REPUBLIC OF CABINDA

Welcome to the Government of Cabinda

World Wide Web Service

The Republic of Cabinda World Wide Web Services provides public access to information about the Nation of Cabinda, its People, Organizations and general information of the Country.

Since the 8th of November of 1974 a state of up evil and war exist in Cabinda by the invasion of the unelected MPLA regime. Cuban and marxist MPLA troops invaded in large numbers the Nation and Country of Cabinda via Point Noire on the 11th of November of 1974. Cabinda was a Portuguese Protectorate since the signing of the Treaty of Simulambuco in 1885, and became known as the Portuguese Congo. Marxist MPLA troops are still occupying Cabinda. Some oil companies are participating along side the unelected and unwanted invaders sponsoring with their cash the MPLA on raping and murdering the Cabindans.

Simply put we Cabindans live in misery because of the greed of a few Oil Company’s. The Republic of Cabinda was never legally integrated into the new colonial patched up nation of so called angola after the end of the portuguese presence in 1974.

Cabinda is not portuguese the portuguese where in Cabinda only 87 years.

The portuguese arrived uninvited on the shores of the Cabindan Kingdoms of N’Goyo, Kakongo and Loango in the year 1883 and 1884 during which time they where with the mission of searching for the native Chiefs in order to make them believe and force them into “making a treaty” where the portuguese would protect the Kingdoms of Cabinda from other Nations. On the 14th of July 1887 the portuguese arrived and remained in Cabinda until the 25th of April 1974, in other words portugal in the period of 87 years the Portuguese completely devastated the Nation of Cabinda. Cabinda wipes its ass with the unelected MPLA Comunist Regime, Chevron and the portuguese republic. Long live Cabinda, Long live the Cabinda People, Long live Freedom for the Cabindan Nation and its people!

 - Segue Notícia em Audio da VOA, transcrita, sobre a Acusação ao Dr. António Paca Pemba Panzo -
Audio - VOA Portuguese - Emissão Vespertina de 08/13/2010 (13 de Agosto de 2010)
 
"Novo Activista de Direitos Humanos Acusado de Crimes Contra a Segurança de Estado em Cabinda".
 
Transcrição do Audio:
 
Em Cabinda, o Ministério Público acaba de promover a Acusação contra um Activista de Direitos Humanos, Preso em Abril último, por alegado Apoio aos Activistas Cívicos detidos no início do ano em conecção com o ataque contra a selecção de futebol do Togo.
 
O Jovem, de 32 anos, é Acusado de Conspiração contra a Segurança do Estado, mas o início do seu Julgamento ainda não tem a data marcada.
 
José Manuel Gimbi, o nosso Colaborador em Cabinda, enviou-nos mais detalhes.
 
José Manuel Gimbi:
 
António Paca Panzo, de 32 anos de idade, foi acusado esta 4ª feira pelo Ministério Público, em autoria material a um Crime de Outros Actos contra a Segurança de Estado, nos termos do artigo 26, da lei 7/78, de 28 de Maio, "por ter pretendido organizar uma Reunião de Protesto", à detenção de um Sacerdote, de um Advogado e de outros Activistas Cívicos do enclave.
 
O Ministério Público responsabilizou o Activista dos Direitos Humanos, "pela Confecção das Camisolas" com os Rostos dos Padre Raul Tati, do Advogado Francisco Luemba, do Docente Belchior Tati, de Benjamim Fuca, Zeferino Puati e Barnabé Peso, que custaram a Prisão de 9 Jovens que dias depois viriam a ser libertados pela Polícia de Investigação Criminal.
 
A Manifestação, diz a Procuradoria Provincial da República, perseguia assim "Subversívos contra o Estado Angolano" e era patrocinada pelas Associações Open Society e Omunga, que além de pedir 'Julgamento Justo aos Detidos' tem ainda como objectivo 'Solicitar Diálogo Sincero' para a Solução Pacífica do Problema de Cabinda.
 
Jornalista em Washington:
 
Os últimos Julgamentos de Activistas de Direitos Humanos em Cabinda, está entre vários exemplos que os Críticos do Governo Angolano recorrem para descrever o "Retrocesso Democrático" em Angola.
 
Antigo Primeiro Ministro, Marcolino Moco, não tem poupado Críticas à actuação do Governo quanto à aplicação da Justiça e chega mesmo a acusar os Tribunais de "Subordinação Política".
 
António Capalandanda ouviu as Críticas de Moco:
 
Em Declarações à Voz da América, Moco referiu que esperava que o Presidente de Angola, José Eduardo dos Santos, desse continuidade às mudanças Institucionais iniciadas em 1992 com a realização das Primeiras Eleições multipartidárias.
 
Mas no entanto aumentaram as restrições a um efectivo funcionamento de um Estado de Direito e Democrático. No entanto, após o conflito armado, aumentou a corrupção no Sistema Judicial e os Tribunais são cada vez mais manipulados e influenciados de forma política, cortando deste modo toda a Independência deste Órgão. Esta situação tem potenciado as Violações sistemáticas dos Direitos Humanos em Angola e aumenta o Regime Clientalista.
 
Diz Moco:
 
O Retrocesso em que isto se tornou..., estão cada vez mais a ser retirados, estão cada vez mais influenciados de forma Política, a não virem com certa Independência, com certa Liberdade.
 
Estes recuos, segundo Marcolino Moco, registam-se também ao nível da Liberdade de Imprensa, os Jornalistas Privados são cada vez mais perseguidos e a Imprensa Pública continua Partidarizada.
 
Um Estado tem de ser coerente. Um Estado Democrático não vai à frente se não tiver mecanismos de comunicação abertos ao contraditório, se não funcionar de modo a fazer concretizar as Leis aprovadas no dia a dia, se fizer do tipo..., proclamam-se as Liberdades, os Direitos, as Garantias Fundamentais, mas depois contrariam-se esses Direitos.
 
Os alegados Donos de alguma Imprensa Privada, que estão também alegadamente ligadas a pessoas de nível alto do Poder, estão a comprar os próprios Instrumentos de Comunicação que havia Privados e Independentes. E contra a Lei de Imprensa que não permite isso, mas claro que toda a Imprensa, associando isso à Imprensa Pública ou à Comunicação que é Controlada , que é quase Censurada.
 
Jornalista em Washington:
 
Entretanto, a Especialista e Activista dos Direitos Humanos Lisa Rimli, já reagiu a esta Nova Acusação do Ministério Público Angolano em Cabinda. Ela foi entrevistada a partir de Genebra, na Suiça.
 
Lisa Rimli:
 
Podemos dizer que tal como nos Outros Casos já Julgados a possibilidade de haver um Julgamento justo nessas condições está comprometido desde o início, porque como já dissemos, o Artigo 26 é demasiado vago, demasiado genérico, é demasiado arbitrário e como tal foi usado para Prender e Julgar essas Pessoas sob Pretexto do ataque contra a selecção Togolesa, em Janeiro, mas sem ligação nenhuma entre essas pessoas que foram presas e o ataque propriamente dito.
 
Bom, de um lado é preciso dizer também, que uma decisão importante, naturalmente, que se aguarda é do Tribunal Constitucional, porque como nós e outras Organizações pedimos que o Governo revogasse, o Artigo ao abrigo do qual essas pessoas estão a ser Acusadas e Condenadas, que é exactamente o Artigo 26 da Lei dos Crimes contra a Segurança do Estado e isso consta que há um Recurso que está no Tribunal Constitucional e isso naturalmente vai ter um impacto importante sobre os Outros Casos.
 
Agora os Outros Casos, essas pessoas já estão presas desde Janeiro, desde Fevereiro, desde Abril, há muito tempo, portanto e também deixar agora essas pessoas esperar até que haja uma Decisão do Tribunal Constitucional, também talvez não seria o ideal.
 
Jornalista em Washington:
 
Nesta altura a Mobilização deve ser no sentido de Liberar essas Pessoas, tanto mais que a Lei aplicada nesses Julgamentos e nessas Prisões não estão em conformidade com as disposições da Constituição Angolana.
 
Lisa Rimli:
 
Sim, também não estão em conformidade com os Padrões Internacionais sobre Julgamentos Justos.

THANK YOU FOR KILLING US CABINDAS PLEASE TAKE OUR PETROL AND OUR LIVES

AND MAY YOU SENIOR OFFICERS OF CHEVRON ROTTEN IN HELL FOR ETERNITY

Chevron Spreading Communist and Terror worldwide

FUCK CHEVRON GREEDY MOTHER FUCKERS

Chevron is a company ethically and morally short sighted

The greedy mother fucker of Chevron the most versatile oil company experts in partnership and long relations with brutal and totalitarian regimes also operate in Myanmar (Burma) where a evil regime exists, and in Venezuela where a Cuban Style Communist regime is being installed, isn’t it funny that all foreign oil companies out and Chevron is the one staying in place! Chevron No Ethics No Decency no Nothing, Chevron is Evil.

THE MPLA ARMY ABUSES CABINDANS

The MPLA army has tried to suppress the Flec freedom movement
The MPLA army is continuing to commit widespread abuses against civilians in the Nation of Cabinda, a human rights group has said.

There have been numerous instances of rape, murder and detentions in the oil-rich and Militarily occupied Nation of Cabinda.

The MPLA army has sent thousands of troops to subdue the Flec freedom movement, which calls for independence.

Last weekend thousands of Cabindans took to the streets demanding autonomy.

We're talking about killings, mainly by the armed forces but also by the police.

The fact that these abuses are still going on shows that the situation in Cabinda has not improved.

We're talking about women and children being raped, we're talking about putting people in jail only because they are from Cabinda. The report called The Reign of Impunity details a series of alleged human rights abuses, and it says the violations are continuing.

The unelected MPLA Comunist regime was not immediately available for comment.

Independence has widespread support from Native and non Native Cabindan civilians, most of whom crave independence.

