INTRODUCTION

The fight that ---Congolese patriots within APARECO indefatigably lead for the liberation by all means of occupation and exploitationo in the Democratic Republic of Congo is a noble and rightgeous fight. However, some powerful political and financial lobbies from the West and from Africa distort the noble sense of this fight every day. This in the only purpose to protect their sordid interests in our country the DRC. That is why the brief narrative that we present you aims to highlight numerous zones of shadows which hide the identity of --- men who planned in backstage the invasion of Zaire. This narrative aims to show the depth and the sharpness of the devilish mechanism of --- secret links which always been existing between Paul Kagame and Joseph Kabila, and to explain how their complicity allowed to realize the biggest imposture of the political history of Africa. This narrative thus redraws the tortuous headway of the bloody ascent of an enigmatic man of doubious origins and adverse intentions. His history and his origins would certainly have interested nobody if he had only been an ordinary individual. Unfortunately, it is here about a man of enigmatic origins and of multiple identities, amazingly similar to the sphinx of the Greek mythology but whom, contrary to this monster, destroys every person who attemps to resolve the enigma of his own identity. It is here about a man who by chance found himself a way to be put in the hands of a powerful politico-maffioso alliance which decided to destabilize an entire country and all its people to have their lands and wealth. It is here about a strategic pawn which powerful political and financial lobbies worldwide

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 3

unanimously chose to subject people and plunder the ground and the mineral resources with impunity. It is here about a double agent, trained and supported by the Rwandan head of state, and who was infiltrated in the military and politicl structures of our country the DRC, to the point of occupying the presidential chair, most vital position of the Republic. And every time the Congolese elite and their people try to relaunch the debate on this Joseph Kabilas major problem of nationality---, the powerful mentors and the defenders who made him and put him on orbit use the international media, which they control at will, to denonce "xenophobia", "speech of hatred", "extremism" or even "congolit", neologism invented as scarecrow to frighten Congolese. That is why the APARECO decided not to give up as most of political formations in DRC did, but to lead up to the end, beside the Congolese people, the fight of the sovereignty, truth and justice! That is why the APARECO publishes this narrative which invites the entire International Community to consider attentively the macabre scenes of the injustice and the imposture which is taking place at present in DRC and that some financial and political lobbies are trying to cover in order to hide the horrors which occur there every day. This narrative presents only a tiny part of numerous written testimonies or videos from several live sources: Military Officers and ----kadogos (children soldiers) who started the war in 1996, and who therefore kept close to --- Joseph Kabila in his debuts.

I. JOSEPH KABILAS HIDDEN ORIGINS

1. His origins : Joseph Kabila, in his real name Hyppolite KANAMBE, was born on June 4th, 1971 of a Rwandan father on the name of Christopher KANAMBE and a Rwandan mother named Marcelline MUKAMBUKUJE. His father was an opossant to the Rwandan former president Juvnal HABYARIMANA. He met Laurent Dsir KABILA, opposant of the Zairean former president MOBUTU, in the resistance movements based in the mountains on the rwandozairean border, where they fought against their common enemies :MOBUTU et HABYARIMANA. After the death of his friend Christopher Kanambe in 1977, LD Kabila married (in the traditional customs) his widow Marcelline and adopted (in the same traditional customs) her two young twin children, a girl and a boy: Jenny KANAMBE and Hyppolite KANAMBE. 2. A neglected youth : LD Kabila, who wed--- several women (of which more than 13 ---) when he went underground---and of which he got a number of children (more than 25), had only a limited --time to take care of the latter. So as he had not been able to push his studies beyond the secondary level, the young Hyppolite Kanambe was forced to do several jobs for his living----; amongst which as a taximan,as a barman and of mechanic in the cities of Dar-are Salaam and of Kigoma in Tanzania.

