Earlier in 2001, the NRA Gbadolite based 19th Bn led the Congolese MLC militias to intervene in the Central African Republic (CAR) capital Bangui to surpress an uprising led by former President Andre Kolingba. They successfully put down the mutiny though they comitted a number of attrocities. The former President Andre Kolingba together with his son were taken hostage by the NRA, flown to Kampala and kept in a CMI Safe House in the Muyenga surburb. Because his son spoke English, he helped alot in translating for his French-speaking father during their stay in Uganda. The exited Museveni flew to Gbadolite to welcome back the victorius NRA and ordered for them plane loads of fresh meat from Kampala. Ofcourse Bemba's MLC militias were too weak to militarily intervene in CAR and it was the NRA that did the job. In 2005 when the MLC intervened again in the CAR to suppress another mutiny led by Froncois Bozize, the NRA had presumably withdrawn from Congo. The truith is that the NRA still had its forces within MLC who greatly boosted the success of the intervention. Again, the MLC militias like the Congo army did not have the capacity to militarily intervene in a foreign country and successefully suppress a mutiny.
Unfortunately the ICC decided to indict only MLC's Bemba. The same applies to Tom Lubanga and Bosco Ntaganda. Without the NRA, they would not have become warlords. Like was the case with all the ten militia groups, they were assisted by the NRA to recruit, train, arm and execute their operations. The NRA directly comitted horrific attrocities in the Congo. Innocent civilians and soldiers lost their lives, public and private property was destroyed and looted, women raped and chidren defiled. NRA's Capt Okum used explosives in Kilomoto gold mines in Isiro and ended up killing over 90 local miners who were burried by the collapsing tunnels. He was briefly helf for stealing a pick up truck but set free later. Col. Sula Semakula forcefully took explosives from a mining company Baric Gold and usf them in gold extraction. The ICJ ordered Uganda to pay reparations to Congo but who could enforce it! It is this impunity that makes Museveni to once again poke his nose in DRC with M23. The mysterious deaths of Kazini, Mayombo, Wapakhabulo, Kerim has links too.