The Republic of Cabinda does not share a border with the rest of Angola - it is sandwiched between Congo Brazzaville and the Democratic Republic of Congo on Africa's west coast. Cabindans insist they are also culturally and historically distinct.

And what is also at stake is oil, with Cabinda's crude production accounting for almost half of Angola's total output.

The unelected MPLA Marxist Regime with strong ties to China, Cuba and Russia has said it wants to keep the occupied Nation of Cabinda in the fold and it has sent thousands of troops to try to quash the separatist rebellion.

The fact that these abuses are still going on shows that the situation in Cabinda has not improved.

25 September 2008

Dans la nuit du 25 septembre 2008, un commando des FAA, composé d’un ex-élément de l’ancienne guérilla (FLEC Rénové), connue actuellement sous le nom de «Tchicuco», et deux militaires angolais ont pénétré à l’intérieur de la république du Congo-Brazzaville, dans une résidence située vers le village de NZassi dans la région du Kouilou, et ils ont exécuté à la «Catane», le Commandant adjoint des opérations des Forces Armées Congolaises Unifiées (FAC Unifiée) de la zone centre et du sud du Cabinda, Joäo-Maria Manuel Gomes, alias «Maymona», a informé une source de la résistance depuis le territoire du Cabinda.

Le «Commandant Maymona» 48 ans, appartenait à un groupe de guérilleros, ayant trouvé refuge dans le Kouilou et détenus par les autorités congolaises à Pointe-Noire, à la demande de l’Angola. Soumis par une intervention chirurgicale par les médecins à Pointe-Noire, pour l’appendicite, pendant sa période de convalescence, le détenu «Commandant Maymona» va demander d’être transféré dans le village de NZassi dans la région du Kouilou, près de la frontière de Massabi, et c’est de là, qu’il a été exécuté par le commando MPLA.

Selon la source de la résistance depuis le Cabinda, la sécurité congolaise aurait facilité l’opération du commando MPLA sur leur territoire national. Cette exécution apparaît après le début de la coopération militaire entre la républiques du Congo-Brazzaville et de l’Angola avec des patrouilles et des opérations militaires mixtes, le long de toute la frontière séparant le Congo-Brazzaville et le Cabinda.

Des témoins affirment que plusieurs femmes sont régulièrement violées, dans les villages frontaliers du Cabinda et du Congo-Brazzaville, par ces patrouilles mixées.

Selon une autre source de la résistance Cabindaise de Massabi au Cabinda, les responsables de l’assassinat du «Commandant Maymona» formant le commandant angolais en république du Congo-Brazzaville, sont des Cabindais, qui ont intégrés les Forces Armées Angolaise (FAA) au terme de l’accord de paix signé par l’Angola et l’ancien résistant Antonio Bento Bembé.

Selon cette même source de la résistance, de Massabi au Cabinda, les hommes opérationnels du commando qui ont éliminé «Maymona», en République du Congo-Brazzaville, ont pénétré dans la nuit du 25 septembre 2008, avec l’appui de «Saddam», un officier de la sécurité congolaise (DRM) qui participe aux patrouilles mixtes.

Le commando opérationnel qui était envoyé dans lé région du Kouilou, était totalement constitué des Cabindais: José Tchitembo Bissafi, Policarpo Mouélé Moulélé, Pédro Chicaya Nlembiano, Augusto Wanga et Francisco Mabiala, tous des transfuges des accords de pais signé entre l’Angola et l’ancien résistant Antonio Bembé. Ils sont tous, originaires des villages proches des villages de la région du Kouilou au Congo-Brazzaville, à l’exception de Pédro Chicaya Nlembiano.

Selon les informations recueillies par la sécurité FLEC vers NZassi en république du Congo-Brazzaville, du côté du commando angolais, cette opération était conduite par José Tchitembo Bissafi, l’home au 4*4 qui circule à peine entre Luanda, Cabinda et Pointe-Noire.

Par cette opération et cet assassinat du Commandant adjoint des opérations militaires des FLEC, les Forces Armées Angolaises (FAA), prétendent réduirent les activités de la guérilla Cabindaise.

Les obsèques funèbres du «Commandant Maymona» se sont déroulé Samedi 27 septembre 2008, dans la région du Kouilou, au Congo-Brazzaville, où, il avait été exécuté.

Cabinda Independente a 1 de Agosto de 1975, transformada em colónia pelo MPLA

No próximo dia 1 Agosto os cidadãos do Protectorado Português de Cabinda, vão comemorar a data que assinala mais um aniversário da proclamação, há 35 anos, da independência do Estado Livre de Cabinda.

Foi nesse dia, em 1975, três meses antes da independência da então República Popular de Angola (país que ocupa desde então Cabinda), que os Cabindas começaram a sua difícil, mas não impossível, caminhada em prol dos seus direitos.

Desde então enfrentam dois grandes inimigos. Portugal que ao não honrar os seus até então solenes e nobres compromissos, se transformou num inimigo político, e Angola que é um inimigo militar que transformou Cabinda numa colónia onde, um pouco à semelhança do que faz no resto de Angola, vigora o princípio de que até prova em contrário todos são culpados.

Muitos se recordam mas poucos têm a liberdade de consciência para o dizer. É por isso que, um pouco por todo o lado – até mesmo em Portugal – os que se atrevem a defender a causa de Cabinda são também culpados... até prova em contrário.

Recorde-se que, a partir da revolução portuguesa de 1974, Cabinda entrou por direito próprio na agenda internacional, especialmente na da então OUA (Organização de Unidade Africana, hoje União Africana), onde a FLEC contava com o apoio de alguns países africanos (Uganda, Zaire, Gabão, etc.).

Perante o cenário juridicamente correcto, em face dos tratados assinados, de uma descolonização separada dos dois territórios (Angola e Cabinda), o presidente do MPLA, Agostinho Neto, desencadeou em 1974 uma actividade diplomática intensa para persuadir os líderes africanos a retirarem da agenda da cimeira da OUA o debate previsto sobre o problema de Cabinda.

Agostinho Neto apresentava, aliás, todas as garantias de que as autoridades comunistas portuguesas que dominavam o país iriam entregar exclusivamente ao MPLA os destinos de Angola, apresentando mesmo documentos nesse sentido subscritos pelos dirigentes do Movimento das Forças Armadas (MFA).

Com o apoio do Presidente Congolês, Marien Ngouabi, Agostinho Neto conseguiu que fosse arquivado o dossier Cabinda (Cf. Memorandum – 4/07/75 – conversação entre Agostinho Neto e o Embaixador soviético no Congo, Afanasenko).

O mesmo se passou em relação aos Acordos de Alvor onde, com cumplicidade activa do Almirante Vermelho, Rosa Coutinho, Alto Comissário em Angola, bem como de outras figuras de destaque, caso de Almeida Santos, Agostinho Neto afastou a FLEC de qualquer discussão do caso de Cabinda, dando como adquirido que o protectorado português era parte de Angola.

Foi todo este cenário que levou o Presidente Luís de Gonzaga Ranque Franque a declarar a independência de Cabinda. Recorde-se que, apesar dos esforços conjuntos do MPLA, União Soviética, Cuba e Portugal, alguns países reconheceram Cabinda como um país independenre. Foram os casos do Togo, Gabão, República Centro Africana, Uganda e a R. D. Congo (ex-Zaire).

E, como sempre disseram os Cabindas, só é derrotado quem deixa de lutar. Não creio por isso que alguma vez os Cabindas deixem de lutar. Desde logo porque só aceitam estar de joelhos perante Deus. Perante os homens, mesmo que armados até aos dentes, estarão sempre de pé.


Fernando Nobre Cara de palhazo

Cabinda limpa o cu com o pensamento  e as declaracoes do filho da puta do Fernando Nobre, abaixo a estupidez que emana de portugal.

«É evidente que hoje não passa pela cabeça de ninguém que Angola não vá de Cabinda ao Cunene. Assim ficou definido no momento da independência», disse o filho da Puta do Fernando Nobre que e’ Candidato à Presidência da República Portuguesa.

Certamente que o cabrao do Fernanado Nobre esta a levar no cu com o penis do Jose Eduardo do Santos.

Mensagem para o cabrao do Fernando Nobre

E’ com individuos como tu Cabrao que portugal y o povo portugues continua a estar subdesemvolvido.


In Defense of Integrity and the Cabinda Nation

June 2010

In the UN no one speaks about the plight of the Cabinda Nation and its People at the hands of the murderous and evil Cuban formed and Communist Chinese Advised Regime of the MPLA. Even if someone speaks no body cares.

It is shameful that in today's world at the base of every nations interest is greed. In this political, ethical and moral weak times principles of Human Dignity are out of fashion.

We the Cabinda Resistance have the Moral Duty to defend Integrity, Decency and above all Humanity and the humane Spirit itself.

The Parody of present day Governments both in Europe and in the United Stated of America, of which Political Parties rely heavily on “donations” from the Corporate Sector, chiefly the International Multinational Oil Corporations, some of which have no scrupulous, and see no barriers to achieve their ultimate objectives.

This same Oil International Corporations (Chevron among others) a minority of individuals have thus gained unlimited access to Political power and influence. The majority of Citizens are driven to elections where by this Governments heavily financed by Chevron and other International Oil Companies are elected. The Majority of the Citizens who under assumed impression voted for a certain political party to represent his/her vote, instead this present day government represent and defends not the interest of the People who voted for them but chiefly represent and defend the interest of the tiny minority of Citizens which compose the nucleus of the Oil Corporations who financed their electoral campaigns.

MPLA, End Torture and Unfair Trials in Cabinda
Fourteen Civilians Tortured in Military Custody Charged with State Security Crimes
December 10, 2008

(New York) - The MPLA unelected regime should urgently end torture and unfair trials in state security cases, Human Rights Watch said today. Fourteen civilians who were arbitrarily detained and tortured in military custody are currently being held on security charges in the MPLA militarily occupied Republic of Cabinda.

