D.R. Congo: Arrest Laurent Nkunda For War Crimes
Military and U.N. Should Act to Protect Civilians
(New York, February 1, 2006) - The transitional government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and U.N. peacekeeping troops must immediately arrest Laurent Nkunda, a former officer in the Congolese army who has been charged with war crimes and whose rebel forces have renewed military operations in eastern DRC, Human Rights Watch said today. Nkunda’s whereabouts have been well-known to the Congolese authorities and U.N. peacekeepers since the warrant for his arrest was issued in September 2005.
An arrest warrant was issued against Nkunda for war crimes, crimes against humanity and insurrection months ago but the police and army have done nothing about arresting him. So long as Nkunda is at large, the civilian population remains at grave risk.
“An arrest warrant was issued against Nkunda for war crimes, crimes against humanity and insurrection months ago but the police and army have done nothing about arresting him,” said Alison Des Forges, senior advisor to the Africa Division of Human Rights Watch. “So long as Nkunda is at large, the civilian population remains at grave risk.”
On January 18, rebel forces attacked and occupied several towns in Rutshuru territory, North Kivu province, after routing Congolese government soldiers stationed in the area. After a brief period of calm, combat resumed during the past weekend. The rebels were said to be under the orders of Nkunda, an allegation confirmed by the provincial governor in a communiqué issued January 26. Local sources report that both rebel forces and Congolese army troops have raped and otherwise attacked civilians and looted their property. Tens of thousands of Congolese have fled to neighboring areas or across the border to Uganda.
In September 2005 the government issued an international arrest warrant for Nkunda, who had been implicated in numerous war crimes and other serious human rights abuses during the past three years. In past investigations, Human Rights Watch has documented summary executions, torture, and rape committed by soldiers under Nkunda’s command, in Bukavu in 2004 and in Kisangani in 2002.
Nkunda was a senior officer in the Rwandan-backed Rally for Congolese Democracy-Goma (RCD-Goma), one of the main rebel groups fighting in DRC from 1998 to 2003. In 2004 he was named general in a new national Congolese army created from troops of the dissident forces at the end of the war. He refused the post and withdrew with hundreds of his troops to the forests of Masisi in North Kivu. In August 2005 he announced a new rebellion but launched no military operations at that time.
Nkunda has remained at large even though provincial government authorities, the Congolese army and U.N. peacekeeping forces knew of his whereabouts. Local journalists and civil society sources reported his frequent visits to Goma, seat of the North Kivu provincial government, and a major operations center for Congolese soldiers and U.N. peacekeepers.
In October General Gabriel Amisi, a former colleague of Nkunda from the RCD-Goma and commander of the 8th military region of North Kivu, told Human Rights Watch researchers that he knew where Nkunda was but gave no explanation why he did not arrest him.
On October 21, 2004 the Security Council in resolution 1565 directed the U.N. troops to cooperate with Congolese authorities “to ensure that those responsible for serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law are brought to justice,” a directive it repeated with added emphasis on December 21, 2005 (resolution 1649). Asked by Human Rights Watch researchers why U.N. peacekeepers had not assisted in arresting Nkunda, one senior U.N. official mentioned possible repercussions from Rwanda as one reason.
“The U.N. and the Congolese government need to muster the political will to take action. Every civilian who was the victim of war crimes during the recent fighting paid the price of continuing impunity in the DRC,” said Des Forges. “It’s long past time to arrest Nkunda.”
Background on Laurent Nkunda
Laurent Nkunda (known also as Nkundabatware), born in North Kivu, joined the RCD-Goma rebel forces in 1998. He received military training in Rwanda, including at Gabiro military camp, and became the commander of the Seventh Brigade of RCD-Goma forces.
Laurent Nkunda: wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity
In May 2002 Nkunda, together with General Amisi, was among the RCD-Goma officers responsible for the brutal repression of an attempted mutiny in Kisangani where more than 160 persons were summarily executed. In one incident, forces under Nkunda’s command bound, gagged, and executed twenty-eight persons and then put their bodies in bags weighted with stones and threw them off a Kisangani bridge. After the U.N. began investigating these crimes, Nkunda and several armed guards entered the U.N. premises and abducted and beat two guards.
At a Security Council briefing on July 16, 2002, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson called on Congolese authorities to arrest those who ordered or were involved in the massacre, and warned of further bloodshed if they were not brought to justice.
Despite the supposed end to the war and the establishment of a transitional government in 2003, dissident soldiers loyal to RCD-Goma clashed with other Congolese army forces in South Kivu in May 2004. Nkunda and troops loyal to him took control of the South Kivu town of Bukavu on June 2, claiming his action was necessary to stop a genocide of Congolese Tutsi, known locally as Banyamulenge. During the fighting, Nkunda’s troops carried out war crimes, killing and raping civilians and looting their property. In one case on June 3, 2004 Nkunda’s soldiers gang-raped a mother in front of her husband and children while another soldier raped her three-year-old daughter.
