks with government.
AFP, Dec 12, 2007
People have no other alternative but to get the point: we are spearheading
the emancipation of so many other minorities, and God willing, we'll save the
face of the Republic.
Regards,
Antoinette
Greetings Antoinette,
Yes, that is a revealing article and good reporting like that is appreciated
when it comes - such important information is there to convey.
From a position of strength - being victorious in battle (including re-taking
your Mushaki town) and literally routing the enemy - Nkunda is stretching out
his hand in peace, asking for a chance to negotiate.
Who - if he truly represented the Republic of the Congo - could turn such an
outreach down?
All the best,
Jackie Jura
DR Congo rebel general demands talks with government. AFP, Dec 12, 2007
Kinshasa Rebel general Laurent Nkunda Wednesday called for talks with the
Democratic Republic of Congo government after his troops scored important
victories in the volatile eastern Nord-Kivu province. "We need to negotiate. We
call for the opening of discussions with the government," rebel spokesman Rene
Abandi told AFP as Nkunde's forces faced off against UN peacekeepers. "This war
has been imposed on us from the beginning," he said. "We believe that the
solution to the problem is political and not military, even though the
situation on the ground is currently in our favour." Over the past two days,
Nkunda's fighters have taken back all the positions they held three months ago,
when fighting started with the Congolese army forces (FARDC) in troubled
eastern DR Congo. Late Tuesday, the rebels closed in on the town of Sake, about
30 kilometres (20 miles) north-west of the UN-defended provincial capital of
Goma.
The UN mission to the DR Congo, MONUC, has reinforced its troops in the
region and has vowed not to lose Sake to Nkunda's forces if they move on the
town. Early Wedesday, a MONUC spokesman said the area around Sake was calm
after some sporadic gunfire overnight. "The situation is unchanged in Sake.
MONUC is controlling the town," said Major Prem Tiwari, the UN mission's
military spokesman in Nord-Kivu province. "We have reinforced our positions. We
won't let this town fall into the hands of Nkunda's troops." Since the end of
August 20,000 government soldiers in Nord-Kivu has been involved in sometimes
heavy fighting with around 4,000 Nkunda loyalists as they attempt to force the
rebel militia to demobilise and hand in their arms. Less than a week ago the
government described its capture of the town of Mushake as a "great victory" in
the fight against Nkunda, who claims to be defending Tutsis against Hutu rebels
from neighbouring Rwanda.
The rebel general has rejected demands by Kinshasa and the UN to disarm, and
by Washington to surrender and go into exile. DR Congo's President Joseph
Kabila has ordered the army to disarm the rebel fighters by year's end. When
asked if the rebels intend to attack Goma or other cities, Abandi said: "That
will depend on the situation, whether they want to continue to pound us or
not." "It is not the first time that we have won a military victory against
FARDC, which is always in the end saved by MONUC. This situation cannot last
forever," he said. "We do not want to topple the institutions. We want to
fundamentally discuss our demands." Ever since it was set up in July 2006,
Nkunda's National Congress for the Defence of the People (CNDP) has been
demanding the "neutralisation" of the Mai Mai militia which it says is being
backed by the government to fight Nkunda's men. The CNDP is also demanding the
return of Congolese Tutsi refugees sheltered in neighbouring countries,
including Rwanda, and the dropping of what it claims are ludicrous war crimes
charges against Nkunda dating back to 2004.
After military gains, Congo rebels poised above town near Goma. VOA, Dec 12,
2007
[Nkunda] Rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo have won a series of
military victories against [Kabila] army forces. Some rebels are now perched on
a hill overlooking a densely populated town only 30 kilometers from the
regional capital. Only days ago, the Congolese army was celebrating a rapid
advance against rebel forces in Congo's eastern province, North Kivu. But in a
sudden turn-around, the insurgents, led by renegade general Laurent Nkunda,
have retaken all the villages they lost last week. Now, a group of Nkunda's men
stand on a grassy hill overlooking the large town of Sake, around 30 kilometers
northwest of the regional capital Goma, the same place they controlled before
the government's 20,000-strong offensive began last week. The insurgents say
they want to hold talks with the government to resolve the situation
politically rather than militarily ...Rebel and army forces have clashed in a
series of armed conflicts since late August. Rebel leader Nkunda says
he is fighting to protect local ethnic Tutsis from Rwandan ethnic Hutus.
General Narayan says over 100,000 civilians have been forced to flee their
homes in the last few days.

Dear all,
There are things I have never seen during my childhood in the DRC.That is
the ARMY fighting a war on a HORSEBACK.Never seen! it is like a movie fiction
right from HOLLYWOOD.
I first saw lately about horses climbing the hills of Masisi in the DVD
which send to me and thanks to the courtesy of NKUNDA himself.