Since September 2007, the MPLA Angolan Armed Forces have arbitrarily detained at least 15 civilians and six military personnel in Cabinda, the oil-rich occupied Nation that has long had a separatist insurgency. All were eventually charged with "crimes against the security of the state," accused of assisting the armed separatist Front for the Liberation of the Enclave in Cabinda (FLEC). So far, there has been one trial. On September 16, 2008, a MPLA military court in Cabinda convicted a former Voice of America journalist, Fernando Lelo, and four soldiers of state security crimes and sentenced them to 12 years in prison. Human Rights Watch found the trial fell far short of international fair trial standards.

"The unfair trial of Fernando Lelo and four soldiers has set a disturbing precedent," said Georgette Gagnon, Africa director at Human Rights Watch. " The MPLA should exonerate and free them, and make sure that future national security trials meet international standards."

Most of those detained in Cabinda were held in an unofficial military detention center, where, Human Rights Watch research found, they were tortured and held in inhumane conditions for months before being transferred to a civilian prison. Most spent far more than the 90 days allowed by the MPLA law before being charged with any offense.

Unfair trial

As a journalist, Lelo had regularly criticized the unelected government for arbitrary arrests and other human rights abuses, and had been briefly detained after covering a police crackdown on church members in 2006. He was arrested in November 2007 and accused of having paid the six soldiers in July 2007 to carry out acts of sabotage.

Defense lawyers and other observers in Cabinda told Human Rights Watch that the trial, which ended in June, produced no evidence to support the accusations. They said the military judge refused to take into account testimony demonstrating that Lelo was at work when a meeting with the soldiers allegedly took place, and that no evidence was produced that the military personnel even knew him. The court systematically disregarded defense evidence, and the state press reported only the prosecution's position. Prior to the trial, on January 7, Attorney General João Maria de Sousa stated there were "strong indications" Lelo was guilty, which raises further concerns about fairness.

Under unelected and currupt MPLA law, civilians should be tried by a civilian court. The UN Human Rights Committee - the body authorized to interpret and monitor compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) - has stated that the trial of civilians by military courts should be very exceptional and occur only under conditions that genuinely afford full due process.

Human rights activists in Cabinda told Human Rights Watch they believed the government delayed announcing Lelo's sentence until after the September parliamentary elections, to avoid popular unrest and damage to the ruling unelected MPLA party's political chances in Cabinda.

In the September trial, one soldier was acquitted, while another had been unconditionally released beforehand. Lelo and the other convicted men have appealed their sentences. The 14 other civilians remain in custody without trial.

Torture in military custody

The defense lawyer for the six soldiers accused with Lelo told Human Rights Watch the soldiers were arrested without a warrant by military intelligence. He said soldiers and military intelligence personnel tortured them to extort confessions to incriminate Lelo. He described the abuses to Human Rights Watch as follows:

"They were beaten with wood and bamboo sticks, car belts, table legs, and electric cables, and tied up with cords. The mother and wife of one detainee were forced to walk naked in the streets of the city. One detainee was subject to a mock execution, and another was shot at, and this resulted in one leg being amputated in the military hospital."

According to the lawyer, they were then held for three months in a secret military prison within the headquarters of the second regional command of the MPLA Armed Forces in Cabinda. During this period, they were continuously handcuffed to one another, often denied food and again beaten by military intelligence personnel and soldiers, on orders of their superiors. The defense lawyer said that the military detainees told him that a senior armed forces official was always present, gave orders to beat them, and at times participated in the beatings.

Former prisoners and local lawyers in Cabinda commonly refer to the military prison where the detainees were held as "the hole." They told Human Rights Watch it was a dirty cellar without sanitation facilities that fills with water when it rains. Both the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (in September 2007) and the International Committee of the Red Cross have been denied access despite official requests. In March, the Angolan Armed Forces spokesperson in Cabinda told Human Rights Watch such a prison "did not exist."

Human Rights Watch research found that the 14 villagers and community leaders currently held in pre-trial detention for state security offenses faced torture and ill-treatment similar to that described by the lawyer for the soldiers convicted with Lelo. The civilians were arrested between December 2007 and April 2008 in Cabinda's northern municipalities of Buco Zau and Belize during military raids after attacks by the FLEC armed resistence in those areas. Lawyers and human rights activists told Human Rights Watch that military intelligence officers, together with soldiers and at times also members of the military police, in the presence of the same senior armed forces official, brutally beat them at the time of their arrest, also carried out without a warrant. As one lawyer described it:

"They beat the detainees with gun butts, batons, sticks, and electric cables, stripped them naked and tied them up with cords. Some had their genitals tied with cord and some were cut on their backs with machetes and threatened with death. The detainees were then held handcuffed and incommunicado in ‘the hole.' There, beatings continued and the detainees were often denied food. Only after three months of military custody were they transferred to a civilian prison."

Only after they were transferred to a civilian prison did the provincial attorney general formally charge them with crimes against state security and related crimes, including armed rebellion, homicide, sabotage, and illegal possession of arms. The accusations are linked to two armed attacks attributed to FLEC Freedom Fighters in December 2007, which resulted in the death of a police official and a Brazilian expatriate worker, and to an assault on a construction company that killed two workers in March 2008.

"The unelected MPLA government should immediately stop all torture of detainees and permit international scrutiny of military detention facilities in Cabinda," said Gagnon. "Those responsible for the mistreatment of detainees should be held accountable."

Human Rights Watch urged the MPLA regime to ratify the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and its Optional Protocol. Angola had promised the UN General Assembly before being elected member of the Human Rights Council in May 2007 that it would do so.

Background

Since 1975, the separatist guerrilla movement Front for the Liberation of the Enclave in Cabinda (FLEC) has been fighting for independence for Cabinda, which today produces half of Angola's oil. The Angolan government claims the civil war ended in 2006, when the government signed a peace agreement with a faction of the rebel group and that continuing sporadic attacks are the work of "bandits" who threaten state security.

The unelected MPLA government has long used national security concerns as an excuse to crack down on peaceful political dissent and curb independent scrutiny in Cabinda. In 2006, the government banned a local civic association, Mplabanda, which had documented war-related human rights violations and other abuses since 2003. The unelected government claimed Mplabanda was carrying out unlawful political activities and inciting violence. An appeal against the ban is still pending at the Supreme Court.

Before the parliamentary elections in September 2008, Human Rights Watch documented a climate of intimidation and restrictions on freedom of expression and assembly that targeted critics of the unelected MPLA regime in Cabinda


Chevron, a grossly unethical Corporation

"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

15 September 2008

The nefast consequences of the immense stupidity of the successive American Government Administrations and the actions of the Greedy Corporation Chevron, among others are translated in hundreds of thousands of civilians in Cabinda to be murdered by a criminal regime in complicity with Chevron Oil Corporation.

It is, the Natural Aspiration of every nation to live in peace, this simple and basic aspiration has been denied to the Cabinda Nation by sheer greed. The Crude Oil will terminate one day, sooner, we pray to God and the Hosts of Heaven. This day shall come, and when it comes in order to bring them to justice we shall proceed to search and capture all those who where driven by greedy beyond all measure. Those who know no Ethics, those who know no Moral Values, and know no wrong doing by supporting and assist the criminal bastard regime of the MPLA.

In this sense we accuse the greedy bastards of the CHEVRON Corporation: responsible of carry out their business in a grossly unethical manner. Further more our concerns are raised by observing that this same company CHEVRON sustains and empowers the dictatorial brutal regime, both the unelected MPLA and the unelected Military Junta in Burma, and is the only American oil company operating in Communist Hugo Chavez Venezuela.

Let it be known that we shall bring into justice in a lawful court of law, all those who have committed atrocities against Humanity in Cabinda and elsewhere.

Cabinda was invaded with communist Cuban military assistance and military personnel even before the so called independence of the so-called “Angola” country created by the stupid mind of Colonial Rule of the Portuguese Government, an useless bunch of entrenched bureaucrats and incompetents to the core of their own medulla of cronical stupidity.

Cabinda: UNPO General Assembly Member Resolution

09 June 2008

The resolution calls upon the unlelected MPLA to respect the rights of the People of Cabinda and furthermore urges them to commit itself to an honest dialogue toward finding a lasting and peaceful solution to the conflict.

Below is a Member Resolution as presented and adopted before the IX UNPO General Assembly held during 16-17 May 2008 in Brussels, Belgium:

IX UNPO General Assembly

16 - 17 May 2008, Brussels Belgium

Member Resolution

introduced by:

Cabinda

The Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization General Assembly,

Convened for the IX UNPO General Assembly in Brussels, Belgium, 16 – 17 May 2008,


Noting the information provided by the Representatives of Cabinda,

Considering that Article 73, Chapter XI of the United Nations Charter recognizes the Right of peoples to self-determination,

Emphasising that Cabinda was and remains a Portuguese protectorate by virtue of the Treaty of Simulambuco in 1885 that recognizes Cabinda as a non-autonomous territory,

Considering that when it was founded in May 1963, the Organisation of African Unity, now African Union, recognised Cabinda in 1964 as the 39th state on the African continent to be decolonized and that reality has since been ignored,

Regretting that Portugal as the protecting power of Cabinda has abandoned the territory of Cabinda, its protectorate, without organizing a referendum for self-determination to allow the people of Cabinda to choose their future; and in direct violation to the treaties of Chimfuma (1883), Chicamba (1884), and Simulambuco (1885), allowed the territory of Cabinda to be illegally annexed by Angola, a third country,

Gravely concerned at the continued violations of human rights in the territory of Cabinda, as repeatedly reported by the Civil Society in Cabinda, Angolan NGO’s and international independent reporters on Human Rights, which includes extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, killings of civilians, torture, arbitrary arrest and detention, deaths in custody, absence of due process, severe restrictions on freedoms of opinion, expression, assembly and association, violations of freedom of movement, forced relocation, and the imposition of oppressive measures directed in particular at human rights defenders in Cabinda; the persecution, imprisonment and kidnapping of Cabindan refugees in Congo Brazzaville and Congo Kinshasa (RDC) and their forced repatriation without guarantees or security and in spite of the decision taken by the HCR on non-repatriation of Cabindan refugees,