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 6

---Indeed, his"foster father" (hear step father), LD Kabila, lived with all his family in exile in Tanzania during Hyppolite's childhood and adolescence. Kabila spent more of his time in exile in the traffic of the gold and diamond rather than fighting MOBUTU's regime; which often led him to cross the forests and the mountains of Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda, to exercise his fraudulent business. 3. Back to the native land In 1995, Hyppolite Kanambe decided to get back to his motherland the Rwanda, where he was welcomed by his uncle James KABAREBE, Colonel and Head of the intelligence services of the Rwandan Patriotic Army (APR), who accommodates him in his own home. At first, Kabarebe finds for his his nephew a job as "driver boy", in other words drive assistant of a delivery truck transporting goods in Kigali, before employing him as his private chauffeur. In 1996, when the Americans launch their military ---base to prepare the invasion of Zaire, Paul Kagame appoints Colonel James Kabarebe as Head of the military operations and responsible of the "Zaire File". He supervises the recruitment and the training of the new recruits of the military base. This is when he takes the opportunity to register his nephew Hyppolite Kanambe to the training program, in order to incorporate him, at a later stage, to the invasion operation of Zaire that is being primed.

II. PROGRESSION TOWARDS POWER

1. Paul Kagame's machiavellian plan: destabilize the DRC with the purpose of occupation and annexation

Joseph Kabila's entry to the supreme magistracy in Democratic Republic of Congo constitutes the crowning of a machiavellian plan skilfully conceived by the "brain", Paul Kagame, and accurately executed by his accomplice Hyppolite Kanambe turned into Joseph Kabila, under the directives and by means of his uncle and mentor James Kabarebe. The final goal, in the long term, is to take control of the running of the Congolese State structures from the top, in order to progessively realize the plan of occupation and annexation of targeted territories programmed in the east Kivu provinces of the Democratic Republic of Congo. By controlling the political and military power in Kinshasa by means of a very top staff ---accomplice, Paul Kagame believes to have enough operational margin to maintain the crisis in the region of Great Lakes and facilitate the realization of the plot. Paul Kagame is very aware of the fact that a strong and stable Congo, with a powerful and dissuasive army would constitute a severe obstacle, even a danger, to the machiavellian projects he has been nourishing for several years against the DRC. And having launched the operation of destabilization of the DRC by provoking both wars, he knows that the resolution of the

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 8

Congolese crisis would sound the knell of his power in Rwanda and would inevitably bring to light his direct involvement in the war crimes and the crimes against humanity committed against the Congolese populations and against the Rwandan Hutus refugees decimated in DRC by the Rwandan troops of the APR, allies of AFDL.

2. The strategy of "Trojan Horse"

To reach his goals, Kagam had conceived a plan of which the cleverness laid in using the strategy of the "Trojan Horse". It consisted in getting in Rwandan, disguised under the Congolese identity, into the expeditionary force of the members of the coalition and the allies of the AFDL of LD Kabila, in order to control the political and military institutions of the DRC. It is in this context that an important number of Rwandan political and military executives pointedly showed their false Congolese identity. Among them we shall remember the most comical case of James Kabarebe whom Kagame imposed to Laurent Dsir Kabila as Army Chief of Staff of the Congolese Army in 1997 and 1998. A lot of people forgot or did not notice that it is in the same lot that Joseph Kabila was imposed to Laurent Dsir to the heart of the system of his power in order to be able to control him better at first, then to weaken him, and finally to finish him. Today nobody is capable of understanding the

subtlety of the functioning of the mechanism of complicity between the Kagame, Kabarebe and Joseph Kabila, since no one understood the strategy put in place by both first ones to enable the elimination of all civilian and military persons who

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 9

constituted either an obstacle, or a threat to Joseph Kabila's ascent to the top of the power in DRC. This is why, it is essential to know the hidden details of the ascent of this sphinx of which the apparent composure and gentleness oppose terribly to the ferocity which he manifests at exterminating his real or presumed adversaries.