I wondered were those horses were coming from then looking at the DVD I
recognized an old man (By now) called KASUKU.This old man was good friend to
Mzee Rufagari he uses to come and visit him in KATANGA.Both them shared the
loves of CATTLES.I remember overhearing them back then when i was a young boy
praising the good THIG ABOUT INKA.I think KASUKU owned more cattles than
RUFAGARI.I knew very well who will be KASUKU wife then.And I do remember very
well that this mulatto owned HORSES.
Well I have learned that Mr KASUKU is NKUNDA godfather.Laurent did
not tell me anything about it.
Now I do understand where those mighty HORSES are coming from.JACKIE JURA
met the first time PAUL KAGAME in London,Canada,I was the one who organized to
happen.
During their initial brief meeting KAGAME and JACKIE a caption of a
picture of St GEORGE
"The above photos of President Kagame and myself were taken in front of the
fireplace in the elegant sitting room where our meeting took place. The
ancient-looking statue behind us reminds me of a depiction of St. George and
the Dragon, a legendary character to whom I have previously compared Kagame. So
too have I pictured him as a knight on horseback riding into victory with the
flag of his people raised triumphantly in his upstretched arm."JACKIE JURA.

Jackie should said it about LAURENT NKUNDA MIHIGO.

(Photo archive from le SOFT)
When the history of the Great Lakes of Africa will be writen for future
generations, the name of LAURENT NKUNDA MIHIGO will appear in golden letters.
At the best of my knolowdge LAURENT NKUNDA MIHIGO is the first person from
that region of the world to have challenged the international order for a good
human cause.
¨THE RIGHT OF ALL HUMANKIND TO LIVE IN DIGNITY, JUSTICE and EQUALITY¨
It has been taught in political science that democracy is the best way to
govern Nations. It has been said that the will and the wishes of the Majority
should always prevail (which is very disputable most of the time because in
all of the life aspects usually the majority is wrong, that's why the world is
still a mess).
The so called NUMERICAL MAJORITY were put to test in many instances going
back to JESUS CHRIST time in history.
We had ADOLF HITLER "The MAN OF THE PEOPLE". The furher was indeed elected
by the GERMANS during his time. The result everyone knows about. Let us not go
back very far. GREGOIRE KAYIBANDA, JUVENAL HABYARIMANA were in power according
to the rule of numerical based ethnic majority.
The result was a GENOCIDE. And up to this day RWANDA is still trying to
recover from it. A nation was made of some peoples who will still feel guilty
the rest of their lives and some peoples who will feel being victimised the
entire time of their lives. When I see and realize what has happened to Rwanda
I can only praise PAUL KAGAME to have brought in some kind of Sanity in the
Rwandan peoples. KAGAME, because it is him I am talking about in this
particular sentence, is a man to be considered by history as well.
I recall a phone conversation I had with LAURENT NKUNDA at the end of
AUGUST. Laurent told me that the INTERAHAMWES, THE FARDC, and some other foregn
forces (He did not tell me who they were) were moving from the NORTH, THE
SOUTH, and THE WEST and they were heading to the EAST to attack him. He told me
some of those hostile troops were moving on FOOT, others were coming by trucks
and there were a lot of weapons being shipped by aircraft to GOMA. NKUNDA knew
every move the enemy was making.
I personally was kind of disturbed to see how lightly he was taking the
MENACE. Laurent is a GREAT GENERAL by all means .I know for a fact that against
the INTERAHAMWES, FARDC, MAY-MAY combination, LAURENT will reduce it to DUST (I
mean literally). What worried me was the FOREIGN FORCE behind those rag thugs
Interahamwes, May-May and their kind. I knew that LAURENT at some point will
have to face the MONUC or those FOREIGN FORCES acting disguised as MONUC.
Laurent didn't care, he was gonna fight anyway. Someone told me that NKUNDA
is what PELE used to be during soccer time. This guy is really good at war. A
lot of things have happened since they launched the final offensive against
him. And still...
They say "ONE'S LOVE FOR A COUNTRY IS A POWERFUL THING".
Well, history will record that LAURENT NKUNDA loved the Congo, the
peoples of the Congo and the hills of his birth that he will give up his life
for in its own entirety.
Prior to the FARDC-INTERAHAMWE and MONUC offensive LAURENT had been
offered ONE MILLION DOLLARS US, A HOUSE, A STEADY REGULAR INCOME for the rest
of his lifetime and all the LUXURY THINGS WHICH ARE USUALLY GIVEN TO FORMER
HEADS OF STATE, all that in the REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA. On top of that under
a UNITED NATIONS brokered deal he would have been given a TOTAL IMMUNITY
against all the so called "WAR CRIMES" he had been falsely accused of. It is
known that JOSEPH KABILA agreed to all those terms (although the entire
Military of the DRC including Joseph KABILA himself can hardly accuse Laurent
of anything).
Upon learning of his decision to refuse what has been granted to him a lot of
people in Africa and around the world came to discover that they were dealing
with a new kind of "CHE".