Concerned about the arbitrary imprisonment of Mr. José Lello, a former correspondent of Voice of America in Cabinda and the persecution of members of the Cabindan Catholic Church,

Noting that the recent US State Department Human Rights Country Report on Angola (2007) has highlighted that in spite of the Memorandum of Understanding (signed between Angola and Mr. António Bento Bembe), the armed conflict in Cabinda has not ended, and that the unlawful killings in Cabinda are still being carried out by the Angola Armed Forces,

Also noting the concerns of UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detentions (UNWGAD) over clear evidence of beatings and other abuses of civilians in police stations in Cabinda and the arrest of Sarah Wykes on February 18, 2007 by the security forces in Cabinda during her visit to research on the oil sector in Cabinda,

Therefore:

Condemns all human rights abuses committed in Cabinda by the Angola Armed Forces;

Calls upon the Government of the Republic of Angola to respect the Cabindan Peoples’ rights, including their right to self determination;

Calls upon the Government of Angola to commit itself to an honest dialogue toward finding a lasting and peaceful solution to the conflict through broad-based negotiations and consultations with legitimate interlocutors;

Calls upon the Republic of Angola to stop all acts of intimidation, kidnapping and forced repatriation of Cabindan refugees, and act to bring peace to the territory to ensure their voluntarily and peaceful return;

Strongly urges the Government of the Republic of Angola to release immediately and unconditionally Cabindan political detainees and prisoners of conscience, including Mr. José Lello and to ensure their physical integrity;

Calls once again on all companies, including multi-national oil companies operating in Cabinda, to respect the human rights and self-determination of the People of Cabinda, including the right to manage and control natural resources of Cabinda and to help promote true dialogue in order to establish peace in Cabinda;

Encourages also international humanitarian organizations and governments to come to the aid of Cabindan refugees in the Democratic Republic of Congo-Kinshasa, Republic of Congo-Brazzaville and elsewhere, who are living under harsh conditions, without the basic necessities of life;

Requests the Secretary-General of UNPO to use his good offices to intervene in the illegal detention of Cabindans detained in the Republic of Congo to facilitate their safe and immediate release;

Requests the Secretary-General of UNPO also to strongly consider involving UNPO to help in finding a lasting and peaceful settlement of the conflict in Cabinda.

Chevron's slaughter of the innocents: great minds think alike

Chevron denies it, but what else would you expect them to do? Admit that they hire and pay for death-squads? From Elise Ackerman in The Mercury News:

The bodies of the dead Nigerian villagers had not yet grown cold when the Nigerian navy captain presented Chevron with a bill: 15,000 naira, or $165 for responding to "attacks from Opia village against security agents.''

Within 24 hours Chevron paid up. It would be years before the San Ramon-based energy company would acknowledge the role it played in the destruction of Opia and another small village called Ikenyan in Nigeria's oil-rich delta in January 1999.

The receipt for the January 4 army raid, which left four villagers dead and nearly 70 missing and presumed dead, came to light only this summer as part of a federal lawsuit filed on behalf of the victims in U.S. District Court in San Francisco. It is being reported first on MercuryNews.com. The receipt also is among documents obtained by the Mercury News.

Chevron has denied any responsibility for the death or injuries that occurred that day. Charles Stewart, a Chevron spokesman, said the payment to the captain reflected "a longstanding industry practice of paying a small amount for each day'' to military personnel who protected "the people and the property of the oil companies located in the Niger Delta.''

Here's the Big Joke: Chevron had been engaged in a battle with China's government oil company, CNOOC, for purchase of Unocal Corporation. Chevron has been trying to get Congress to intercede on its behalf, using China's "human rights record" as a major reason (that's on the record; off the record, no one interested in interceding on behalf of Chevron could give a shit about human rights, of course). Now that CNOOC has withdrawn its offer, Chevron is free to acquire Unocal for $1 billion less than their rival's offer.

However now Chevron faces a jury in Federal court in San Francisco. Ackerman's story sets out, in gory detail, the circumstances behind the Opia massacre and evidence for Chevron's deep involvement in it. She sums it up this way: Barbara Enloe Hadsell, an attorney for the villagers said that in addition to paying the security forces, Chevron loaned them [a] helicopter that was used in the attack. She said Chevron personnel not only accompanied the soldiers as they flew to Robin Creek but also directed the pilot to "deviate from his course'' to pursue villagers who were "getting away.''

"That's complete Chevron involvement,'' Hadsell said.

Stewart, the Chevron spokesman, admits that Chevron's Nigerian subsidiary helped transport the military reinforcements to the rig after gunfire was heard on the radio. Stewart also acknowledged that a Nigerian military officer onboard one of the helicopters "discharged a gun during flight.''

But Stewart said Chevron did not authorize the weapons to be fired and that it occurred when no village was in sight. "We are confident as the case progresses, Chevron will be vindicated,'' he said. So what do you think? Do you think a global oil company would stoop so low as to pay Nigerian goons a couple of bucks to exterminate a village that was in their way?

That's funny. That's what I think, too.

Further intimidation and harassment of the Population of Cabinda by the unlected dictatorship of the MPLA

7 January 2007

Sábado, dia 29 de Dezembro de 2007. Por volta de 17:00, José Gabriel Puati (também conhecido por Gabby), de 24 anos, natural de Chinfuca (perto de Beira-Nova, Município de KaKongo) e residente em Caio-Contene (Ncuto), filho de Gabriel Puati e de Teresa Malila, pai de dois filhos, foi morto a tiro por militares do MPLA, na unidade militar de Pangamongo.


José Gabriel Puati killed on the 29 December 2007 by the MPLA in the Republic of Cabinda

O acto aconteceu depois do ataque perpetrado por militares da FLEC nesse mesmo dia pelas 08:00, no “Mongo M’lola” ( descida dando para o riacho M’lola ), a 50mt da aldeia de Seva, que dista de cerca de oito Kilómetros de Pangamongo. Na seqüência deste incidente, três cidadãos de Seva, os Srs. Martins Yanga, André Nduli e Leão foram presos pelas FAA, sob acusação de estarem envolvidos no ataque. Além disso, as FAA procederam ao confisco dos Bilhetes de Identidade de muitos aldeões de Seva, entre os quais, o Sr. Alberto Mbumba, João Buela e Afonso Massiala, a quem pediram a comparecia no quartel de Pangamongo. E o José Gabriel Puati regressava de Buco-Zau, para onde se deslocara na véspera em negócios. Ao chegar junto à unidade militar da aldeia de Pangamongo, deparou-se com um grupo de militares do MPLA, que o interpelou e o acusou de militar da FLEC, em jeito de justificação da sua conduta. Ao tentar exibir a sua documentação, as tropas puseram-se a espancá-lo, e, em seguida, disparam sobre ele, causando-lhe morte imediata. Segundo testemunhas oculares, estas tropas agiam sob a chefia do comandante Lacrau, e se tinham deslocado à Pangamongo para reforçar a segurança na zona.

Os três cidadãos detidos foram simplesmente conduzidos à Buco-Zau, sede de Município de Buco-Zau. O bem conhecido Brigadeiro e Cabrão Wala, que se deslocara no terreno para melhor se inteirar do sucedido, prometeu trazer os prisioneiros de volta à aldeia, dada a falta de provas do seu envolvimento no ataque. Porém, o destino destes cidadãos continua incerto; e não há notícias sobre a evolução dos pedidos de comparecia na unidade militar de Pangamongo. Além disso, o coordenador da aldeia de Seva, José Gime, mais conhecido por José Bota é dado por desaparecido. Finalmente, José Gabriel Puati é mais uma vítima do actual figurino socio-político e jurídico de Cabinda, onde impera a lei da baionete. E favor notar que José Gabriel Puati é sobrinho de José Marcos Mavungo, vice-presidente da extincta Mpalabanda.

- Quinta - feira, dia 3 de Janeiro de 2007. A caça ao aldeào de Seva continua. Por volta de 05:00, Alexandre Mavungo (mais conhecido por Bayona Mavungo), de 70 anos, da coordenação do Bairro de Seva, e residente em Seva, filho de Lamba Mavungo (mais conhecido por Chefe Lamba Khuta) e de Bazonga, pai de três filhos; e Cesar Ngimbi, são raptados por efectivos de Defesa e Segurança do MPLA, na area do Madombolo, sita no bairro GIKA/Cidade de Tchowa (Cabinda).

Os familiares de Bayona Mavungo – a Sra. Teresa Nsuami (filha), de 35 anos de idade; o Sr. António Chibilica (genro), de cerca de 45 anos de idade; e Willy (neto), de 15 anos – ao presenciarem o acto, entenderam subir também numa das duas viaturas Jeep da Polícia Nacional (PN), que transportaram os detidos para um local desconhecido. De momento, não temos qualquer informação sobre a sorte destes cidadãos.


We ask for a minute of silence for all those that have felt in combat for a better and Free Cabinda.

The invasion of Cabinda 11 of November 1974 (PDF)

News cover of the Invasion of the Republic of Cabinda on the 11 of November 1974 by the MPLA (PDF)

They where financially supported by the Oil Giant Chevron, Chevron paid the MPLA to take over the Cabindan oil fields, has informed to us by the last Civil and Military Governour General Themudo Barata.
The Nation of Cabinda became a Portuguese Protectorate since the signing of the Treaty of Simulambuco in 1885, and became known as the Portuguese Congo from the earliest 1900 onward.

MPLA troops are still occupying Cabinda. The American Oil Company Chevron is participating along side the MPLA occupying force in raping and murdering the Cabindas.

We Cabindas live in misery because of the Greed of an American Oil Company - Chevron. We Cabindas have no quarrel with the American people but the greed and the exploitation of their Oil Companies have brought misery and death to Cabinda.

The MPLA should immediately end its occupation and brutal repression in Cabinda.

The Republic of Cabinda was never legally integrated into Angola after the end of the portuguese presence in 1974.