After U.N. peacekeepers negotiated Nkunda’s withdrawal from Bukavu, he and some of his forces headed into the forests of North Kivu while others, commanded by Col. Jules Mutebusi, found safety in Rwanda. The Congolese government has issued an international warrant for the arrest of Mutebutsi, charged like Nkunda with insurrection, war crimes and crimes against humanity. The Congolese Foreign Minister also wrote to Rwanda, requesting Mutebusi’s return to Congo, but Rwandan authorities have not handed him over.
In August 2005 Nkunda declared the current government corrupt and incompetent and said it must be overthrown. In September 2005 a large number of Rwandaphone soldiers belonging to the former RCD-Goma deserted the national army in North Kivu and some of them went to join Nkunda in the forests of Masisi.
Re:TUTSI EMPIRE IN THE MAKING....... 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago
Tutsi Empire or the Balaalo empire is basically the TUTSI master plan enacted in Rwakitura in 1992.
It will cover the area from the Indian Ocean in the East to the Atlantic Ocean in CONGO.
The land wrangles and evictions coupled by the looming land law in BUGANDA is part and parcel of this hidden Agenda to
impose a TUTSI domination in the great lakes Region headed by the TUTSI master planer M7, Paul Kagame in RWANDA and Pierre NKURUNZIZA in BURUNDI.If M7 gets his way and manages to curve KAMPALA from BUGANDA. This will ultimately became the CAPITAL of the TUTSI or BALAALO EMPIRE.
From KENYA, UGANDA,RWANDA,BURUNDI to CONGO are the AREAS that are currently being targeted by the TUTSI masters.
Re:TUTSI EMPIRE IN THE MAKING....... 10 Months, 2 Weeks ago
The Ttusi plan need to be thwarted not only with constant prressure democratically but also thru 'blood and iron'. These guys are too determined to be removed by ballots.

Re:TUTSI EMPIRE IN THE MAKING....... 10 Months, 1 Week ago
The TUTSI led foot soldiers of M7 started the occupation war in Luwero in the 1980's.The same foot soldiers continued to RWANDA and BURUNDI, today they are fighting a bitter war in CONGO led by TUTSI Nkunda backed by M7 and KAGAME in RWANDA.
What the unsuspecting BAGANDA didn't know was that this war had a hidden Agenda of destroying BUGANDA and ultimately occupy BUGANDA and replace it and make(central region) BUGANDA a seat of the Tutsi empire or Balaalo empire led by TUTSI M7 from RWANDA.
At the end of the war over 300,000 BAGANDA had been killed by NRM and all properties and Luwero infrastracture destroyed to make it easy for the TUTSI occupation of BUGANDA. Over twenty five years down the road
nothing has been rebuilt in Luwero despite a presence of over 500 NGO's coupled with the current illegal occupation of vast tracts of land by TUTSIS or Balaalo overtly and covertly financed and supported by M7!
The looming land law is intended to make Balaalo secure and keep this land free of charge !
Moreover Baganda who were killed by M7 in Luwero their skulls are being exported to HongKong and other asian countries where these skulls are crushed into powder form and mixed with chemicals to make china ware products like plates,cups,dentures and dishes!!
Even in death BAGANDA are still exploited by Nyarwandas in present day Uganda.
As if that is not enough next week they are tabling the new land law destined to make BAGANDA landless!
Nakaseke residents, holding skulls, demonstrate outside the council hall, demanding a district status
By Frederick Kiwanuka, Lydia Namubiru and Joshua Kato
EVEN in death they cannot rest in peace. The remains of those who lost their lives during the NRA liberation struggle are slowly but surely disappearing.
Local people believe witchdoctors use them to cast spells on their clients’ enemies.
Though exact figures are impossible to get, the local people say the heaps are reducing by the day.
At Katikamu in Luwero district, where 2,000 skulls were buried in 1995, residents report that more than half have gone missing.
“We used to have a full grave but now the remains are just covering the bottom,” says Hajji Umar Kyagulanyi, the LC3 chairperson of Katikamu sub-county.
Several cases of trespassing on the graves have been reported to the Police in recent years.
Five people were arrested by the Nakaseke authorities in 2000 after they were found sneaking into the mass grave at the Kikamulo sub-county headquarters.
When questioned, they claimed they had been looking for the remains of a dead relative.
“We let them go although we believed they had other motives,” says James Senteza, the Kikamulo LC3 chairman.
In 2001, a man was arrested and charged with stealing two skulls from the Wakyato mass grave, again in Nakaseke district.