3. The successive stages of the ascent of the sphinx

Everything starts in 1996, a few weeks after the AFDL coalition 's launch of the war against the Zaire of Mobutu, when Laurent Dsir Kabila is recruited by the Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni and presented to Paul Kagame (with the blessing of the United States) to head the "Zairean rebellion". During the introduction of LD Kabila to Paul Kagame, the latter is rather disappointed by the aspect of his host who had, according to him, no look of a fighter, still less of a military man to lead this important military expedition in Zaire. In front of Paul Kagame reserves and anxieties, James Kabarebe reassures him by suggesting an accelarated training to the Rwandan special services for his nephew Hyppolite who, (how convenient), is close to the new boss of the "rebellion" who is no one else but his foster father So Hyppolite Kanambe appears as the providential man who is henceforth going to serve as "safety valve" and as "guard rail" beside Laurent Dsir Kabila. He will be at the same time

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 10

guardian of the interests of Rwanda, in other words, the eyes and the ears of James Kabarebe, which was in fact LD Kabila's "direct boss". To allow Hyppolite to fill his mission near LD Kabila more effectively, Colonel Kabarebe will him to a quick intensive training for intelligence officer (O.R.) in the Rwandan Army intelligence services training centre. From this moment onwards, the process of his infiltration at the core of the AFDL plan and around LD Kabila will accelarate. Indeed, after a brief in-service training in quality of his uncle James Kabarebe's aide-de-camp (in order to get him acquainted to the "Zaire file", get to know his new country and integrate the instructions and objectives of his mission with LD Kabila), Hyppolite Kanambe made his first official appearance beside LD Kabila who introduced him as his collaborater (not as adopted son or even step son), after the fall of the city of Kisangani in March 1997. At this stage of his mission, his task consisted in centralizing and in filtering all the audiences of LD Kabila and in reporting daily to his direct superviser Kabarebe, to the high attention of the "Boss", hear Paul Kagame. In this line of action, James Kabarebe had personally enjoined LD Kabila and the Rwandan security officers around him, to include Hyppolite Kanambe to all audiences without exception - so that he could take notes down! No audience was to be given if Hyppolite was not invited.

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 11

It is also from the Kisangani stepping stone that Joseph Kabila starts to assume military responsibilities as leader of the military intelligence services of M'Zee (LD Kabila's nickname). This position gave him the way to lead the massacre of hundreds of thousands Hutus refugees in this region - on James Kabarebe's order. After the fall of the city of Lubumbashi in April 1997, the coalition engage the final march towards the capital Kinshasa. Paul Kagame and James Kabarebe order LD Kabila to present Joseph as his son, urged by the events he cannot negociate, he obeys. Those who, so far, had known "Major Hyppo" will hear, for the very first time, LD Kabila name him "Joseph Kabila" and refer to him as "his son" during an interview. A major stage of the process had so just been achieved! This was the condition Kagame imposed to LD Kabila, to be authorized to self-proclaim President of the Republic of Zaire! Kagame's offer was quite worth its weight of gold, for the simple reason that in fact, the Americans had opposed to the nomination of LD Kabila at the head of Zaire. Against this new ally of conjoncture, the C.I.A. had a heavy file of serious litigations! Kagame knew that LD Kabila was well aware of this American disposition towards him. No wonder then, that a few months later, M' Zee broke the juicy contracts he had previously agreed on with the American Kansas companies! This decision would cost him his own life. In April 1998, James Kabarebe, now promoted

General Chief of Staff of the Congolese Armed forces, suggests to LD Kabila to send his "son" to a military training in China, for a couple of months. But while Joseph Kabila is in China, the political

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 12

climate between Rwanda and LD Kabila deteriorates quickly. As good strategist, Kabarebe quickly decides to call his joker back, in case So, at his hasty return from China and on James Kabarebe's proposition, "Kabila junior" is boosted to the rank of Major General and is given the function of commander-in-chief of the ground strengths of the FAC! This is how he became right-hand man of James Kabarebe at the head of the FAC! 4. Pretence demarcation from Kagame and Kabarebe Shortly after the official inauguration of LD Kabila in Kinshasa, the inhabitants of the capital are horrified when they discover the trick : the so-called "war of liberation" was actually hidding a dreadful Rwandan invasion. The Rwandan military of the coalition who behaved as on conquered territory in the Congolese capital struck the Congoleses pride and started getting on their nerves. The discontent rumbling rose and popular pressure was put on LD Kabila, himself exasperated by the arrogance of the Rwandan learned assembly which had invaded all the sectors of the political and the military power of the country. As a result, the reliable relations between LD Kabila and his Rwandan mentors went bad. M' Zee, forced by his people who demanded the departure of the "Rwandan invaders" began to show the first signs of nervousness. This situation does not escape James Kabarebe, the fine strategist, who promptly alerts at once his boss Kagame. Both decide to immediately proceed with the higher phase of their plan: James Kabarebe thus immediately passes the plan instructions on to Joseph Kabila and notifies him that the latter has now become the major pawn of the Rwandan plan in DRC. Joseph Kabile is