It is sad to say but we cannot count with the portuguese authorities to comply with their historical responsibilities.

They seem unaware.

The Status of the Republic of Cabinda
To those who the Present Matter Concerns directly and indirectly

1 February 2010

Cabinda is a Nation, a Country, a language, a Culture that has the Determination to Fight in order to regain its Sovereignty. For the last uninterrupted 33 years, the People of Cabinda have being fighting the Hostile MPLA enemy, even so We hold 75% to 80% of the Territory of Cabinda Independent and Free from Foreign Occupation.

Of the few Despots and un-elected Dictators and Totalitarian Regimes in Africa, the MPLA has gained a solid reputation for Greed, Corruption, Political and Civilian Murderer and Assassinations, Infinite Arrogance and Stupidity. In its illegitimacy, in its claim to political power, which is achieved by weapons and weapons alone, the MPLA is sustained by what it can Rob from others.


MPLA soldier’s rape beat Congolese migrants - group

6 Dec 2007

By Paul Simao

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - The medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres said MPLA soldiers have raped, beaten and tortured illegal Congolese migrant workers before deporting them across the border.

The French humanitarian group said the rights abuses were occurring in the diamond-rich province Luanda Norte, which borders the Democratic Republic of Congo. It described the rapes as "pervasive and systematic".

"The women and men are separated. The rapes are very systematic and the men are also beaten up and tortured," Meinie Nicolai, MSF's director of operations, said in a press conference in Johannesburg.

Nicolai said on Wednesday some migrants had died as a result of the violence, while others had been exposed to HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Many victims said they were detained at the border without food and water and forced to endure body cavity searches, she added.

An estimated 400,000 Congolese live in northern Angola, with a large number of them employed illegally in mines. Angola, Africa's third largest diamond producer, has ramped up efforts to expel the migrants.

An estimated 44,000 have been sent back to the DRC in the past year, according to the United Nations.

MSF said its findings were based on interviews conducted with at least 100 women in the DRC after their expulsions from Angola. Nicolai said MSF had presented the information to Angolan diplomats, but added that they had not taken action.

The allegations follow similar reports by other human rights groups.

The MPLA government typically does not respond to criticism from Western rights groups.

United Nations reports MPLA 'torture' abuse in Cabinda

3 October 2007

United Nations Human Rights investigators say that they have found evidence of arbitrary detention, torture and other human rights abuses in Cabinda.

A working group led by Algerian lawyer Leila Zerrougui spent 10 days interviewing more than 400 detainees.

In a statement released to the media, Ms Zerrougui says they saw detainees who "showed visible signs of torture".

The statement from the UN's Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva says, "The present institutional and legal framework governing the aspect of deprivation of liberty is still flawed".

The working group found evidence that torture and ill treatment were used to extract confessions from suspects at two prisons.

The Cabinda question. The investigators also said there were credible allegations that civilians are held incommunicado at military facilities in the oil-rich nation of Cabinda.

"They are never produced before a judge," said Ms Zerrougui.

"The right to access to a lawyer and a corresponding legal aid system as guaranteed by the MPLA constitution, exists only in theory".

The group were denied access to Cabinda military prison where the alleged "secret detentions" take place.

Last month, a pro-independence Cabindan civic group complained that some of its members were arbitrarily arrested ahead of a visit to Cabinda by gang leader of the MPLA the well-known Bastard Jose Eduardo dos Santos.


HAPPENINGS IN CABINDA

2 September 2007

Australian ROC Oil shares rose the most in 15 months after the company said it might be able to produce from the Massambala discovery in occupied Cabinda.

Australian Roc Oil jumped 45¢, or 16 per cent, to $3.23, the highest for almost three weeks.

Australians Roc's Cabinda South venture, which includes Force Petroleum and the MPLA oil company Sonangol SA, which is run by the Bother in Law of the Leader of the MPLA, started drilling in June as part of a $54 million exploration program.

Roc said about 20 per cent of the estimated 170 million barrels in the Massambala in ocupied Cabinda field might be produced.
"This has captured everyone's imagination that maybe occupied Cabinda will be an area of interest for these guys," said Luke Smith, an oil and gas analyst at ABN Amro Australia.

Massambala-1, the first well drilled in the occupied Cabinda Nation in 35 years, is targeting a potential 33 million-barrel discovery.

It holds heavy, viscous oil, rather than the light oil typical of Cabinda and West African crude's that Australia Roc was targeting.
"Massambala occupied Cabinda becomes the most recent addition to Roc's conveyor belt of projects which merit more thorough appraisal," Roc chief executive John Doran said in a statement to the stock exchange.

Oil and gas accounts for 49 per cent of the gross domestic product of the unlected and corrupt MPLA regime in power since 1975 (32 years).

Australian Roc's exploration program in the occupied Cabinda Nation would continue to primarily target the lighter grades of crude that are more typical of the region, Mr Doran said. Australia Roc owns 60 per cent of the venture, while Force and Sonangol each own 20 per cent.

Australia Roc reported a narrower first-half loss of $8.8 million, compared with $22.2 million a year earlier.

AT THE SAME DAY HAPPENINGS IN CABINDA

2 September 2007

CABINDA - The MPLA Armed Forces (FAA) had initiated this Friday a "Mega Military Operation" in 10 villages in the centre of the Cabinda Nation where the Cabinda Native Populations are accused by the MPLA apparatus "to supply moral and logistic support to the Cabinda Freedom Fighter forces of FLEC". Are they in the way of the new ROC oil project?

Thousands of Cabinda Native Population, of the masculine sex, with ages understood between the 15 and 60 years old, "had been pulled out of their homes on Friday at dawn on the 31st of August 2007 around 0430AM, in the so called Mega Operation handled by the MPLA military labeled the FAA", denounced Raul Danda, a journalist and civic activist of Human Rights in Cabinda.

The MPLA/FAA armed forces or the forces of evil has they are known by the Population are recruited from diverse areas of the African Continent, people assume that the MPLA/FAA army is composed of so called “Angolan” citizens in fact these constitute only a minority the MPLA/FAA inflate their army with jobless male citizens from Katanga, Equator from the DRC.

According to the human rights activist Raul Danda, in true agitation, the Cabinda native population had been surprised in their homes, in the villages of Lico, Icazu, Cochiloango, Loango, Small Loango, Ntunga, Mbuli, Bichékete, Caio and Mpuela (in the central region of the Nation of Cabinda), hundreds of military of the MPLA/FAA strong armed and armed of numerous vehicles, that had taken them by brute force until the Plain of the Cochiloango region.

In accordance with diverse certifications, "all those that had tried to resist this measure of the MPLA/FAA had been spanked, while the others were intimidated and threatened by the MPLA/FAA military in whose faces it could be read a great will to press the trigger."

The Cabinda Population of the feminine sex (all the ages), for its turn, completely stressed with the situation, had abandoned their houses and had been dislocated, by foot, until the Plain of the Cochiloango region, where they found their husbands parents, brothers, uncles, restrained affirming to be made use to die to the side of their families.

According to some of the Cabinda Native Population who managed to run away from the aimed villages, the MPLA/FAA soldiers accused the populations of that area of supply, moral and logistic support to the Freedom Fighters forces of the FLEC, that has been to intensify its attacks against the military of the MPLA/FAA.

As Raul Danda the population believe that "this wave of terrorism against the Native Cabinda populations is related with the recent orientation given from the leader of the MPLA Comrade Jose Eduardo Dos Santos", during the recent visit of intimidation that he made to Cabinda, "having given orders to its MPLA/FAA soldiers to “redouble the efforts” against that, in its to understand, they disestablishes Cabinda."

CABINDA IS LIVING SINCE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY IN A DIFFICULT SITUATION

20 August 2007

CABINDA - Some faithful members the Historic State of Cabinda are passing horrific moments. Dictator Jose Eduardo Dos Santos, head of the MPLA concluded a visit to Cabinda, before his arrival, a number of Cabindan Citizens connected to the Civic and Human Rights Association Mpalabanda and kin supporters Independence where thrown in to jail. A climate of terror was lived in Cabinda.

House search of the arrested Citizens where executed. And an increase of MPLA military personnel was resisted in Cabinda. And People of Cabinda lived more intimidations. The streets and streets had been stalled in certain places; many young Cabindas had been withheld innocently. The People of Cabinda continues to cry. One still notices great difficulties on the so called democracy. We continue to ask for that those who are in the Diaspora that please do make all which are possible ones to make all these situations which the People of Cabinda suffers visible before the eyes of the International Community.



Cabindans say they are culturally and historically distinct

10 August 2007


CABINDA - A banned Human Rights civic organisation in Cabinda says some of its members were detained ahead of a visit by the president of the MPLA to the Cabinda. Jose Eduardo dos Santos' visit comes a year after a peace deal with most separatists in the oil-rich enclave.

Mpalabanda, whose members are being held, told the BBC the conflict was ongoing and called for more talks.

"They try to convince all people that the established agreement was accepted by all parties, but it's not true, it's false," Mpalabanda President Agostinho Chicaia told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme.

He said three of their members had been detained without charge on Thursday. One has subsequently been released.

"For Cabindan people the president is not welcome because we don't have peace in Cabinda, we have a lot of problems and our priority is dialogue," Mr Chicaia said.


Montevideo Convention and Cabinda statehood

The Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States solidly affirms the State Sovereignty of the Republic of Cabinda. The Convention, which was signed by Franklin D. Roosevelt as president of the United States, establishes the criteria for statehood in international law, and as a restatement of customary international law, merely codified existing legal norms and its principles therefore do not apply merely to the signatories, but to all subjects of international law as a whole.

According to the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States, Cabinda meets the criteria for being considered a separate and independent nation under international law. It states that:

The state as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications:
[A] a permanent population;
[B] a defined territory;
[C] government; and
[D] capacity to enter into relations with the other states.

Cabinda meets all of the traditional requirements for statehood set forth by the Montevideo Convention.

