Subject: [Francophones] Monitoring on the situation in Goma
Message-ID: <727503.87300.qm@web28513.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>


 Dear All,
 
 I am writing this report to you monitoring the
 situation in North Kivu by
 telephone from Kindu.(situation on the 29th October), please there is some change on the ground.
 
 a) Situation in Goma
 
 Goma is quiet this morning after a night of horror
 created by retreating
 troops of the Congolese army. They shot and looted the
civilian population
 during the night. Many shops have been pillaged and
 hoouses broken into. A
 whole family (9 people including a breastfeeding baby)
 has been killed in
 Katindo area. Several corpses were found in the
 morning in the streets, the
 majority being the corpses of Congolese soldiers
 killed (presumably by the
 MONUC) while they rwere looting. Colleagues and
 partner organisation in Goma
 are all safe. Since yesterday afternoon, NGO and UN
 staff have been asked to
 regroup at assembly points designated by the MONUC for
 possible evacuation.
 This morning, Goma is almost a dead city as people are
 retrenched in their
 houses not knowing really know what is happening. 
 
 Yesterday evening, panic caused by retreating troops,
 by rumours of the CNDP
 entering Goma and by the movement of the displaced
 people from Kibumba who
 forced their way into Goma (they were blocked from
 entering Goma on Tuesday)
 created a displacement of a number of people toward
 the neighbouring Sake
 region in Masisi. Its is reported that most of those
 who left Goma for Sake
 are the families of the retreating Congolese soldiers.
 The majority of Goma
 population stayed at home.
  
 For the moment, it is not possible to evaluate the
 scale of the disaster
 created by this situation. We hope to get more
 information in the coming
 
 b) Situation in Lubero
 
 Lubero is a region situated +/-150 km North of Goma
 town. Since the beginning
 of the fighting, wounded soldiers and civilians
 together with other displaced
 peole have moved to Kanyabayonga, Kayna and Kirumba
 cities situated in
 Lubero. Yesterday, tension was noticed among the
 population following the
 increasing number of retreating troops and wounded
 soldiers in the region.
 All Internataional NGOs  have evacuated
 their personnel toward
 Butembo and Beni. It is feared that if Goma  fall 
 to the rebel, the
 retreating soldiers will commit brutalities on the
 population. Most of the
 displaced people in Kanyabayonga are the families of
 retreating soldiers,
 mostly their wives. We continue to monitor the
 situation and will keep you
 informed of the development.
 We need to be prepared for a rapid response to this
 situation. However, from
 the present point it is difficult to determine what will be next step of both groups. 
 Bishop Bahati of Bukavu Diocese will send you more update situation.
 
 Let us see how
 things develop during
 the coming weeks and please keep bound us together in Prayers. 
 
 Bishop Masimango Katanda

DRC: "People fled in all directions", says aid worker

GOMA, DR CONGO, 5 November 2008--The security situation in the
eastern Democratic Republic of Congo remains precarious and aid
groups do not yet know what effect the most recent violence will
have on the latest cease fire or humanitarian situation.

While some non-governmental organisations, including ACT
members, have been able distribute some small amounts of aid, no
one can provide any consistent assistance to those between Kibati
and Rutshuru, or identify where the nearly 50,000 former
inhabitants of the destroyed internally displaced persons (IDP)
camps have gone.

ACT members in eastern DRC continue to work together to respond
in the face of very difficult security and operational
circumstances. An ACT aid worker shared the following first-hand
report from an initial assessment mission:

---------------

The road to the rebel-held zone of Rutshuru was surprisingly
smooth -- not a single check point, very few soldiers on the
road, roadside commerce picking up little by little. Moreover, it
was probably the closest to a paved road I had ever seen in DRC.
However, the signs of last week’s fighting were visible in many
ways. Although many people had begun their way home from Kibati
where they had spent a week without shelter and food, a colorful
crowd of thousands of IDPs were still queuing up to receive a few
protein biscuits and some material assistance from the aid
agencies that were gradually resuming their aid operations after
the area was declared somewhat secure. 

Small groups of families were cautiously making their way home
by foot, with their few belongings on their heads, babies on
their backs and small children courageously keeping up the pace
of return. Arriving at the entry point to Kibumba, the signs of
the most intense combat of the year were evident: piles of empty
ammunition boxes and shells, torn off shirts and jackets of
soldiers with blood stains, and a massive telecom antenna that
had collapsed to the ground in the cross fire.

As we arrived in Rutshuru town, where we were supposed to stay
overnight, we began hearing shooting in the neighboring town of
Kiwanja. First it was just sporadic machine gun fire, but very
soon it turned into an exchange of heavy artillery fire. The
echoes of the fighting made it clear that there was no way for us
to get to Kiwanja - where we had expected to meet with local
church-based organisations that could have given us some
indication about where all the people had fled from the IDP camps
a few days ago. 

We had no choice but to return to Goma.

On the way back, we decided to stop in a village a few
kilometers south from Rutshuru town, and was also badly affected
by last week’s fighting. Heavy fighting lasted for three days,
during which the entire population of the village fled their
homes to other towns, just to return in a few days and find their
property looted and destroyed.
 
We had the chance to speak with the heads of two local
ACT-supported organisations to get information on the situation
after their own families returned home a few days ago. 

"Some displaced families were staying here in our compound, but
they were forcibly driven away. Then they told us that we too
must leave. They chased us away saying they would come here and
fight bitterly," said Elisabeth*, who runs one of the local
organisations.

She and her family fled to a neighboring village along with the
IDPs that they had been accommodating in their home. As soon as
the echo of bombs and gunfire silenced, they returned to see what
was left of their property. Almost 40 houses were completely
destroyed and entire families inside those houses were dead.
Another 170 houses were badly damaged by bullets and grenade
fire. 