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 13

warned of the imminent and strategic withdrawal, from DRC, of the Rwandan troops and political executives expedition. As for him, he has to distance himself strategically (seemingly) from Rwanda and from his interests in order to gain more trust from LD Kabila and get even closer to him, fully playing the sensitive game of the adopted "son". To do so, he has to pretend to take sides with his "father LD Kabila", against the Rwandan! From this stage, Joseph Kabila starts to systematically link with the Katangan colonel Eddy Kapend (very close to LD Kabila), then with General Anselme Masasu, natural leader of the Congolese military native of Kivu. The connection with the latter will result in a bigger trust from his "father" who will confide him the intermediary's role between him and the Congolese military native of Kivu, whose trust he has just gained thanks to Masasus friendship. So when the quarrel between LD Kabila and his Rwandan and Ugandan ex-allies arose in June, July and August, 1998, Joseph Kabila will line up with his "father", according to the strategy established beforehand and according to the instructions from Kigali. This gesture will deeply touch LD Kabila who will appreciated it to its value! Here is how the Rwandan trap closed on LD Kabila without him being really aware of it. He will so be manipulated by his own enemies who will use him, himself -as we are going to see-, to open them the royal way to its murder and to the taking of the power in DRC.

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 14

5. Systematic elimination of several Congolese military officers who hampered the ascent towards the power In August, 1998, after the Rwandan invasion of Kinshasa failed and after the resulting Congolese revolt against rwandans, to accelerate the execution of the final phase, Joseph Kabila received the order from Kigali to get rid of any impeding or harmful element from his circle or in his way. To facilitate this delicate mission, James Kabarebe

makes the Rwandan military intelligence services infrastructure available to Joseph Kabile to supply him with false evidence which he will use to incriminate the Congolese military officers targeted for elimination. At the same time, his own privileged position with LD Kabila, henceforth convinced of the sincere attachment of his "son", gives him a very powerful supplementary weapon against his victims! Strong with these assets, Joseph Kabila starts a sbloody journey, worthy of these of a "serial killer". For each of his crime, he knows he can count on the expertise of his Rwandan mentors who take care to supply him with the "genuine evidence", which he presents to his "father", claiming to have pulled it out of the Rwandan services thanks to his own intelligence networks. The display of "evidence" provided by the Rwandan dens provoked almost immediately LD Kabila to pronounce the death sentence towards the poor "traitor" officers. General Anselme MASASU became the first known victim of this machiavellian masquerade!

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 15

a) Assassination of General Anselme MASASU In his strategic position of "Chief of Staff of the ground Forces" and in his intermediary's role between LD Kabila and the Congolese military officers native of the East, Joseph Kabila had received, from his "father", the responsability of transporting the logistic assistance to the East Front the latter had organised to block, with the Ma-Ma fighters, the aggression of his former allies Rwandans, his worst aggressors after August, 1998. Unfortunately, big quantities of this logistic help were regularly hijacked by Joseph Kabila for the benefit of the Rwandan troops. Kadogos committed to the service of Joseph Kabila eventually discovered his betrayal and decided to alert their natural leader Masasu. Hurt by this revelation on the trickery of the one that he believed to be his "brother and friend", Masasu decided to confront him. This proved to be wrong, because with this initiative he signed his death sentence, although Joseph Kabila friendly reassured him and rejected altogether all the charges and all the suspicions against him. After their interview, afraid to be denounced to the president LD Kabila by Masasu, Joseph Kabila actioned his killing process at once so that he could preem Masasu. On his urgent request, a fake genuine official document was provided by Kabarebe, with the heading of the Rwandan intelligence services, in which Masasu was appearing as collaborating with the Rwandan authorities and preparing the imminent physical elimination of the Congolese president! In front of these "irrefutable evidence" of high treason, Joseph Kabila easily received the green light from his "father" for the