Cabinda has its own currency (Ibinda) and has its own Constitution and common law. It unambiguously defines citizenship, issues its own passports to its citizens, and has a well-functioning judiciary and law enforcement.

It has a defined territory which encompasses more than 12,000 square kilometres. Its permanent population of 1,500,000 is much greater than that of other states that have been admitted into the United Nations since 1990, including Andorra (70,000), Liechtenstein (33,000), Marshall Islands (66,000), The Federated States of Micronesia (132,000), Monaco (32,000), Nauru (13,000), Palau (18,000), and San Marino (25,000).

Cabinda has its own democratically elected president and legislature. Its government commands the armed forces, and engages in discussions with foreign states. Through its government institutions, Cabinda has the capacity to conduct international relations and has represented the people of the country at international negotiations under the mediation of the Organization on Security and Cooperation in Europe, Africa, America and Asia.

The issue of recognition or no recognition is not a test of statehood. To be considered a full country under international law, it is enough for Cabinda to meet the four criteria of the Montevideo Convention: permanent population, defined territory, government and being able to relate to other states.

A similar set of criteria for statehood is found in the European Community's Badinter Committee. The committee defines a state by having a territory, a population, and a political authority. The committee also found that the existence of states was a question of fact, while the recognition by other states was purely declaratory and not the determinative factor of statehood.

The Swiss Government's Directorate of International Law (Switzerland's Administration’s centre of competence for General Public International Law) agrees and states that "The existence of a state is not dependent on any prior recognition. The determining factor is solely the actual and concrete presence of the concomitant characteristics of statehood, i.e. a national territory, a citizenry and a state authority."

In international law a protectorate is a political entity (a sovereign state or less developed native polity, such as a tribal chieftainship or feudal princely state) that formally agrees (voluntarily or under pressure) by treaty to enter into an unequal relationship with another, stronger state, called the protector, which engages to protect it (diplomatically or, if needed, militarily) against third parties, in exchange for which the protectorate usually accepts specified obligations, which may vary greatly, depending on the real nature of their relationship.

In fact, 'protectorates' were even declared which were not even duly entered into by pre-existent traditional states, or only by a party in its internal politics of dubious authority, while colonial 'protectors' frequently decided on their own to 'reshuffle' several protectorates into a new, artificial unit, a logic not quite respectful of the theoretical duty of a protector to help maintain the protectorate's status and integrity. The Berlin agreement of February 26, 1895 actually stipulated that the colonial powers could declare a protectorate in Black Africa (the last continent to be further carved up between them) a protectorate could be established by diplomatic notification, even without actual possession on the ground. A similar case is the formal use of such terms as 'colony' and 'protectorate' for an amalgamation, convenient only for the colonizer/protector, of geographically proximious territories over which it held (de facto) sway by protective or 'raw' colonial logic.

In practice, a protectorate often has direct foreign relations only with the protecting power, so other states must deal with it by approaching the protector. Similarly, the protectorate rarely takes military action on its own, but relies on the protector for its defence. This is distinct from annexation, in that the protector has no formal power to control the internal affairs of the protectorate.

The Protectorate demands a detailed and prudent study of its nature and its effects, legislators designate the following:

1. - That no limitation can be founded in presumptions that require a special title.

2.- That it must always be presumed that a State possesses a complete autonomy, the limitations of that autonomy must be specified en clear and precise terms, and if it wishes to make it permanent it must state that it possesses it constantly since time immemorial

3. - Being the limitation an exception to the rule, it must be interpreted in its most restrictive since to its limit and the more convenient to the limit.

4. - It can not be considered valid a limitation of the autonomy and of the freedom of a State that snatches completely these integral rights of their personality,

5. - It should be considered annulled a 'limitation when the circumstances have changed such a way that was not valid their current establishment.

6. - The limitation can extinguish for the agreement in contrary, for the expressed or tacit renouncement, for the other ways of concluding the international treaties.

"VOCABULARY OF THE INTERNATIONAL PUBLIC LAW"

Paper to vulgarize the nomenclature and main concepts of this science; Written by the Doctor in the Law Schools, Philosophy and Letters D. ALFONSO RETORTILLO Y TORNOS (Professor of the Law school in the Central University, Academic of the royal Jurisprudence and Legislation, etc, etc…) With a foreword of His Excellency Doctor D. FRANCISCO J. CASTEJÓN Y ELIO MARQUEZ OF VADILLO (Professor of Natural Law in the University of Madrid, Former-undersecretary of Grace and Justice, Former-vice-president of the Royal Academy of Jurisprudence, Deputy to the Royal Courts etc, etc…). Printed with the license of the ecclesiastical authority in Madrid in the Typographic establishment of Fortanet, Printer of the Royal Academy of History in the street Liberdad No. 29 in the year of 1893

We remind that the frontiers of the Cabinda territory were fixed clearly by the conference of Berlin 1884-1885, where it is evidenced that the territory of Cabinda is not part of the angolan territory, besides being two separate territories so much as geographically, culturally and not sharing any frontier, as well as it is in the ethnic plan and in the linguistic one.

All the countries signatories of the Conference of Berlin on the 26 of February 1885 (Great Britain, Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, The Low Countries, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, and United States of North America), acknowledged that the Kingdom of Portugal signed the Treaty of Simulambuco on the 1st of February 1885 with the Chiefs and Princes of Cabinda and later on they made it recognize, homologated and used of conformity to that of the Conference of Berlin on the 26 February 1885, in this manner the territory of Cabinda become a Portuguese Protectorate and its Status of Protectorate were countersigned by the parenthesis b) of the paragraph 2 of the Article 16 in its Annex "AND" of the "Letter of Havana" of March 24 1948.

The Portuguese constitution of 1933, clearly states that the territory of Cabinda is a separate from any other of its colonial or protected territories.

Identically documents from the United Nations and from the Organization of World Commerce clearly state that the territory of Cabinda is a separate and independent territory of that another.

Both the Organization for African Unit OUA in 1964, identifies Cabinda has the territory with the number 39 in line to become decolonized and the territory of Angola with the numbers 35, has well as the United Nations in November 20, 1962 they acknowledge the desire of auto determination of the People of Cabinda.

The countries of the European Union have signed the Letter of the United Nations, the Letter of Havana, the Universal Declaration of the Human rights, the Convention of Vienna on Diplomatic Relations, the Resolutions 1514 (on the concession of Independence to the countries and colonial Peoples, 1960), and the 1803 (permanent Sovereignty on the natural resources 1962) of the Nations United and many more other treaties and international agreements in this same respect.

The Republic of Cabinda is the de facto Government of Cabinda. It has been a de facto government since the 1974 Conference of Alvor in which Portugal illegally transferred Cabinda to Angola despite Cabinda's previous separate status as the Portuguese Protectorate known as the Portuguese Congo under the 1885 Treaty of Simulambuco. The Cabinda de facto Government has maintained itself against Angola inside Cabinda continually since 1974. The President of Cabinda is His Excellency N'zita Henriques Tiago. Ministerial responsibility is split between the Office of the President and the High Commission in London which is responsible for the foreign relations, religion, resources, tourism, commerce, banking, judiciary, information, and telecommunications portfolios. The President has direct command of the armed forces, interior, finance, and political ministries.

The internal political parties of Cabinda are sometimes confused with the Republic of Cabinda. The Republic of Cabinda is a unity government whose members include but are not limited to the majority FLEC-FAC political front where all Cabinda political party’s are and can be present. FLEC-FAC itself is a coalition of parties and organizations including the armed forces. In recent years following the successful example of Botswana, the Republic of Cabinda has recruited outside experts to help and assist the building of civil society in terms of an independent judiciary, legal system, and economic development.

INTERNATIONAL LAW

THE RIGHT OF LEGATION OF THE EXPATRIATED GOVERNMENTS

The right of the legation accompanies the governments that are expatriated, such has in the event of war for not falling into the hands of the enemy; this succeeded, for example, during the second world war (from 1938 at 1945), to the governments from Poland, Belgium, Holland, Norway, Yugoslavia and Luxemburg, they expatriated to prevent them to fall in the hands of the enemy, has such they moved to Great Britain fixing the headquarters of its legation right in London, from where they credited and received all diplomatic agents.

A de facto government requires no diplomatic recognition to conduct itself under international law. Both United States and international courts have repeatedly accorded legal standing to de facto governments.

De facto governments may conduct foreign relations with sovereign states which have not extended de jure recognition to them. Section 107 of the Restatement (Second) of Foreign Relations Law of the United States 119651 states that: "An entity not recognized as a state but meeting the requirements for recognition specified in § 100 of controlling a territory and population and engaging in foreign relations], or an entity recognized as a state whose regime is not recognized as its government, has the rights of a state under international law in relation to a non-recognizing state..." See also Article 74 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties which states that "The severance or absence of diplomatic or consular relations between two or more States does not prevent the conclusion of treaties between those States".

International Recognition of Cabinda

In the past the Republic of Cabinda has enjoyed a close working relationship with the former governments of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the former Zaire. In fact, so cordial were relations with Zaire that its leader called for a plebiscite in Cabinda on the issue of independence. The current weak minority regimes in these states however are now allied with Angola which maintains troops in both countries capitals.

The Republic of Cabinda through its majority party FLEC-FAC is a member of the UNPO. The UNPO (Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization in The Hague) enjoys NGO status at the United Nations. UNPO members include Taiwan, Somaliland, Tibet and Kosovo.

The condition and situation of the Republic of Cabinda is similar to the condition and situation of the Arab Republic Democratic Saharaui.

So much the Republic of Cabinda like the Arab Republic Democratic Saharaui is not member of the United Nations. If a nation, is not member of the United Nations it doesn't remove them its status of Nation.

Not to" belong to the United Nations is not an impediment for their recognition and establishment of Relationships Diplomats. It is for that reason that the Republic of Bolivia recognized to the Arab Democratic Republic of Saharaui as a nation in date 1412-1982. It is for that reason that in January of this year, his Excellency the President of the Arab Democratic Republic of Saharaui, attended the transmission of control of his Excellency the President of the Republic of Bolivia.

