VIII. Participants: Elite Networks Roleplay of DRC Negotiations 12-5-02 DRC/Zimbabwe DRC Government—President of the DRC, took office when his father, Laurent Kabila, was assassinated in 2001. The international community has strong hope that he will move the peace process forward. Zimbabwe—has supported the Kabila government since the beginning of the conflict and now controls diamond mines given to it by the Kabila government. Rwanda/RCD Rwanda- For the purposes of this simulation, RCD represents RCD-Goma, the major rebel group backed by Rwanda. RCD opposes the Kabila government. Rwanda entered the war in order to retrieve some of its Hutu people who fled Rwanda after orchestrating and carrying out the Tutsi genocide. Rwanda now has a stake in Congo’s natural resources. Rwanda recently pulled troops out of the DRC and is working toward peace while still seeking justice for the Hutu rebels who carried out the Rwandan genocide. RCD-Goma—faction of the Congolese Democracy Rally backed by Rwanda, which occupies a portion of eastern Congo and opposes the Kabila government. RCD-Goma is led by Adolphe Onusumba. Uganda/MLC Uganda—opposes the Kabila government and backs armed rebel groups in opposition to the Kabila government. Uganda recently pulled troops out of the DRC and is working toward peace. MLC—Congo Liberation Movement, backed by Uganda, resides in the northern part of the Congo. MLC is led by Jean-Pierre Bemba. Internationals United States—during the Clinton administration, the U.S. was opposed to the Mobuto administration because of its ties to Sudan. The U.S. was allied with Uganda and Rwanda against Islamic extremism in Sudan. The U.S. now supports the Kabila government but will break away from Kabila if the government is found to be corrupt. United Nations (MONUC)—5,537 person U.N. peacekeeping including military personnel and up to 500 observers. MONUC’s mission in the DRC began on November 30, 1999 and continues to the present.