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 16

execution of general Anselme Masasu, without lawsuit. So was this army officer delivered to his best friend Joseph by M' Zee, with eight other valuable Congolese officers involved as accomplices in the document. Nine companions in misfortune were all savagely massacred to Kantonia near Puto, under Joseph Kabilas unflinching eyes. After Masasus death, Joseph Kabila started a real purge within the army to eliminate Masasus "molest" as well as any other embarassing witness which could reveal or disclose his secret. This situation provoked a massive exodus of young soldiers and officers, of whom most were "Kadogos" native of Kivu. Fortunately, some managed to join Europe and were able to give their testimonies, whereas several others were caught up in their attempt to escape and were executed without any lawsuit. In his killing frenzy, Joseph Kabila, to reach his final goal, sacrificed several other bright Congolese officers. To illustrate his dark journey, some of the most well known cases are pinned up below: b) Commander Martin TSHIMANGA MBIE case He assumed the function of General Secretary of the Logistics and military Supply of the FAC when he was struck by a violent death in the night of 23 till 24 November 1999 in Kinshasa. Appointed to this post by general Franois OLENGA in November 1998, Major Tshimanga Mbies mission constisted in

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 17

forwarding the military equipment intended for the governmental troops on the various fronts inside the country. But curiously, general Olenga and Joseph Kabila made last minute changes to the official destination and ordered him to deliver this military equipment to the enemy troops. For example, this case which occurred in August 1999 when Major Tshimanga received the order to go on a mission to Mbuji Mayi to provide the troops of the Congolese Armed Forces in the battlefront. At the last minute, he received general Olengas order to deliver these equipment and medicines to LUBAU in CABINDA, where the Rwandan troops were based! As he could no longer bear his superiorss betrayal, the Major Tshimanga Mbie took to denounce them to the Head of State LD Kabila where he sought an audience. Warned by their men placed around the president of the Republic, Joseph Kabila and Franois Olenga preemed him. A death squad caught him up and coldly executed him in his bedroom, before he could inform LD Kabila. This case is the best known because the victims family engaged with all the judicial authorities of the DRC and a complaint was registered with them. Several requests were sent to the political and judicial authorities worldwide among which the King of the Belgians whose cabinet acknowledged receipt without further action!

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 18

c) Execution of three ex-FAZ generals As for Major Tshimanga, three very valuable general officers ex-FAZ have known the same fate. These officers, in spite of serving in the Zairean Armed Forces under Mobutu, were very appreciated by LD Kabila for their competence. All three They commanded military operations to the battlefront. Having noticed, after inquiry, that the dispatched war equipment was systematically hijacked by Joseph Kabila, they were about to notify president LD Kabila of the high treason he was victim of from his "son" when they were snatched by the Joseph Kabila's unforgivable machine. A fake genuine document from the Rwandan services made them dangerous "traitors" collaborating with Rwanda to eliminate president LD Kabila! But in reality these three officers were as much a threat as an obstacle to Joseph Kabilas mission process. So, having received the authorization from his "father", Joseph Kabila proceeded to the execution of these three highly valuable general officers in ANKORO in 1999. These were: - major general MULIMBI MABILO - brigadier BEKAZWA BAKUNDULU, mecano N.004142X - brigadier NGWALA But the cynical aspect of this situation is that each of these betrayal operations constitued positive points for Joseph: the more he denounced "traitors" and important "moles", the more he gained his "father"s trust who believed this was about dedication and righteousness worthy of a "son". Brutus has finally seen his record beaten in Congo!

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 19

d) A long series of murdered officers We would need to write several books if we wanted to describe all the testimonies of the eyewitnesses which attended or participated in the numerous murders of hundreds of thousands Congolese soldiers in the battlefront and in Kinshasa on Joseph Kabilas orders, either as department head of military intelligence of M' Zee, or as chief of staff of the ground Forces of the FAC. But we can quote some cases of very known officers which were murdered in Kinshasa after the failed invasion of 1998-1999: colonel TSHEKE MUAKA MANKETE, mecano N.162262E, former commander(major) of the Military Superior Center (CSM) of the 2nd Republic, colonel NTONDELE MITHAY, mecano N. 170472R colonel KAJUBA SELENGE MADUWA, mecano N. 161982N colonel VONDI NZITA colonel NDOMA MUTEKE To this list it is necessary to add other officers, killed in 2006, of which most were poisoned, namely colonels: NZALE and PAPEDOA, NYASWA, KATALIKO, MAZABA, MBELENGA

OPANGO-DEKE. We also need to remind the murders, in September 2006, of Major GBONOBE, former Director of the Computing service in the Military Integration Structure (SMI), and of Captain SUMAILI, the former presidential pilot, both meanly murdered in their own residence.

