SLUG: 2-305492 Congo / Government (L-O) DATE: NOTE NUMBER: DATE=7/16/03 TYPE=CORRESPONDENT REPORT TITLE=CONGO / GOVERNMENT (LONG ONLY) NUMBER=2-305492 BYLINE=DINO MAHTANI DATELINE=KINSHASA CONTENT= VOICED AT: INTRO: The leader of the largest rebel group in the Democratic Republic of Congo has arrived in the country's capital, Kinshasa, after several days of uncertainty. He will take his place as one of four vice presidents in a new transitional government that is to be put in place on Thursday to end Congo's four-year war and plan elections. Dino Mahtani reports from Kinshasa. TEXT: The leader of the Rwandan-backed Rally for Congolese Democracy or R-C-D-Goma, Azarias Ruberwa, arrived on Wednesday at N'Djili airport in the capital. He was received by members of other rebel groups as well as delegates of the United Nations mission in Congo, before being whisked into the city to be welcomed by President Joseph Kabila at the presidential palace. In a brief statement, Mr. Ruberwa said his arrival marks the effective end of war in the Congo and that the transitional process for a new government has begun. Mr. Ruberwa's arrival comes a day after the arrival of Jean Pierre Bemba, leader of the Ugandan-backed Movement for the Liberation of Congo, or M-L-C. Both rebel leaders will be sworn-in on Thursday as vice presidents in a new transitional government hoping to lead the country back to democratic elections in two years.

Africa /Congo (Democratic Republic Of) CONGO (DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF) History and Government History: The Belgian Congo was created in 1885. This huge region of southern-central Africa was no orthodox colony but was, in fact, the personal property of the Belgian monarch, King Leopold II. The Belgians provided nothing other than the minimum infrastructure necessary to support the extraction of the country’s vast mineral wealth, setting a pattern which has dominated this benighted country ever since. In 1925, under a mandate from the League of Nations (the precursor of the UN), the territories of Rwanda and Urundi (now Burundi) were incorporated into the Belgian Congo. (Both subsequently became separate countries). After the end of World War II, the Belgian Congo was another African colony whose occupiers were concerned simply to dispose of it with the minimum of fuss and the maximum commercial advantage. The Belgian Congo was duly granted independence, with the minimum of preparation, in 1960. From the perspective of the Cold War, however, Zaire under Mobutu was a valuable strategic ally preventing the encroachment of communism in southern and central Africa. But after the end of the Cold War, Mobutu’s close relationship with the major Western powers became more of an embarrassment than an asset. The political settlement in South Africa brought it to an end and marked the beginning of the current phase of the country’s history. It seemed almost impossible that the country’s situation could get worse after Mobutu. Unfortunately, it did.
