RDC/RWANDA: Agreement Kigali: the monstrous contradictions

To see the mess that is woven around the state action, the government Matata is a bad start. It shines as well as by deficiencies of internal contradictions, apparently monstrous. About the agreement between Kigali and Kinshasa, it is silent and it speaks, it is denied and it retracts, denies it and it is recognized. The game is so coarse that it seems to make fun of people, however, that sovereign primary institutions all derive their power and legitimacy.

It was good that the government is responsible as a government Matata. Without waiting to be compelled. Both grievances that observers retain his dependents are obvious and accumulate at a speedy pace. Also, is it too early to require the government to make the apron?
The truth is that the Prime Minister has accepted the charge in a sentimental impulse to the point that he made a surprise party. He takes his time when major challenges should be addressed urgently, to the extent that they directly affect the daily lives of the Congolese people.
These, among others, the state budget for fiscal 2012 and whose absence so far reflects a visual navigation. Transit whose disruption paralyzed, Monday, May 21, 2012, activities in Kinshasa. Insecurity in the east with little attention given it paved the way for a new back-Rwandan armed forces on Congolese soil.
On this last issue that the government has been conspicuously monstrous contradictions. Hold. On May 12, 2012 a meeting took place in Rubavu (Gisenyi / Rwanda) between Defence Ministers, the Chiefs of Defence Staff and the heads of the specialized services of the two neighbors. Kigali announced the meeting while it was in Kinshasa lips are sealed. Contacted by telephone by our editorial staff, the government spokesman denied that suggested there would be lots of rumors.
On May 18, 2012, another meeting was held, this time in the Rwandan capital, and is chaired by President Paul Kagame. Mentioned in Kigali and indicates a strong Congolese delegation takes part. In Kinshasa, again, there is mystery about what they like to call secret defense (sic). When asked by our editorial Minister Mende Omalanga feared to be trapped. "Do not trap the members of government," he pointed out to potential. How? God only knows. On our insistence, he eventually let go if we were confident of holding such a meeting, we could just talk directly to the defense minister was quoted as among the members of the Congolese delegation in Gisenyi.
Evasion was easy. But facts are stubborn things, the spokesman was forced to give voice and set the public who no longer knew where to turn. Unfortunately, Mende Omalanga, in his press conference tried to calm things down by flicking the folder without going into the bottom. He said the meeting had indeed taken place but it would not have resulted in the signing of any agreement on a new joint military operation. This is called jargon, that is withholding information or "talking without saying anything."
Why some people believe that the government has not yet taken the sense of responsibility and behave like a cakewalk. And they would resign. What gives?
Public opinion has turned crazy. We tried to make him eat snakes. But the truth is like light, it will always emerge and shine through. While the Congolese press was short-circuited, the Rwandan and international media have filled the void by making public the summary of discussions Rubavu and Kigali. They did not use diplomatic language to reflect the conclusions of two meetings. This is, according to the recent signing of an agreement between Kinshasa and Kigali to revive joint military operations with the primary aim of tracking down FDLR.
What triturated brains is the focus on FDLR as FARDC were engaged in the pursuit of the mutineers led by Bosco Ntaganda and his accomplices Makenga Sultani and other Kazarama Vianney became the rivals of circumstance. This has every appearance of a market in which priorities take precedence over those of Kigali Kinshasa. Following the new agreement, the FARDC, who were about to catch him, a truce that will allow the mutinous general and his henchmen to save time and terrain, to strengthen their capacity for harm.
The sin of the government? This is for making the retention of information as to swim in the contradictions that can not honor it. But what the government has attempted to distort is found in terms of diplomatic or softened in the final communiqué that sanctioned the meeting of 18 and 19 May 2012 in Kigali. Which follows that of May 12, 2012 in Rubavu (Rwanda).