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 20

To the targeted eliminations of Congolese superior officers who constituted obstacles to Joseph Kabila's ascent, it is important to add the massacre of FAC troops : in the night of 23 till 24 November 2000, when Joseph Kabila, then chief of staff of the ground Forces of the FAC, brought the Congolese troops in an ambush to facilitate the fall of the city of PUETO in the hands of the Rwandan troops. The fall of this strategic city had to open the royal way to Kagame towards Lubumbashi. Numerous testimonies of the still alive witnesses confirm that the brigadier Joseph Kabila, chief of staff of the ground Forces, ordered his majors to finish all the Congolese soldiers wounded on battlefields so that the retreat of the troops towards Lubumbashi would not be delayed! Now there were more than 350 soldiers and Congolese officers wounded on the battlefield!!! The Congolese officers shocked and revolted of of their general criminal behavior, tried to shoot him down. Joseph Kabila owed his safety to the fastness of his escape aboard a helicopter which brought him back to Lubumbashi from where he got back to Kinshasa. Even today, officers and Congolese soldiers are ready to testify against Joseph Kabila for his war crimes!

ASSASSINATION OF LAURENT-DESIRE KABILA : These dark zones one do not want to enlight
LD Kabilas death has already poured a lot of ink without the mystery which surrounds him was unveiled. Far from us the idea to

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 21

supply here the hidden causes and the definitive identity of the real authors of this tragedy which henceforth makes the Congolese politics a saga. However, while discovering some circumstances which preceded and followed the tragedy of LD Kabilas murder in the direct line of Joseph Kabila's ascent towards the summit of the power, we can only be upset with the concordance, the coherence and the convergence of these facts which place LD Kabilas "son" in the very center of the scene. Thus let us examine the main elements that were set before the tragedy strictly speaking:

ACT I : Kinshasa, October 2000 : Mrs SIFA Mahanyas arrest Mrs wrongly as SIFA MAHANYA, Kabila presented biological

being

Joseph

mother (we shall come back to it), is really Congolese and it is one of the numerous declared or known "wives" of LD Kabila with whom she had 6 children named: Josphine, Ccile, Masengo, Gloria, Kiki and Maguy. Mrs Sifa lived with her husband in the Marble Palace, the official residence of the Head of State when at the end of October of the year 2000, LD Kabila has a severe discomfort after a meal. The medical examinations immediately practised diagnose a poisoning. The investigations led by the presidential security staff raise a bundle of serious indications of assumption converging on Mrs SIFA, who is accused of attempt murder on her husband and is immediately arrested on order of LD Kabila and imprisoned in the prison center of Makala in pavilion N. 10.

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 22

ACT II : Kinshasa, 11 January 2001 : the exfiltration of Mrs Sifa from the prison center Behind his "father"s back, Joseph

Kabila organises the prisoner to be removed from her cell, with the complicity of the director of the prison, Mr Kelly DIDO KITUNGUA. Mrs Sifa Mahanya is immediately secretely transferred to Lubumbashi where she is accommodated in a discrete place. ACT III : Lubumbashi, 12 January 2001: to cancel his trip to Cameroun The day after the removal of Mrs Sifa Mahanya, Joseph Kabila contacts his "father" who was preparing to fly to Cameroon to take part at the Summit of the French-speaking world. Joseph advises LD Kabila not to go to Cameroon on the basis of reliable intelligence in his possession information, about a plot against the president of DRC. LD Kabila who deeply trusts his "son" cancels his trip to Cameroon. From Lubumbashi, where he was, the Head of State get back directly to Kinshasa. LD Kabila is advised to