Elisabeth’s house was fortunately still standing, but the
office of her organisation was looted. "They slept right here in
this space, and here in the office and the warehouse they just
took everything they could: sewing machines, the computer -
everything. And the rest of the things are just broken and thrown
all over," she said shaking her head while taking us to a tour of
the ravaged offices.

"Look, they even slaughtered and ate our animals! Not one goat,
not one chicken to be found," she said pointing at the empty shed
where they used to have a small livestock breeding project for
the benefit of vulnerable women.

We asked if they had any idea where all of the IDPs that had
been expelled from the nearby camps had gone. Elisabeth sighed
heavily. "Regardless to all we have been through here... we are
lucky to be back in our homes, even the water supply is still
working. Those from the camps… they were dispersed to all
directions. Most of them rather hide somewhere because they are
afraid."
 
Elisabeth told that some of the IDPs had no choice but to try
and cross the Virunga National Park area to go towards the town
of Kanyabayonga in the northwest. The areas to both north and
south were battle fronts, and some were not able to get across to
the eastern side of the village as fighting had already begun.

"Many of them died on the way - so many. You know there’s
nothing to be found in the park. No water, no food. The weakest
just died out of thirst and exhaustion. Especially children,
pregnant women, old and ill people… The quantity of miscarriages…
and the amount of cases of sexual violence, I don’t even dare
to count."

By the time we finished our interview, Elisabeth was already
busy thinking what measures she could take to start helping
others, while the sound of the machine guns echoing from
neighboring Rutshuru and Kiwanja only seemgged to be getting
close

DRC: 'Invisible' displaced and host families at risk.

GOMA, DR CONGO, 10 November 2008--While official figures of
newly displaced people in crowded camps around Goma are still
being determined, another reality of displacement remains in the
shadows: the thousands of families who have opened their modest
homes to fleeing strangers. Although these displaced persons do
not appear to be immediately at risk of malnutrition and disease
like those jammed into camps, they are weighing on the meager
resources of their hospitable host families -- and feeling
undignified for having to do so.

In a meeting last week with a pastor in the western suburb of
Keshero outside of Goma, an ACT assessment team learned of the
needs within the area. The pastor had compiled a list of host
families with the numbers of people each was housing.

As many aid groups work to assist those in displaced person
camps, ACT members are working through church and local networks
to identify needs and prioritise assistance for the largely
'invisible' displaced families and the increasingly vulnerable
communities who are hosting them. Initial plans for assistance
include support for an estimated 60,000 people, as well as water
and sanitation support for significantly more families.

According to the local pastor's list, Maria Buira's family had
opened their doors to 18 people that had fled from Masisi. Among
the people that she accommodated was her elderly mother along
with a group from the same village.

Standing at the entrance of her small wooden house in the heat
of the midday sun, Maria said, "I couldn’t turn them away, but
as they became too many, I started to look for other places for
some of them to stay. My house is small, you see.” She
identified the owner of an unfinished brick building around the
corner and convinced him to unlock the gate to allow additional
displaced families to camp at the construction site.

At the unfinished doorstep of the skeleton of a brick house,
three families camp under the clumsily erected roof. Twagira, a
23-year-old mother of four children was sitting on a pile of
bricks, holding her six-month-old youngest child, who was born
into displacement. Twagira and her husband had left their village
of Tongo for the first time in January.

"We came all the way to Goma, because there was no security
closer to our home village. By April we decided to return to at
least try and cultivate our fields and produce a living… but had
to flee again in July. Here in Goma we are at the mercy of
others, there’s no land to cultivate. My husband goes out in
town every day and looks for little things to do here and there
to get paid 200, 300 francs [less than US $0.50] for doing small
things for others," said Twagira.

In addition to poor shelter conditions for some families, the
vulnerability of host communities is also increasing. With the
arrival of those who fled, the need for firewood can double or
triple for long periods of time and the surrounding environment
is beginning to suffer from deforestation.

Twagira did not pronounce a word of complaint about their
current living conditions at the construction site. When asked if
they were uncomfortable at the construction site, she said,
"There are no latrines. When it rains the water comes inside. We
do not have mats, we sleep on those rocks… We just want to go
home."

Byamungu, an 18-year-old young man who assisted the ACT team
with their visit to the community, looked at children returning
from school with envy. "I was in the third grade of secondary
school back home. I did not run away under gun fire -- I left
because I heard the war was coming. And every time the war is
coming, they come to the villages and recruit young boys by
force. I did not want to become a fighter. I want to go back to
school, but now I’m just concerned about helping out the family
that is housing us here. I spend all day looking for small
errands to do, to be able to bring at least something back to our
host family at the end of the day."

Many of these 'invisible' displaced families have already fled
twice in a period of six months. An elderly couple, Papa Banzoa
and Mama Pascaline, now staying at Maria’s house, arrived in
Goma after the latest wave of fighting. Although the sounds of
battle were not yet heard in their village of Munigi, the crowd
of people fleeing towards Goma worried the old couple.

"We saw all these people running, running, so we decided to
leave too. We are old and weak, so we just walked slowly until we
reached Goma. We did not bring anything with us. By the time we
got to the borders of the town, the crowd with whom we started to
flee had dispersed here and there. We were among the last ones to
reach Goma. These people kindly opened their home to us, we are
just staying here for now," Papa Banzoa explained, who is ill and
has no means to get treatment.

As violence ensues, families continue to run for their lives
leaving everything they had just rebuilt to be destroyed once
more. Maria’s mother, who had fled to Goma from Kitchanga
earlier this year, said that she heard from other people from her
village that her house had been looted and that there was little
left. When asked whether she plans to return, she replied: "Let
me ask you something: Is it over? Is there no more war? Why go
back just to run again?"