The Republic of Cabinda and its associated entities, the National Bank of Cabinda and the Cabinda Law Society are also acknowledged by the African Union's Commission on Human and People's Rights which will be hearing the international legal case Cabinda vs. Angola filed by the Republic of Cabinda regarding control of natural resources in Cabinda. The Republic of Cabinda also has dealt with agencies of the United Nations including the UN Human Rights Office, UN High Commissioner for Refugees, and the UN Office for the Coordination of I humanitarian Affairs.

Under the Geneva Conventions of 1949, it is a war crime to transfer, directly or indirectly, the civilian population of a country power onto land under that country's military occupation. The reasoning for this crime is to emphasise that it is a violation of International Law to annex territory through military force.

Diplomatic Presence

The Republic of Cabinda maintains a Permanent Mission in Paris and a High Commission in London. Diplomatic representatives for Italy, England, Madeira, the Vatican, San Marino, Paraguay, Argentina, Bolivia have been named. Ongoing negotiations regarding bilateral relations are being conducted with Bolivia, Oromonia, Somaliland, Katanga, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Southern Cameroon and Caprivi. FLEC-FAC maintains liaison offices in the Congos, the Hague, and Paris.

Economic Development

The National Bank of Cabinda has recently issued postage stamps and established Cabinda's first currency, the Cabinda. Escudo, which is on par with the Central

African Franc. Cabinda National Petroleum has been in negotiation with several oil companies pending the outcome of the African Commission case.

Future Outlook

Angola's current government, the MPLA, is an increasingly unpopular Dictatorship regime which has been accused of looting Angola's resources and committing genocide. Elections called for the by the United Nations have yet to take place. Free and fair elections would result in regime change and a change in Cabinda's status. The main opposition party in Angola, UNITA, has called for participation of FLEC-FAC and President N'Zita Henriques Tiago in any future political outcome for Cabinda.

The Republic of Cabinda expects to become the de jure government of Cabinda within the near future. Current civil society initiatives are in place to avoid economic disruption and smooth a political transition. Cabinda supports all human rights regimes including the Geneva Convention and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Da Sucessão de Estados Quanto aos Tratados O Caso do Enclave de Cabinda


Amnesty International Report 2007

Forced evictions continued and hundreds of families were left without shelter. There were reports of human rights violations by police, including unlawful killings and torture. Little progress was made towards eradicating impunity. One police officer was prosecuted and 10 others dismissed for various offences. In Cabinda, human rights violations continued despite the signing of a peace agreement with a separatist movement. Human rights defenders and political activists were harassed and some were briefly detained, while a human rights organization was banned.

Human rights defenders

Human rights defenders remained at risk of persecution. In September, members of the Provincial Criminal Investigative Police (DPIC) arbitrarily arrested human rights defender Raul Danda at the airport in Cabinda city. He was unlawfully detained at the DPIC
headquarters for more than the 48 hours allowed by law. He was charged with instigating, inciting and condoning crimes against the security of the state, and transferred to the Cabinda Civil Prison. He was released four weeks later pending trial, but his trial had not
started by the end of the year. Raul Danda is a member of the human rights organization Mpalabanda–Cabinda Civic Association,which was banned by the Cabinda Provincial Court in July for alleged involvement in political activities. An appeal against the ban had not been heard by the end of the year.

Cabinda

In August the government and the Cabindan Forum for Dialogue (Forum Cabindés para o Diálogo, FCD) signed a peace agreement to end the armed conflict in the province. The agreement provided for the demilitarization of combatants of the armed Front for the Liberation of the Cabinda Enclave (Frente de Libertação do Enclave de Cabinda, FLEC) and their integration in the Angolan Armed Forces (Forças Armadas Angolanas, FAA) and government. It also provided for an amnesty for crimes against the security of the state committed in the context of the armed conflict, which was subsequently approved by the National Assembly. However, FLEC and other organizations rejected the agreement, saying that it had been signed by a former President of the FCD who had been expelled from the organization in April and that he did not represent their views. Following the signing of the peace agreement there were unconfirmed reports of fighting between FAA and FLEC combatants.

There were no known investigations into numerous reports of human rights violations by the police and the FAA in Cabinda, including extrajudicial executions, torture, rape and arbitrary detentions.
b In January Francisco Banheva was beaten by soldiers who found him and his wife working their fields in the Mbata-Missinga area of Ncutu commune, disobeying a FAA order specifying the days that people in the area could tend their fields. He reportedly died as a result of the beating the next day.

In June, the new Angolan Catholic bishop, whose appointment in February 2005 from outside the province had provoked violent protests, took office.

Following the swearing-in ceremony, police reportedly arrested 28 members of Mpalabanda who were meeting to discuss the establishment of good relations with the new bishop. They were released without charge later that day.


We ask Why? Why was Father Jorge Casimiro Kongo taken to Prison

1 May 2007

Father Jorge Casimiro Kongo, defender of the Human basic rights of the oppressed Cabinda People

Why has Father Jorge Casimiro Kongo been arrested by the MPLA on the 21 April 2007 and is still detained today 1 May 2007.

The tensions in the centre of the Clergy of Cabinda had intensified since the nomination of the Bastard Filomeno Vieira Days from the MPLA, cousin of Hélder Vieira Days "Kopelipa", head of the Military House of the Presidency of the MPLA and considered by the newspaper "Angolense Weekly" has one of the richest men of Angola.

So We Ask Why as the Bastard of Filomeno Dias, asked the MPLA “police” to impression the Cabinda Natural Priest Jorge Casimiro Kongo.

José Marcos Mavungo, Cabinda Citizen

Human Rights Activist

Cabinda February 1, 2007

"Therefore it is not certainly with large military personnel present in Cabinda, neither it is with the threats to the Human Right Activists and to the Armed Resistance that will bring peace to Cabinda. History shows us that force doesn’t produce righteousness, that guerrillas are almost never defeated, that in the long run these “David’s” will eventually defeat “Goliath” by the strategy of saturation".

"Portanto, não serão certamente os grandes efectivos militares presentes em Cabinda, nem tão pouco às ameaças aos activistas dos Direitos Humanos e à resistência armada, que trarão a paz para Cabinda. Aliás, a história nos ensina que a força não faz o direito, que guerrilheiros quase nunca são derrotados, que no longo prazo esses "Davids" derrotam "Golias" pela estratégia da saturação"

"We Cabindans, our children, our wives and our old, helpless parents have come, to the attention of the MPLA, to seek truth and protection from the government of which you are not legaly mandated to head, form or constitute. We are impoverished and oppressed, unbearable conditions are imposed on us, we are despised and not recognized as human beings. We are treated as slaves, who must bear their fate and be silent. We have suffered terrible things, but we are pressed ever deeper into the abyss of poverty, ignorance and lack of rights."

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Adopted and proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III) of 10 December 1948

On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the full text of which appears in the following pages. Following this historic act the Assembly called upon all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and "to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories."

PREAMBLE

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,
Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,
Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,
Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,
Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,
Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

On the fourth day, she was forced to dress in an FAA uniform to serve as a guide to lead the army to her brothers, who were reportedly members of FLEC. When she refused, an officer slapped her 80 times on the hand with the side of a machete. She was released shortly thereafter.


Reaffirmation Letter of the Constitution
of the Independence of the Republic of Cabinda

"The People and the Regency of the Republic of Cabinda, reminding the Peoples of the world that have Proclaimed the Letter of the United Nations and accepted the Letter of Havana", along with the “Universal Declaration of the Human Rights”, the “Convention of Vienna on Relationships Diplomats” the Resolution 1514, the Resolution 1803 of the United Nations, and keeping in mind the text of the same in which affirms: "That the Peoples of the world have proclaimed in the Letter of the United Nations that they are resolved to reaffirm the faith in the fundamental rights of all humans, in the dignity and the human person's value, in the equality of men and women rights and of the big and small nations, and to elevate the level of life inside a wider concept of the freedom, equality, respect, wisdom and fraternity."

That the frontiers of the present territory called Angola were fixed by foreign European powers in the conference of Berlin 1884-1885, where it is evidenced that the Nation Country and Territory of Cabinda is not and has never been part of the so called territory of Angola, besides that they always have been two separate territories geographically and had never shared a border among themselves, not have they shared any frontier, as well as it is both in the ethnic and linguistic level.

All the countries signatories to the Conference of Berlin on the 26th February 1885 (Great Britain, Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, The Low Countries, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, and the United States of North America), they took knowledge that the Kingdom of Portugal signed the Treaty of Simulambuco on the 1st of February 1885 with the Governors and Princes of Cabinda and later on, they made it to be recognized, homologated and used in conformity to that of the Records of Berlin on the 26th of February of 1885, in this manner the territory of Cabinda became a Portuguese Protectorate and their Status of Protectorate was countersigned by the inclusive b) of the paragraph 2 of the Article 16 of the "Letter of Havana" of the 24th of March 1948.

The constitution of Portugal of 1933 clearly states that the territory of Cabinda, distinct from any other territory including that of Angola.

As well many Official documents of the United Nations and of the World Trade Organization clearly state and consider the territory of Cabinda different and independent to the territory of Angola.

Both the Organization for African Unit (OUA) in 1964, identifies Cabinda the territory with number 39 in the list to be decolonized and states the territory of Angola a totally different number giving it the number 35, clearly separating both countries, further more the United Nations on the 20th of November 1962 took notice of the desire for auto determination of the People of Cabinda.

The peoples of the world, aware of the growing conflicts that it originates the fact of denying the freedom to those peoples or to impede it, which constitutes a direct and serious threat to the world peace....

Convinced that all the peoples are entitled to an inalienable right to absolute freedom, to the exercise of their sovereignty and the total integrity of their national territory...

Proclaiming the necessity to put a quick end, and unconditionally to colonialism in all its forms and manifestations for the achievement of economic, social and cultural development of the militant peoples...