Four years later, Nakaseke residents were seen brandishing human skulls during a demonstration demanding that their area be given district status.
And last year, several people were arrested with human skulls in Kayunga, a district that neighbours Luwero.
The disappearing of skulls is not new to the Luwero assistant CAO in charge of Katikamu County, Fred Kyeyune. “I have not personally gone to the mass graves but I have received those reports from people,” he told Saturday Vision. He said the Police was investigating the matter.
Over 70,000 skulls
According to official estimates, over 300,000 civilians were killed during the NRA guerrilla war against the regimes of Milton Obote and Tito Okello Lutwa. Of these, over 70,000 skulls were collected and buried in mass graves scattered across the vast Luwero Triangle at the end of the war.
While touring the Nakaseke mass graves with foreign diplomats in May, 2006, President Museveni noted that all the victims were civilians, and many of them children.
Edward Mwanje, a resident of Nakaseke, recalls that displaced people who were lining up for relief would be pulled out of the queues by then UNLA government soldiers and killed on suspicion of being guerrillas.
In another incident, he says, hundreds who had fled the war were duped into returning to their homes during a lull in the fighting.
They were welcomed by UNLA soldiers, commanded by Brig. Binaisa and Capt. Brown, who killed them.
Moses Senfuma of Kapeeka recalls the notorious attack on a church at Kasiga, Kapeeka sub-county. A total of 27 people who had taken refuge inside the church were killed, he says.
In Katikamu sub-county, there was a special operations commander, George Wilson Ogole, of Obote’s army. The site had a notorious road block where people were arrested and killed in the nearby bushes on the slightest suspicion of being collaborators or guerrillas.
According to Hajj Kyagulanyi, there was also a major detention camp where hundreds of people were detained, tortured and killed. “They would be shot, beheaded or beaten to death,”he says.
The skulls were voluntarily collected by residents in the late 1980s. “After the war, we picked the skulls from the bushes,” says Maimuna Nakibuka, a resident of Katikamu.
“We used to collect them from swamps and gardens. Sometimes we would find them along the way. They were everywhere,” says Makanga, an LCV councillor in Nakaseke sub-county where the remains of 1,405 victims were buried.
Initially, the skulls were stored at different locations, such as stores and verandahs at the various county and sub-county headquarters.
Between 1992 and 1995, mass graves were commissioned and built through a sh20m government project. At ceremonies funded by State House, the remains were finally laid to rest in mass graves that would each hold thousands of skulls.
Besides the Katikamu and Nakaseke mass graves, thousands more were buried in graves in Sambwe, Kikyusa, Butuntumula, Makulubita and Ziroobwe, all in Luwero.
In Nakaseke district, mass graves were erected in Wakyato, Kikandwa, Kikamulo and Semuto, while another burial site is at the Nakasongola district headquarters.
The mass graves were constructed in the form of big cubical pits with detachable concrete lids. Some have holes in the lids.
The windows were left unsealed to allow visitors view the skulls, according to the Luwero women MP, Rebecca Nalwanga.
Where have the skulls gone?
The Luwero Movement boss, Al hajj Abdul Nadduli believes the skulls are being stolen. He blames the theft on the lack of locks to secure the graves. “There have been fewer cases of theft at some of the sites where local authorities have put improvised locks,” Nadduli says.
The Nakaseke deputy RDC, Lt. John Kaddu, points at the poor state of some of the burial sites. “Some of the sites have deteriorated so much that they are easy for one to break into,” Kaddu says, citing Kikandwa and Semuto burial sites.
“The problem is that the burial sites were not fenced off. It is easy for wrongdoers to steal them for all kinds of reasons,” says Hajj Umar Kyagulanyi LC3 chairperson of Katikamu.
Asked why people would steal human skulls, the Luwero assistant CAO says: “We are wondering, too. These skulls are not food that people should steal and eat. There is no known museum where they could be taken to. It is hard to draw a conclusion. But Police is investigating the issue.”
Many locals believe the skulls are used for witchcraft. The communities around Luwero believe they can be used to cast a spell on one’s enemy.
According to the Ugandan Penal Code, a person caught exhuming the remains of a dead person without a court order, can be charged with disturbing the peace of the dead and may be sentenced to up to three years in jail.
Some efforts are being made to secure the after-life peace of the people with whose blood Uganda’s peace was bought.
The UPDF has recently embarked on a campaign to fence off the grave sites. The project, which started at Gombe in Wakiso district, is to cover all the 13 grave sites, according to officials of the UPDF construction unit.
The grave sites are also undergoing some renovation, according to Luwero RDC Geoffrey Kyomukama. “We are in the process of renovating the graveyards to make them safer,” he says.