ACT IV : Kinshasa, 15 January 2001 : Joseph Kabila orders the disarmament of the garrison of Kinshasa, then he leaves hastily to Lubumbashi. The day before the tragedy, on order of Joseph Kabila, all military of the FAC garrison of Kinshasa are disarmed without any explanation. Much more, colonel Eddy Kapend receives Joseph Kabila's strict orders to proceed to the arrest of the Head of the External

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 23

Management Intelligence (ANR / OF), Mr Ismal Tutwemoto. It is Mr Leta Mangasa, the ANR Chief General Administrator general-in chief who executes this arrest. After having taken all these apparently "inexplicable" measures, Joseph Kabila quicly and discreetly flies to Lubumbashi from where he makes a mysterious trip outside the country. ACT V : Kinshasa, 16 January 2001 : LD Kabila is killed In the middle-day, shots blast between the Marble Palace walls, the presidential residence. LD Kabila, seriously wounded to his head, dies a short time later, even before being loaded on the helicopter which transports him to the Private hospital Ngaliema. It is at nightfall that Joseph Kabila gives the order to open NDjili airport closed since the announcement of the attempted coup, specially for him, to allow the landing of his plane from Lubumbashi! This behaviour of Joseph Kabila seems at the least strange! How come a son, who scrupulously watched his "father" security until the day before, and who advise the cancellation of his trip to Cameroon because an imminent deadly danger, how come after the announcement of the attack on his "father", this "son" remained cloistered in Lubumbashi, at only 2 hours flight from Kinshasa, and joins the capital only at the end of the day, several hours after his "father"s death? Where had he spent the day? What did he match do all this time? Where did he really come from? Was Lubumbashi not a diversion? So many questions over the underlying causes of LD Kabilas death should have been investigated. However, for our

country, we have been working for years now. And today, numerous recorded testimonies are examined and scrutinised.

The formal testimonies of the Congolese medical staff who had received helicopter LD Kabila body at the landing strongly confirm

that the Congolese president had died well before his arrival to the private hospital. However, Joseph Kabila, who had taken control of the operations around " his father ", ordered the transfer of LD Kabilas body to Harare in Zimbabwe! He then multiplied deceitful communiqus addressed to the Congolese people to persuade them that his president was well. Dominique Sakombi knows about it! Why thus this masquerade and this macabre

mouvements around the mortal remains of a president of the Republic? Another mystery! But the detailed file of the LD Kabila murder will be the subject of another statement. ACT VI : Kinshasa : During the funerals, Sifa Mahanya is presented to the public as the "weeping widow", and then as Joseph Kabilas "biological mother"! During LD Kabilas funerals

starting in Harare and ending 23 January 2001 with the burial in Kinshasa, Mrs Sifa Mahanya, the prisoner removed from her cell 5 days before M'Zee assassination and

hidden in Lubumbashi so far, gets out of her hiding place and is propelled on the national front scene. She is suddenly presented to the national and international press as " the weeping widow " of the deceased president and the biological "mother" of Joseph Kabila who has just taken his "father"s seat in the conditions which we know. And here we are, the buckle is buckled! However, in his lifetime, throughout the war and during his mandate to the head of the country, LD Kabila never officially introduced the " first lady " to the Congolese people, in other words: his official wife among his dozen of wives! And, the one that was presented as "the weeping widow" had been removed from prison where she was held for attempted murder on her husband by poisoning. And the author of this removal is the very one who has taken the seat of the victim, and of which Mrs Sifa gives for the very first time, the honorable testimony of being "the biological mother". Do you get the picture? The final stage setting for this strategy contains vulgar mistakes which call to all Congolese in the tragedy the Democratic Republic of Congo is going through.

IN CONCLUSION
People of all over the world show, through their respective highest constitutions, of the a particular requirement of the on the This authenticity of the origin of the men or women who run for the office management country. requirement, far from translating some feeling of xenophobia or discrimination, rather conveys the concern of every people to watch and protect their sovereignty and their national integrity.

