{UAH} COMRADE KAMPE- YOU HAVE MAILO FROM BOSCO

The RCD-Kisangani goverment of Prof Wamba set up bases in the town of Bunia. The Kampala political attaches - Otafire, Mayombo and Waphakhabulo tried to reorganise the RCD-Kisangani. Kazini who was not confortable with the presense of the the three Kampala political leaders sought to weaken Prof. Wamba by formenting internal rivarly within RCD-Kisangani. He helped Prof. Wamba's former Minister- Mbusa Nyamwisi to split from the RCD-Kisangani and form the RCD-ML. The NRA was by now helping with recruitment, training and arming of militants for the three groups i.e Prof. Wamba's RCD-K, Mbusa Nyamwisi's RCD-ML and Bemba's MLC. Earlier on Prof. Wamba's body guard - Bosco Ntaganda who had been injured during the Kisangani clashes had been flown by the NRA to South Africa for medical treatment. After treatment, Bosco Ntaganda had remained in Kampala under CMI. When tension between Wamba and Nyamwisi reached a boiling point, the NRA flew Ntaganda back to Bunia and put him in charge of Wamba's security detail. Prof. Wamba rejected the Ntaganda group that also included Mugabo and Mukalai among othes. Wamba argued that the Ntaganda group were Rwandese being planted on him to spy and assasinate him. 

With the help of the NRA, Prof. Wamba's former Minister of Finance - Tibasiima Akiiki welcomed and shelttered the Ntaganda group and used them to put in place a Hema army. A recruitment centre was set up in Bunia town at the former NBC bank building. A training school was set up at Rwampara near the airstrip and run by the NRA Military Police. The agricultralist Lendus who are arch rivals of the pastrolist Hemas also took steps to rise an army and the NRA was at hand to help them too. At this moment Mbusa Nyamwisi who is a Mugegere by tribe had sided with the Lendus and Bangiti tribesmen. Several rounds of Clashes between Lendus and Hemas left tremendous loss of human life, destruction and displacement. 

Uganda was not yet done with the loss of Kisangani. The Commanding Office of the NRA Bunia based 53rd Battallion, Maj. David Muhoozi flew a Bafasende Based Businesman - Roger Lumbala to meet Museveni in Kampala. After the meeting, RCD-National was born with Lumbala as its President. The plan was for the NRA to help RCD-K to rise a force that would be backed by the NRA to dislodge RPA from Kisangani. Museveni ordered 53rd Battallion to proceed to Bafasende for this task. Its departure from Bunia town left a big security gap. Only one Tank, a small squad of NRA intelligence operatives and Military police was left to secure the fragile Bunia town. 53rd Bn was an elite unit and part of the Presidential Protection Unit. Roger Lumbala recently fled the DRC where he was a Senator and is now in Kampala with the M23 peace team. 

Prof. Wamba accused Bosco Ntaganda of training militias to overthrow him. Tension rose high between the rival congolese factions in Bunia town. A battalion of recruits trained for the Mbusa faction at Nyalake in Bunia under NRA's Col. Burundi was hastly flown to the NRA headquarters in Bombo. In Bombo they were issued with uniforms and AK 47 assault rifles manufuctured from NRA arms industry in Nakasongola and clearly engraved UG. They were flown back to Bunia and placed under the Command of Commander Claude who was a Nande by tribe.
