Yes, the power wears out. It creates dissension, struggles, internal feuds. We lasaciato the "General Nkunda solid on the outskirts of Goma besieged, triumphant in his pure white boubou, receiving the mediator Obasanjo or flocks of Western journalists. Now his power is under siege. The number two of the CNDP, Bosco Ntaganda, has challenged as a leader, accusing him of mismanagement of the leadership. As a counter move, Nkunda has accused him of treason. Ntaganda, who is wanted by the international tribunal in The Hague, appears willing to make shoes to his boss. For some time he had suspected, since, in the warm days of the march on Goma, had been circulating a curious document of the CNDP, which indicated the death occurred of the power entrusted Nkunda and - coincidentally - in the hands of Bosco Ntaganda. After the initial fanfare, it was understood to be a bluff and had not given weight to thing, but now that document deserves renewed interest.
More difficult to understand what it shake beneath the surface of this crevice. Local sources tell us that even those inside the rebellion does not know best for what purpose you are fighting. Ntaganda would therefore be a voice to this discontent. Others say that the rebel movement would be split in two: on one hand those of Masisi, Rutshuru other ones. Yet others argue that Ntaganda has received - how to say - an "incentive" to rebellion by the government in Kinshasa.
But perhaps there is another possible reading: that Nkunda, after the UN report that nails him, after repeated stagings in which poses as a charismatic leader, begin to be uncomfortable and unmanageable for the nearby Rwanda, its backer. Rwandan President Kagame himself, not long ago, had clear words to that effect.
Upcoming events will tell us which of these assumptions is true. Meanwhile, however, it remains true that if the CNDP has so many internal problems, perhaps the people of Kivu can stand at the moment a bit 'quieter.
