Done at Kinshasa, 14 July 2016
Joseph Kabila
https://virungamountains.org
For the Head of State, this solar plant is a palliative, temporary solution before making the commitment to undertake completion of Katende dam work already carried out at 65%. Also in the governorate installations, Joseph Kabila cut the symbolic ribbon Transkac company, taking on board a bus to the main entrance to the SNCC station to return to the starting point. The President of the Republic program provides today inspection of construction of the regional road Kananga Mbuji-Kalamba. It will return to Kananga on Wednesday where he will receive the notables of the province, before returning to Kinshasa by road the same day
* The Head of State sent two messages to the people of Kananga. The first is decentralization. “I’d like to ask people to support this process because, ultimately, the goal is the development of the province, in a special way, the country in general.” The second concerns the electoral process. “At the same time, at the end of this month, on July 31, we must begin the enrollment process,” he said, drawing the attention of Kasai on the consequences of the boycott call launched by some politicians particular passage in this city
The Head of State Joseph Kabila arrived yesterday in Kananga, capital of central Kasai province, where he proceeded in stride at the inauguration of the solar plant built by the South African company Megatron. This fitted solar power plant in the southern governorate of central Kasai province has improved electricity service in the city of Kananga, which was private for over 40 years.
The Head of State supported his thumb on the “magic button” (the term of the Governor Alex Kande) and electricity expected long ago the waters of the Inga hydroelectric complex and rather Katende river comes the sun . Palliative, temporary solution, is immediately remarked President Joseph Kabila in his speech, with a commitment to undertake completion of Katende dam work already carried out at 65%. Also in the governorate facilities, the Head of State cut the symbolic ribbon Transkac society, and boarded a bus to the main entrance to the SNCC station to return to the point departure. Between the two events, he spoke, through the kanangaise population, Kasai center in particular and the Congolese in general …
In his performance, while relaxed because Kanangais come to offer him a bath memorable crowd, President Joseph Kabila recalled the commitment made in 2011, during the election campaign. One to return to this city even though its local electoral score is not significant as he had asked her suffrage. He returned there to pay the debt at this time: that of energy. Hence, the project Katende dam to cover the electricity needs for Greater Kasai.
However, due to the delay in completion of the work, he said he gave bail to the draft submitted to it by the Governor of the central Kasai: the use of solar energy, Kananga having an appropriate degree of sunshine. At this social message, the Head of State added a political message with two specific themes. The first is decentralization. “I’d like to ask people to support this process because, ultimately, the goal is the development of the province, in a special way, the country in general.”
The second, on the electoral process. “At the same time, at the end of this month, on July 31, we must begin the enrollment process,” he said, drawing the attention of Kasai on the consequences of the boycott call by passing some politicians including Kananga.
“I would like that this time, you listen to me. Especially you young people who have accompanied us to the airport so far. I know 90% of you do not have a voter card. ” The logical consequence: those who will participate in this process are likely to be candidates in the forthcoming elections. Those who will not do so will be neither voters nor eligible. For the President of the Republic, the primary objective in the medium term, the renewal of the political class.
visionary leadership
In his introduction, the Governor Alex Kande – who managed a real achievement in mobilizing its population – welcomes the first visit of Rais in the new central Kasai province. Supporting efforts by the Head of State “to mark the future through Dialogue” which he calls “a pledge of peace and national cohesion,” it renews its commitment to work under his visionary leadership. This leadership called upon to solve, among others, the perennial problem of lack of electricity with its corollary drinking water.
The formula found is that of coupling the solar plant (for 1 MW) with the power plant (2.5 MW), totaling 3,5MW fully covering the needs of Kananga, which are 1.9 MW. The governor expects the social and economic benefits of improving living of its population.
Thus, the whole world will have to remember that this is the reign and the leadership of President Joseph Kabila that moved the country and Francophone Central Africa the first symmetrical central “solar-thermal”. He had to do that, the “public-private” partnership Enerkac (Energy Kasai Central) and Snel; production equipment having been delivered by the South African company Megatron. The governor will complete his speech with the announcement of roadworks going to Angola in order to put the province to reach the port of Lobito on the Atlantic.
Let’s say the program of the President of the Republic provides today inspection of construction of the regional road Kananga Mbuji-Kalamba. It will return to Kananga on Wednesday where he will receive the notables of the province, before returning to Kinshasa by road the same day.

Criminals of the worst kind that are currently causing insomnia OPP and nightmares to peaceful inhabitants of Kintambo and Ngaliema continue to report for months, in three neighboring districts. This new triangle of insecurity is located between Jamaica Luka camp and My Country. Grouped in several bands of criminals who for war names Masasi, Commando, Mbeli-Mbeli, Red Brigade, Tungle and others operate on several fronts.
