BRIG GEN JAMES MWAKIBOLWA: NEW METHOD OF COMBATING VIOLENCE IN THE DR
CONGONew York, May 29 2013 1:00PM"The Force Intervention Brigade is
something very positive," Brigadier General James Aloizi Mwakibolwa
said. "The soldiers who are coming in are very professional. They are
trained and instructed specifically on this mission and on how they
have to perform."
Less than two months after arriving in North Kivu to lead the
newly-established Force Intervention Brigade against rebels from the
23 March Movement (M23), the Brigade's commander, voices a deep sense
of duty and purpose to the Security Council mandate and to
contributing to peace in the Great Lakes region.
"It should be understood that our first concern should be the
protection of civilians as we take on the armed groups," he concluded.
"A UN peacekeeper is a person who must protect UN staff and UN
property but, above all, he must protect the civilians."
In March, the Security Council authorized the deployment of an
intervention brigade within the existing UN peacekeeping operation in
the country (MONUSCO) to carry out targeted offensive operations, with
or without the Congolese national army, against armed groups that
threaten peace in eastern DRC.
The brigade – which will be based in North Kivu province and total
3,069 peacekeepers – is tasked with neutralizing armed groups,
reducing the threat posed to State authority and civilian security and
make space for stabilization activities.
The first contingent of Tanzanian soldiers forming part of the
Brigade arrived in Goma earlier this month.
Since taking command, Brig Gen Mwakibolwa has focused on putting the
team together and getting them ready for the mission.
"When you are selected and made commander of a new mission, you feel
great about yourself," Brig Gen Mwakibolwa said. "I have to make sure
that I deliver. That I meet the expectation of the international
community and the United Nations which formed the Force Intervention
Brigade and ultimately agreed to make me commander."

Nevertheless, Brig Gen Mwakibolwa, with more than three decades of
experience as a general in the Tanzania Peoples' Defence Force, is
quick to emphasize that while he heads the brigade, he is not the head
of the UN force in the country.
"We are part of MONUSCO and our instructions come from the Force
Commander of MONUSCO," Brig Gen Mwakibolwa stressed. "How, where and
at what time it will happen depends on the Force Commander."
A military man who believes a soldier is better judged in the field
of action than in the talking fora, Brig Gen Mwakibolwa acknowledged
that there are fears among some in the civilian population that the
Brigade will exacerbate the already tenuous atmosphere.
"Perhaps they expect collateral damage and this and that to the
extent that several people are not positive about the brigade," the
Brigadier General said.
Noting that this is his first UN peacekeeping mission, Brig Gen
Mwakibolwa is experienced in the region. He served as commander of the
Military Assessment Team of the International Conference on Great
Lakes region (ICGLR) in October 2012 to assess the military situation
in eastern DRC and come up with a concept of operation.
"I think this contributed to my nomination as commander of the
brigade because of the fact that I was the one to come and assess the
situation." May 29 2013 1:00PM
