1) MP Christophe Beyeye's Conspiracy Theory
Yesterday afternoon at the National Assembly, MP Christophe Beyeye
introduced a motion calling for an investigative commission based on
the findings of the recently published UN Mapping Project Report.
The motion was promptly dismissed by Speaker Evariste Boshab for lack
of "terms of reference" and the uncertain constitutionality of using a
report crafted by an international body.
But what was most interesting was the outlandish preface of the motion
by MP Beyeye, erstwhile minister of Mobutu.
MP Beyeye claimed that in 1992 he accompanied Mobutu on a trip abroad
where an unnamed powerful foreign leader told the Zairian dictator
that he could no longer control such a huge country. Nor could that
foreign power control it either. Hence, the need of splitting the
country into 4 smaller and more manageable entities.
As Mobutu didn't mince his words when it came to the territorial
integrity and sovereignty of the Congo, MP Beyeye went on to say, the
exchange with the foreign leader became unpleasantly heated.
Fast forward to 1995. In a security meeting "at the highest level," MP
Beyeye learned about a "balkanization plot" that was being hatched by
countries on the eastern border of the Congo.
MP Beyeye then wrote an "opuscule" titled "Zero Notice, Army Officers"
that he circulated and even sent to the local press.
When the country's enemies read Beyeye's brochure, they delayed their
balkanization plot by one year, that is, till the AFDL/RPA invasion of
the Congo!
Wow!...
The problem with MP Beyeye's claims is that he may have misplaced his
"opuscule."
Beyeye seemed to imply the "opuscule" had vanished soon after
publication and urged his colleagues to check with MP's Kin Kiey and
Modeste Mutinga, owners of local newspapers, who might still have in
their archives the prophetic "opuscule."
2) Cyberattack at Central Bank
The government-run RTNC (Congolese National Radio and Television)
reports today that the computer system of the Central Bank is now up
and running at 60% of its capacity after being crippled by a
cyberattack!
An investigation is underway to unmask the hackers. The report seemed
to allege that it was an inside job.