On a first level, offenders run the streets in the late hours, questioning pedestrians and extorting their valuables. Always walk, they target night owls who, in the early hours of the morning, come back too late nights. Eyes heavy with sleep, staggering slightly dimmed by a glass too, the people of Jamaica and Ma Campagne fall into the clutches of these rogue elements that strip them of their mobile phones, bank notes and other jewelry.These criminals, who come from Luka Selembao Camp familiar typography of Jamaica neighborhood where they come before the day, locate all the crossing points between the Makelele river and neighborhood Ma Campagne. At first clash with elements of the police, they borrow steep trails and disappear through the bushes, before returning to their stronghold which would be at the cemetery Kintambo.
On a second level, the thugs armed with weapons of war, conducting armed robberies in the homes of big
fortunes of the area not guarded by police and military.
The Nganda Avenue, porous border between Jamaica and the neighborhood Ma Campagne district, offers an ideal setting for robberies because the darkness that prevails at night in the area. of robbers
vehicles whose headquarters is based at Camp Luka, indulge in armed extortion. Recall that this is the part
Ngaliema as licensed criminals had killed a member of the Military High Court, came to exchange a few tickets dollars.
According users of this road, the darkness helping, many Packages are perpetrated by bandits lawless.Modus operand: simulated car breakdown on this avenue, some shrubs scattered here and there to prevent the danger, forcing other motorists to reduce speed to overcome this obstacle. of the rogue elements including a strong presence these days is found Recently, at Luka camp, then come out of hiding, encircle
vehicle of potential victims, snapped ignition keys of the automotive and submit their unmarked car running.
The victims are crying abandoned to their fate, the edge of the road where they lived a live steer. emotion
felt that night, can not be described without mentioning fear intense that knocked the driver and passengers during those few times when a slightest misstep on their part, could some fatal cases of this robbery.
Certainly they were unharmed, but depressed and traumatized. he is now the duty of the police to actively seek, find the stolen car and hunt down the bandits who are still on the run.
On a third level, there domiciliary visits gunmen in My Country. Three Alleys Avenue of the Ring Place
commercial, to name a few famous arteries very popular, local residents have registered since the beginning of this year of armed robbery by criminals who generally, are assisted and guided to the homes of people
considered affluent by their neighbors.
At the provincial police, insecurity recorded these Recently, would likely be the sum of many acts banditry, petty crime, and flight in extremist.
Bad coincidence, Kinshasa saw the eruption of violence Kuluna stables.
We can take comfort in the idea that in light of the instructions received National Executive, the police authorities have mobilized their troops to be redeployed foot patrols in Kinshasa, through neighborhoods and towns plagued by insecurity.
The organization of these patrols, we believe, can lead skirmishes with bandits, hence it is recommended that night walks are limited to those required by emergencies medical and other.https://virungamountains.org

By analogy, the apartheid in the rsa had a “secret comint”, Installed in Malawi, in rhodesia and comoros that “brought to light the importance that cassinga had to the namibians”.
Other features of the eagle ” is the strength, the boldness, the courage ” and ” attacks normally live animals, likes fresh meat, hunting during the day and can stay hours flying due to its great resistance “. The attack of the apartheid regime, the cassinga, adds the military, also “looks like the work of an eagle, because there was a lot of people, especially young people” fleeing the South-West Africa (Namibia) today and did not know the capacity of the sadf to fly 500 Miles in the mainland of Angola, carrying 356 paratroopers militiamen ready for the kill.
” it has been so that the author called his work as ‘Eagle strike'”, Says the angolan military.
Why cassinga
Cassinga was an area where the refugees were like those who escaped the racist apartheid regime in South-West Africa.
The ” Operation Reindeer ” was an imitation of ” Operation Silver Fox ” (” Silver Fox “, In German), Joint Military Action Finnish-German during the second world war, with the aim of taking the important Soviet Port of murmansk, with attacks from the territories of Finland and Norway.
The Massacre of cassinga began on the morning of the 4th of may 1978. was the second major military operation in South Africa in Angola, after the “Operation Savanna”, Intervention of the sadf to prevent the independence of Angola between 1975-76 and who became responsible for the start of the war in Angola that only ended on 4 April 2002, with the death of Jonas Savimbi. The massacre has been through two separate attacks: the refugee camp of cassinga and delegation of swapo in chetequera, 250 miles and 15 miles south of the border, respectively.
