Congolese Irish Partnership: - press release on the Pretoria agreement
The signature of Pretoria agreement took place on 30th July2002 in South African republic.

The Rwandan and Congolese presidents posed this act before the special representatives of the secretary general of the UNO, Mr. Moustapha Niasse as well as other heads of state of the sub-region and of the African continent. It is about, as it is seen through this great mobilization, of the international community and of the African continent, of a gesture whose importance is not to prove. But between this known importance and the effective implementation of the agreement, there is a margin, very important.

In fact, the Congolese have known many agreements. No one has responded to the expectations of the people, even that of Lusaka which had immobilized more people than that of Pretoria. This last agreement has the particularity of being signed at a moment where the Congolese ideal presents the crisis which holds sway in this country under a more reassuring angle. Today, not an actor of the Congolese crisis still has a hidden agenda, everything is clear, and is known now on.

It is the case with the Rcd/Congo which revealed what we had always denounced the extrovert character of the action of Rcd/Goma presented as a simple international alibi to mask the aggression of the Rd-Congo by Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi. Even the silent partners of this aggression can't no longer pretend to operate under the shadow.

People think, they can give more chance to the agreement of Pretoria than that of Lusaka negotiated and signed in confusion such that it is not known what is the root of the problem and by where to take it to bring to the conflict the expected solution. It comes out to us "we have the right to see to believe" that the international deal will no longer have anything to do with this kind of war on the meaness background. But no one will convince the Congolese of the determination of Paul Kagame to withdraw his troops from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The will of signing the agreement is from time to time denied by a deceitful speech which, tends to consider this agreement as a victory of Kigali which from now on, expects that Kinshasa brings to him the interahamwe and the ex-Far hands and feet tied up.

According to all assurances given by the south African republic and other partners in charge of the follow up and the effective application of this agreement, Kigali will no longer be right to side-stepping. The Congolese Irish Partnership (C.I.P) believe that by the fact that Monuc which would be able to transform itself into the force of imposition of peace, will be at two places at once in the operation of demobilization. If there is a collaboration for this operation to succeed, that of Kigali is more expected than that of Kinshasa. With much good will, it can be possible to overcome the irrealism of the imparted delay for the total withdrawal of Apr from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

In february of this year I met with various activists [anti-globalist, anti-racism, health workers, anti-corruption, sustainable development agenda].
Thereafter I was spammed by the following crew presumably based in Congo.

this is one of the letters I received from a congolese source;

FROM: KISHALI WILLIAM DUKE
DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO.
TEL:8821651150529
PRIVATE E-MAIL:kel569@yahoo.com

SEEKING FOR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE.

It is my pleasure to request your assistance on this
business proposal, which if pursued to its conclusion,
will be of immense benefit to both of us. This request
may seem strange but I will crave your indulgence and
pray that you view it seriously. My name is KISHALI WILLIAM DUKE
of the Democratic Republic of Congo and
one of the close aides to the former President of the
Democratic Republic of Congo LAURENT KABILA of
Blessed memory, may his soul rest in peace.

Due to the military campaign of LAURENT KABILA to
force out the rebels in my country, I was instructed
by Late President Kabila to go abroad to purchase arms
and ammunition worth Twenty Five Million United States
Dollars (US$25,000,000.00) to fight the rebel group.
But when President Kabila was killed in a bloody
shootout by one of his aide a day before I was
schedule to travel out of Congo, I immediately decided
to divert the fund into a private security company
here in Congo for safe keeping.

The security of the said amount is presently being
threatened here following the unwarranted arrest and
seizure of properties of Col. Rasheidi Karesava (The
aide that shot Laurent Kabila) tribesmen, where I am
from, by the new President of the Democratic Republic
of Congo the son of late President Laurent Kabila,
Joseph Kabila. In view of this,I need a reliable and
trustworthy foreign partner who can assist me to move
this money out of my country as the beneficiary.

I have sufficient contacts to move the fund under
Diplomatic cover to a security company in the
abroad in your name to a country were the security company
is affiliated.This is to ensure that the
diplomatic baggage is marked confidential and it will
not pass through normal custom/airport screening and
clearance. My inability to move this money out of
Congo all this while lies on my lack of trust on our
supposed good friends (western countries) who have
suddenly became hostile to those of us who worked with
the late President Laurent Kabila, since his son took
office.

Though we have neither seen nor met each other, I know
we will be able to establish all the trust that we
need to ensure that the money will be safe with you.
Thus, if you are willing to assist me to move this
fund out of Congo, you can contact me through my email
address sending your telephone and fax numbers or preferably
through by most pritate tel numbers above to
enable us discuss the modalities and what will be
your share (percentage)for assisting me. I will highly
appreciate it if my request is given utmost priority
and consideration.

Best Regards
KISHALI WILLIAM DUKE

=================== I thought on how I should respond, so I forwarded the message to the Irish government, this is the letter I sent:

Mo Cairde,
I have no idea how this message came to me.
I would be obliged for comment, and advise on how I should as an
Irish citizen respond.
gurbh maith agaibh
is mise le meas.

iosaf mac diarmada.

I sent this to;

irelandaid@irlgov.ie
humanrights@irlgov.ie
minister@irlgov.ie/iveagh

and guess what = no-one has yet resonded.
I got more response from various US federal government offices than Ireland.
Herein is a lesson,
don´t email Leinster House / Iveagh House.
