US embassy cable - 05KINSHASA1094

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. (C) Recent Ugandan allegations that 1,000 Allied 
Democratic Forces (ADF) soldiers are regrouping in Ituri 
along the Ugandan border are unfounded, according to MONUC. 
Although Ugandan press reported that a joint aerial 
surveillance mission conducted with the UN in December 2004 
identified ADF bases, a MONUC political officer told poloff 
July 6 that there is no evidence of heightened activity by 
the ADF in Ituri and that Uganda was trying to create a 
justification for continued intervention in the DRC. 
(Comment: MONUC's activities in Ituri threaten Uganda's 
access to lucrative natural resources in the DRC. End 
comment.) The allegation of ADF regroupment comes on the 
heels of President Museveni's letters to President Kabila and 
Secretary General Kofi Annan condemning both the DRC and 
 
SIPDIS 
MONUC for their inaction against the ADF (reftel).