The South African operation consisted in the first place, in an attack by the 2. th Infantry Regiment, South African delegations of swapo in chetequera and dombondola, near the border between Namibia and Angola. Secondly, an attack by the 32. th Battalion to the headquarters of the swapo in omepepa-Namuidi-Henhombe, 20 miles east of chetequera.
Finally, the great massacre was carried out by paratroopers of the sadf cassinga, a refugee camp and regional headquarters of Swapo, situated 260 kilometres in the interior of Angola.
The attacks lasted six days and just finished the 10 May 1978.
Background
With the independence of Mozambique and Angola, the apartheid regime felt in danger. The Then Prime Minister of South Africa, John Vorster, gave orders, in December 1977, for tougher actions against the swapo and preventive attacks in Angola. All the external operational plans would have to have the approval of vorster.
The first namibian refugees started coming to cassinga in April 1976. at the time, with the freedom conquered by angolans, the namibians who were in the South-West of Zambia since the beginning of the 1970 s, felt safer in the south Of Angola.
Three companies from the 32. th Battalion of Colonel Jan breytenbach – considered by many as the best tactical unit of Africa since the days of scipio, “the African”, And its roman legions during the punic wars – have advanced to the first target, with the 1. th company to protect the troops of artillery, while the 5. th company was kept in reserve. The moments following the massacre (” Operation Reindeer “, To Apartheid), Are described in the book “Eagle strike”: ” on the line for attacking the first target, it was requested artillery fire to soften the target. During the 8th of may, the helicopters of the saaf were added to the plan of attack and the soldiers of the 32. th battalion airborne were of a target to the other, having attacked, that day, five bases of swapo. On The 9th of may, the operation was resumed without air support, taking the foundations been attacked throughout the day. The 10th of may was followed by new attacks against the foundations that were being abandoned by the forces of Swapo, resulting in some units of the 32. th Battalion had to go back to the board of the border. Although the operation had officially ended on the 10th of may, the last base was attacked in the early morning of 11 may, with all the forces of the sadf to return to the border around 10 scrub of the day 11 May.
The Mass Graves
” when the news about the first attacks have been reported in the South African Television, the movie made by the sadf on cassinga were interspersed with images of chetequera. The movie about chetequera was useful for the sadf, because in chetequera there really was a military force of swapo. The idea that cassinga was a military camp almost passed, it wasn’t for the work done by a team of the united nations which visited the site of the massacre, at the request of the government of Angola and the swapo. It was the un who took the first images of the huge mass grave where people lay the bodies of over 400 men, women and children “, Describes the angolan military dedicated to issues of defense.
The Journalist Jane Bergerol, the newspaper “the guardian”, It was of the first people who were at the scene and photographed the ditch. Jane has followed the entire phase of the war of destabilisation of South Africa against the states of the front line and the anti-Apartheid struggle led by the ANC. When he saw the reality in cassinga, horrified, said: ” the first thing I saw were dresses and colourful shirts, pants ‘ jeans and sweaters and very few uniforms. There were signs that these clothes they were wearing the people that were there dead. Swollen and stained with blood, these bodies belonged to girls and young boys, some grown men and some teenagers, all seemingly close of Namibia “.
In the picture to illustrate the work of Jane Bergerol that was published in ” the guardian ” of London of 10 may 1978, the caption is: ” mass grave containing more than 400 bodies of namibians massacred by South African troops. Photo taken four days after the attack “.
The attack of the racist army of South Africa on the morning of 4 May 1978 in cassinga ” resulted not only in a carnage and mass destruction, in time and space, but seeped into the collective memory of the people of Angola and Namibia of the need to continue to fight to the overthrow of apartheid “, Comments on the angolan military analyst.
After 38 years of the heinous crime against humanity which was the massacre of cassinga, Namibia is independent, South Africa has abolished the apartheid regime of apartheid and the countries of Southern Africa build with sadc a partnership for development. But the question that arises is why this massacre committed by Generals South Africans who are alive, and that even today boast that attack on human rights, which dismembered families whose survivors are in these days crying your loved ones Dear, are not judged by the international court in the Hague. For The International Criminal Court (ICC) should be taken every criminal South Africans who participated in the massacre of cassinga.
The Colonel Frans boats, one of the fellow of jan breytenbach which contributed to the publication of the book “Eagle strike”, Besides not be held responsible for the crime, you still have the courage to write the following words: ” back in the 4th of may 1978 we made history, jumping for operations in the biggest launch of paratroopers since world War II. I also believe that it was the most successful, if not the only one, launch completely successful in history. Jan Breytenbach proved to be exactly the right man to accomplish something like this “.https://virungamountains.org
