I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Congo pledges crackdown on fighters threatening neighbouring Rwanda

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) – Congolese President Joseph Kabila has pledged to use troops massing in eastern Congo to disarm and send home former Rwandan soldiers blamed in that country’s 1994 genocide. Kabila’s promise appeared to be a conciliatory gesture toward Rwanda, where U.S. diplomats went Wednesday in a bid to curb rising tensions and put an end to talk of renewed war between the two neighbours. Rwanda has accused Congo of beefing up forces in its east in recent weeks as a prelude to an invasion of Rwanda, Congo’s chief foreign enemy during a 1998-2002 central African war here that also drew in the armies of four other African nations. “We are doing everything possible to make sure that the current developments in eastern (Congo) are solved peacefully,” Donald Yamamoto, the U.S. undersecretary for African affairs, told reporters in Kigali, the Rwandan capital. Yamamoto spoke after talks with Rwandan President Paul Kagame. He met Congolese leaders in Kinshasa a day earlier. Congo is in the process of deploying three to four brigades, with a total of nearly 9,000 men, to the east, Defence Minister Jean-Pierre Ondekane said Wednesday. Congo insists the deployment is aimed at fighting insurgents in the vast, lawless east, and integrating the army there. “The military deployment in the east will reinforce the security of the civil population, restore state authority in this area of the state, and neutralize all armed groups that try to oppose or impede the transition process,” Kabila said Wednesday read on state TV. The Congolese troops will also work with the United Nations (news – web sites) mission – and its 10,800 peacekeepers – in “the process of disarmament, demobilization and repatriation . . . of the forces of the ex-Rwandan army” that remain in Congo, said Kabila’s statement, read by spokesman Kudura Kasonga. In Kigali, Rwanda’s army spokesman said Kabila needed to do more – purge alleged Rwandan insurgents from Congo’s rebuilding army, disarm them, and ship them home. “We have no evidence that the (Rwandan insurgents) have been removed, and that is why we are worried” over its deployment in eastern Congo, Col.
