Roleplay of DRC Negotiations 12-5-02 substantial operational independence in border regions, ADF (Sudan) militia attacks across the Congolese borders have not diminished. As a result of these attacks, humanitarian and security situation in the Rwenzori mountains region of southwest Uganda has deteriorated. Over 100,000 people have been displaced in Bundibugyo and Kasese districts. Rwanda has a number of direct and indirect objectives behind its continuing involvement in the Congo such as security promotion: by displacing its war into the Congo and thus moving associated human rights and security problems out of northwest Rwanda. Another objective is human rights promotion: by protecting Congolese Tutsi populations and ensuring that ethnic cleansing or worse will not befall those populations. It is of great concerns to the Congolese that the Rwandan and Ugandan forces will not all want to leave the DRC until the last ex-FAR/Interahamwe has been captured. Against the backdrop of a lack of international support for the effort to counter the genocidaires, Rwanda acts as if its ends – the eradication of the threat of genocide – justify its means. This attitude is irrespective of how unwelcome by or costly to local Congolese populations. Also there exist tensions and disagreements between Uganda and Rwanda over the prosecution of the Congolese war, which is further exacerbated by local disputes over the control of resources. There is no agreement regarding the choice of a justice system: Truth & reconciliation? International tribunal or national court? Sierra Leone example? Amnesty ?
Roleplay of DRC Negotiations 12-5-02 Briefly stated, Rwanda and Uganda prefer to stay away from discussing humanitarian issues. In fact, they are opposed to resolving these issues because they need the strife and disorder to keep their own people in DRC and maintain power. MAIN OBJECTIVES • Demand that the government of the DRC control Congolese tribal warriors. If the do not, maintain presence in the DRC. • MLC proposed a revolving presidency every three years. This is not likely to succeed. Acceptable minimum—Bemba should be elected one of the four vice presidents. • Exercise monopolistic control over the area Uganda/MLC controls including natural resources, cross-boarder trade and tax revenue. Acceptable minimum—If the Uganda/MLC group gives up full control, suggest partial control, legitimizing businesses and collecting taxes.