The other day I was joking with one of his closest advisors. I told him to
let LAURENT know that if that one million dollars should be multiplied by one
hundred then we should consider the offer with a guarantee that we should be
provideed the entire WESTERN CAPE province with at least 2 million head of COWS
of AFRICANDER race. Maybe then we should consider taking all the Congolese
BANYARWANDA down to South AFRICA.
Up to this day NKUNDA has not responded to me.

Un vieux sage me disait un jour que lon ne se bat pas seulement avec les
armes mais aussi et surtout avec lesprit.
Et le Général Laurent NKUNDA MIHIGO de marteler aux oreilles de ses
militaires : « Face au grand nombre, il nexiste
quune réponse, la qualité »,
Ainsi les 20 000 hommes, les BMP, les dizaines de chars des combats, les
hélicoptères de guerre, les hélicoptères de
reconnaissance de la MONUC, lappui logistique des Nations Unies nont pas
résisté à la qualité et à lIngéniosité des
1000 militaires du CNDP, les 3000 autres sétant déjà rendus aux FARDC ou alors
tués aux différents fronts , selon les
rapports de la 8e région militaire.
Ce qui est considéré maintenant comme le combat de David et Goliath, continue
à nous réserver des surprises : Dabord
la prise de Kikuku et de Nyanzale avec limportant arsenal tombé entre les
mains des militaires ANC/CNDP; maintenant
la perte de la très médiatisée Mushaki et KARUBA avec encore une fois un
arsenal très important darmes et des
munitions saisi par les militaires du CNDP.
La prise de Mushaki par les FARDC au prix de plusieurs centaines des morts
dans les rangs des FARDC dont le
Lieutenant Colonel MONDOLEWA et du Major Batallon, nétait quun fait politique
pour couvrir le discours du chef de lEtat
sur létat de la Nation. Sacrifier une centaine des vies des congolais et un
Colonel, des milliers des têtes de bétail,
envoyer des centaines des milliers de congolais en refuge et en exile juste
pour justifier son incompétence ressemble à
un crime de guerre et un crime contre lhumanité qui doivent être punis.
Nous apprenons que le chef dEtat major des forces terrestre le Général de
division HAMISI KUMBA qui sétait rendu hier
Lundi au front de SAKE a échappé bel lorsquune balle lui a frôlé la tête
emportant celle de son escorte qui se trouvait
derrière lui. La même source nous apprend que lhomme des situations difficile,
Tango four serait malade de ce quil a vu,
et il continue à vomir et souffrir des maux de ventre. Espérons que cette
expérience lui servira de leçon pour convaincre au
chef de lÉtat et aux parlementaires de shumilier et accepter de sassoir sur
la table de négociation que le CNDP.
Joint au téléphone ce mardi matin, le Colonel Wilson qui se trouve à KARUBA
nous apprend que les militaires CNDP se
reposent après lexcellent travail quils ont réalisé en chassant les FARDC,
pilleurs et violeurs, de toutes les localités de
Mushaki et de Karuba. « Cest pour nous un grand plaisir dinfliger une leçon
aux militaires FARDC, qui ne savent que fuir
et piller les biens de la population quils sont censés protéger ».
« On ne demande pas beaucoup à notre gouvernement, parfois nous nous demandons
si nous sommes aussi citoyens
congolais comme les autres, pourquoi alors le gouvernement à qui nous demandons
une audience pour discuter, nous
répond par des bombardements, personne ne comprend lattitude de notre
Gouvernement ».
« Pourquoi le gouvernement préfère-t-il les FDLR/Interahamwe à ses propres
fils? »
« Nous navons jamais refusé le brassage mais il y a des préalables, il y a le
statut de ces FDLR/Interahamwe mais
aussi il ya le problème de nos parents qui se trouvent dans les camps des
refugiés dans les pays voisins depuis
maintenant 15 ans ». Voilà comment a conclu cet Officier Supérieur de
lANC/CNDP.
Nous apprenons par ailleurs que les FARDC et leurs alliés les FDLR/Interahamwe
ont depuis 3 heurs du matin ouverts
des offensives à Katale et Rubare pour déloger les militaires ANC/CNDP dans
leur position. La même source nous
informe que les FARDC et alliés ont été repoussés et auraient perdu leur
quartier général de Katale.
A KIMOKA par ailleurs, nous apprenons que les militaires du Colonel PADIRI ont
pris la poudre descampette laissant
derrière eux la position de Kimoka entre les mains du Major SADDAM HUSSEIN.
Les voix commencent à sélever face à la tournure que vient de prendre la
guerre qui au lieu de se diriger vers Kitchanga,
rentre vers la ville de Goma doù les grands planificateurs commencent à gêner
la MONUC en lui demandant de sauver la
face de la ville qui est menacée par les militaires du CNDP.
Un adage de chez nous dit : « ukachoma ndizi usiogope moto » en français on
dirait : on ne fait pas des roses sans
épines ou encore le vin est fait il faut le boire, ou littéralement en faisant
les grillades il ne faut pas avoir peur du feu.
