Take the
militia FNI: but for the victims and their suffering, it makes no difference
what the acronym stands for, it’s all one big sadistic joke of language and
power. The most significant fact to remember about this "F" "N" "I" is that
they served as the private proxy army for the gold mining operations of
Metalor, a Swedish firm, and AngloGold Ashanti, headquartered in South
Africa and partnered with Barrick Gold.[4] Secondly, they were agents for
Ugandan power brokers.
Anglo-Gold
Ashanti directors include Sir Sam Jonah, who is also a director of shady
mining-cum-military companies operating in Sierra Leone and connected to
Tony Buckingham and other white-collar mercenaries. Buckingham affiliated
companies—e.g. Heritage Oil and Gas, Branch Energy, Saracen
Uganda—collaborate with the Museveni regime. Saracen’s top shareholder is
General Salim Saleh, half-brother of Yoweri Museveni, and Congo’s nemesis, a
Ugandan agent cited by the United Nations for war and plunder in Congo.
AngloGold
Ashanti is the Anglo American mining conglomerate of the Oppenheimers and
De Beers mining cartels of Britain and South Africa, interests deeply aligned
with Belgian American intelligence insider Maurice Tempelsman—the godfather
of covert operations in Africa. Tempelsman’s diamond interests in Congo
were, at least partially, displaced by the Israeli cartels of Dan Gertler
and Benny Steinmetz.[5] It is a no-brainer that the Tempelsman gang backs
Rwanda’s occupation of eastern Congo. [2008

Congolese
sources everywhere confirm the widespread involvement of
MONUC soldiers in
guns-for-minerals swaps and sexual violence; sources repeatedly accuse MONUC
troops of delivering weapons back to militias to justify MONUC’s one billion
dollar a year occupation of Congo.[59]
"MONUC was
giving weapons to the militias," says yet one more Congolese official. "MONUC
had their own ambitions. It was about gold. The peace that was achieved in
Orientale around 2006 was not achieved by MONUC; the National Police Force
from Kinshasa and the integrated FARDC brigades achieved it. MONUC was
frustrating the peace."[60]
In the new
Congo war documentary by Dutch filmmaker Renzo Martens, ENJOY POVERTY,
we see South African mining staff of AngloGold Ashanti confirming MONUC’s
pivotal role in securing the company’s access to gold in Orientale. The
entire "humanitarian" enterprise must be properly situated in the political
economy of profit-based charity, resource control and racial injustice.[61]
MONUC doesn’t
need more guns, it needs fewer guns (but arms dealers keep shipping them
in), and Congo doesn’t need more foreign mercenary forces posing as
"peacekeepers" but secretly serving narrow, undisclosed interventionist
agendas on behalf of multinational corporations.