Why thus would the International Community want to deprive only the Congolese people to enjoy this legitimate right? If we compare the various constitutions of the African countries, to speak only about Africa, we notice that every people formulate their requirements about the origin of the candidates for the position of President of the Republic, according to their own specificities. But whatever are the differences of conditions levels, all without exception, express their need to guarantee the authenticity of the original identity of the candidates. Let us browse some cases in Africa: 1) EGYPT : Constitution of 11 September 1971 revised 20 May 1980 Article 75 The president of the Republic must be Egyptian of Egyption father and mother, have his civil and political rights and be at least fortyyears-old, calculated according to the Gregorian calendar. 2) IVORY COAST : Constitution of July 2000 Article 35 The candidate for the presidential election must be at least forty-yearold and seventy-five years in most. He must from Ivory Coast origin, arisen from father and mother themselves of Ivory Coast origin. He must never have given up the Ivory Coast nationality. He must never have taken another nationality.

3) ALGERIA : Constitution of 28 February 1989 revised 18 November 1996 Article 73 To be eligible to the presidency of the Republic, the candidate must: Be only the Algerian nationality of origin. Be of Muslim confession. Be past forty on the day of the election. Have the plenitude of their civil and political rights. Give evidence of the Algerian nationality of the spouse: prove the participation in the revolution of November 1st, 1954 for the candidates born before 1942. Give evidence of the non involvement of the candidates parents born after 1942, in hostile acts to the revolution of November 1st, 1954 ;

4) GABON : Constitution of 26 March 1991 modified by the law 1895 of September 29th, 1995 adopted by referendum on July 23rd, 1995 Article 10 Gabonese of both gender enjoying their civil and political, forty-yearold laws at least and of seventy years in most are eligible in the presidency of the republic. Every person having acquired the nationality cannot appear as candidate at the presidency of the republic. Only his descendance having lived without discontinuity in Gabon from the fourth generation can As one can notice through the constitutions of four countries chosen at random, the problem of the identity and the origins of the candidates for the presidency of the republic is a major preoccupation for sovereign peoples.

Refondation of the Congo, APARECO in abbreviation, denounces the trickery and the current fraud in the Democratic Republic of Congo where, with the complicity of the Rwandan political and military authorities, a young Rwandan officer of the Rwandan army managed to infiltrate into the ranks of the Congolese army, and having raised himself to a commandment rank, took advantage of it to eliminate the embarrassing Congolese officers to monopolize finally the power at the top of the Congolese state, having proclaimed himself to be "Congolese" to legitimize his imposture and facilitate the occupation of the Eastern part of the Republic in favour of his Rwandan fellow countrymen! That is why we shall pursue the fight for the liberation Republic of of the Congo Democratic until the

forced or voluntary departure of the impostor and all the groups of his civil and military fellow countrymen infiltrated in our country, with the support and the complicity of their African and western allies.

If Joseph Kabila intends to protest against the truths exposed in this narrative, we thus invite him to confront us by supplying to the Congolese people and to the whole world the irrefutable evidence of his Congolese origin. The Congolese constitution requires that the candidate for the presidency of the republic arose

Joseph Kabila :From the hidden origins of the sphinx to his bloody entry in power APARECO 29

from Congolese father and Congolese mother. And because Joseph Kabila claims that LD Kabila and Sifa Mahanya (both genuine Congolese) are his biological parents, we call the challenge again by solemnly inviting him solemnly to organize a DNA test with neutral and sworn doctors to prove his filiation to the persons that he declares to be his parents. The Congolese people cannot understand that the international community formally forbade the opponents of Joseph Kabila to raise the issue of its nationality during the presidential election campaign, and that the same international community said nothing when Joseph Kabilas partners of PPRD and AMP raised the same problem of nationality at the level of the elections of the governors of province! Chase away the nature and it will soon come back, as it is said. The international community bungled the indispensable stage of the operation of the identification, with the only purpose of protecting their favourite pawn. And in spite of our protests and our warnings on the consequences of this grave omission, the CIAT did not hear and accused us of "xenophobia"! Today, the institutions of the young Republic (and the Parliament) are threatened with blockade because of the identity problem of the elected representatives! More of 150 elected representatives national turn out to be foreigners That is why the APARECO launches a pressing appeal to the men and women of good will, believing in justice and freedom for all the people without distinction of color nor wealth. We thus invite them to support our fight beside the deceived, humbled Congolese people, exploited and deprived of their dignity in a world where the values of freedom, justice and
