Jusque la, je n'ai recu aucun coup de fil, ni un message electronique concernant la situation de Kisangani. Il est bien facile d'ignorer ce massacre, mais nous seront tous responsables du jugement que nous infligera l'histoire de notre chere nation pour avoir echouer a sauver le Congo du naufrage.
J'etais contraint d'appeler l'ambassade du Congo a Washington DC pour leur demander ce que Kabila et siens ont pris comme initiative pour sauver les quelques ames restants teres a Kisangani et aussi savoir leur degre de mobilisation de la communaute internationale sur ce genocide (lire Collette Braeckman du soir du 9/6/00). Semble-t-il, des demarches sont deja entreprises par la representation du Congo DR a Washington. Cela ne suffit pas par peur de geler les dit documents dans les placards de la maison blanche. J'attend un fax de l'ambassade pour en savoir le contenu. Je vous en ferai part.

Uganda and Rwanda mock UN brokered cease-fire at Kisangani and are getting away with murder
Reporting for AP, Hrvoje Hranjski describes the situation at Kisangani, DR Congo this way: "Rwandan and Ugandan armies traded mortar and machine-gun fire today (June 9) without apparent military objective, making a mockery of the latest UN-brokered cease-fire agreement in the Congo civil war." The Ugandan-Rwandan destruction of Kisangani is now in the fifth consecutive day. A cease-fire was to have taken effect late June 8. Hranjski says the bombardment has been relentless over the past five days. Most of the city's estimated 200,000 residents remain trapped under fire. There is no water or electricity, and food supplies are running out. Conditions in the city's four hospitals are said to be dire. Bodies lie in the street, uncollected because of the fire. Doctors cannot move from their homes. Sick and wounded simply sit, waiting to die. The UN is helpless to act. Questions must now be asked about why the international community is permitting Uganda and Rwanda to get away with murder. (06/09/00)