The People of Cabinda reaffirms solemnly before the international community, based on popular free will, and based on the principles of democratic alternatives:

The constitution of a Free, Independent and Sovereign State, governed by a national Constitutional Democratic system, of African Humanist tendency, of Christian progressive confession that acquires has its form of regime that of the Republic of Cabinda. In accordance with its doctrine, orientation it declares itself has an African Free and Sovereign State, as well for its own free and spontaneous will proclaims:

6. The adhesion to the Declaration on the Concession of the Independence to the Countries and colonial peoples.

7. The adhesion to the Convention of Vienna on Diplomatic Relationships.

Affirms its support to all the Movements of Liberation of all Peoples under unlawful colonial dominance.

In this historical time we had been able to maintain and recover more than 80% of our territory, all Cabindas; Reaffirm the Constitution of Independence of the Republic of Cabinda, and we request our siblings and all the lawfully elected and constituted countries of the world to RECOGNIZE diplomatically Our Nation, at the same time that it manifests its aspiration of establishing reciprocal relationships based on friendship, cooperation and in the non inference in its internal issues.

The Republic of Cabinda, requests from international community that believe in the values of freedom, justice, equality of the men, as the respect to the self-determination of Peoples has a fundamental base for the progress of the whole world and a future of peace and friendship among the nations of the world:

That they may support us in the building and in the development of Our Nation to guarantee, a better future for all Cabindas.

UNPO General Assembly VIII

Adopts Resolution on Situation in Cabinda

2006-11-01

The UNPO General Assembly;

Considering that Article 73, Chapter XI, of the United Nations Charter recognizes the Right of all peoples to self-determination;

Emphasising that Cabinda was and is a Portuguese protectorate by virtue of the Treaty of Simulambuco in 1885;

Considering that when it was founded in May 1963, the Organisation of African Unity recognised Cabinda as the 39th territory on the African continent to be decolonized, and that this reality has since been ignored;

Regretting that Portugal, former protecting power, has abandoned the territory of Cabinda, its protectorate, without organizing a referendum for self-determination to allow the Cabindan people to choose their future; in violation to all the treaties of Chimfuma (1883), Chicamba (1884), and Simulambuco (1885), instead illegally annexing the Territory of Cabinda to Angola;

Expressing grave concern at the continued violations of human rights in the Territory of Cabinda, including inter alia extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, killings of civilians, torture, arbitrary arrest and detention, deaths in custody, absence of due process of law, severe restrictions on freedoms of opinion, expression, assembly and association, violations of freedom of movement, forced relocation, and the imposition of oppressive measures directed in particular at human rights defenders in Cabinda;

Concerned by the persecution of Cabindan refugees in Congo Brazzaville and Congo Kinshasa (RDC), as well as their forced repatriation without guarantees or security and in spite of the decision taken in January 2004 by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees;

Concerned by the arbitrary imprisonment of Mr. Raul Danda, spokesperson of the Cabindan Civil Association MPALABANDA, as well as other members of this organisation;

Concerned by the recent imprisonment of members of the Catholic Church at the request of the Angolan Bishop Filomeno;

Pleased by the formation of the Forum for Dialogue and Peace, composed of members of the various liberation movements, civil society and the church, and so forming the broadest possible platform for negotiating a peaceful resolution to the Cabinda conflict;

Concerned about the so-called Agreement for Peace and Cessation of Hostility, signed by the Government of Angola and a small group of Cabindan people in the name of the Forum for Dialogue, but without consultation, participation and agreement of its members, nor with the people of Cabinda, and therefore without any legitimacy.

Therefore, we urge The UNPO General Assembly to:

1. Condemn all human rights abuses committed in Cabinda by the Army of the Republic of Angola;

2. Call upon the Government of the Republic of Angola to Respect the Cabindan Peoples’ rights, including their right to self determination;

3. Call upon the conflicting parties, in particular the Government of Angola, to commit themselves to an honest dialogue, aimed at finding a peaceful solution to the conflict through broad-based negotiations and consultations with legitimate interlocutors;

4. Call upon the Republic of Angola to stop all acts of intimidation and forced repatriation of Cabindan refugees whilst there is no peace in the territory;

5. Strongly urge the Government of the Republic of Angola to release immediately and unconditionally detained political leaders, including Raul Danda, as well as all other political prisoners and all other prisoners of conscience;

6. Call once again upon all companies, including multi-national oil companies, operating in Cabinda, to respect the human rights and self-determination of the People of Cabinda, including their right to manage and control the natural resources of their land;

7. Encourage humanitarian organizations and governments to come to the aid of Cabindan refugees in the Democratic Republic of Congo-Kinshasa, Republic of Congo-Brazzaville, and elsewhere, who are living under dire conditions, and without educational opportunities;

8. Request the General Secretary of UNPO to strongly consider despatching a UNPO mission to Cabinda in order to assess the dire conditions of the people and to report these back to UNPO.

THE KILLING OF THE BAKONGO BY THE MPLA OR THE GENOCIDE OF THE BAKONGO TRIBE IN LAND OCCUPIED
BY THE MPLA OF ANGOLA

22 January 1993: The MPLA Military forces and the Angolan national police have massacred civilians, mostly Bakongo in several cities.

Several reports suggest that this was a deliberate attempt by the MPLA (composed of Kimbundo & Sao Tomense ethnic tribes) to deliberately destroy the Bakongo Tribe, Ethnic Cleansing. The number of dead is confirmed to be in the hundreds, most reports suggest between 100 to 150 dead. Some Ovimbundu were also killed. This massacre, is called "Bloody Friday" perpetuated.

A N'Kongo, is a son of this land bequeathed by our ancestors which presently is annexed to something called angola.

In this non existent country product of the ignorant Portuguese colonial mind we find the Kimbundu tribe overruling the Ovimbundu and other tribes, in this fictitious Country referred form now on as angola. The capital of this fictitious state is called Sao Pedro de Luanda to give its full portuguese colonial name and was established as the fictitious angolan country's capital by the Constitution; no one knows who voted for such a constitution.

It is funny that a city that occupies an area in Kimbundu's tribe was chosen as the capital. In this fake state called angola if you are from Luanda or knowing the Kimbundu language makes you a true angolan, or "more" angolan than others, we Bakongos are not angolans and we wish nothing to do with the angolans if the Kimbundu and the Ovimbundu wish one another so mote it be but we Bakongos wish neither.

We would like to remind the International Community of our feelings, just as BEN GURION extolled for the creation of today's State of Israel.

Consult history, it is written by men, we, Bakongos, already had our State, we do not need to create it again because it already existed, and it still exists.

We are not "Zairians", the name Zairian comes from the Zaire River that was written by Diogo Cao because he did not know, how to pronounce the word "N'zadi". We do not belong to angola, or anybody. We have our history and culture, and we will never succumb to its destruction, no matter who that would be, kinfua nfua kimpinga m'pinga vo ka mu ntekelo ko, mu muana.

Let it be known that we are Bakongos, children of King N'Zinga a N'Kuvu, from the Kongo, and neither murderers nor public infractions will make us turn our backs to our African and Bakongo dignity.

It is terrible to die just for being Mukongo. Who is the native that cannot live in the capital of his country? Why is it a crime being a Kikongo? No one will be able to say that this oil that angola is so proud of comes from the Kicongos land. Have we ever asked for compensation? Or put this in a check? Who are the ones that kill us? And why do they kill us? Aren't we humans?

We demand an explicit action by the unelected State Government of the fictitious state of angola and the religious authorities, and the unelected political parties, without pretexts or hidden motives. Shall we continue to watch impatiently our brothers die just because they do not know how to speak Portuguese well? What is the official national language, portuguese or Kikongo? Who is angolan, Paulo Dias de Novais or Nimi a Lukeni? What's the crime for wearing the cloth? In Africa, only the "exiled" wear the cloth. In Togo, Nigeria, Zambia, Cameroon, Congo, Zaire, and even Mozambique, has anyone ever killed a person for wearing the cloth? We are all tired of knowing that during Carnival in Victoria, angolan traditional party, people dance with cloths in the parades. Why don't they dance with wearing pants, which is considered other people's culture? Is this African? Let's think about the ones that are against the cloth...

Why are people in this fake state of angola killed because they don’t speak portuguese and they only speak kikongo? What's the reason for this sacrilege? Why are we the ones to be sacrificed? Is it because we are weak? Less fanatic? The ones that like the Bible?

During the fight against the European coloners the Bakongo people where at the forefront of the fight and the list of Kicongo great heroes is long. But let's remember only the leaders Benedito, Bufa, M'Bidi Emilio, N'donda and others... in the so called second war of liberation; no one remembers commandant Mawete, and Moni mambu. In the end our contribution was nil. And now, talking about the exiled ones who during the colonial oppression did not go to Brazil, Portugal, Zambia, Zaire or Congo looking for tranquillity?

Nevertheless, whomever is the exiled will be also the next category of innocent children that escaping this month in Soyo to Zaire, as well as in the Lundas to the same destination? Why aren't we understood in the countries where we went looking for asylum?

Does any portuguese suffer retaliation at the beach? Or is any angolan exiled from Portugal told to stop the taxi and be forced to speak Kimbundu as a life saving test? This is hatred and surpasses the justification for power and people's rage, after all, what people, the same ones that we are part of, and no one help us during that bloody Friday, nor protected us from the crazy policemen. IT'S ALL A LIE, no victim in this world is able to forget his aggressor; we saw a police car (Nissan) using speakers at the Asa Branca square saying: "Let's get rid of all exiled ones, it's not by accident nor is the people the perpetrators of these horrendous crimes inspired by our democratic press, the popular educator that since 1976 has never been able to see the difference between a Mucongo and a Zairian, consequently, some of the dead (N'Simba Antonio...) did not know where Zaire's border was, they were born in colonial ruled Mbanza Congo Angolan and killed in Mbanza Congo MPLA Angolan Army controlled territory, therefore, where were they exiled from? But the MPLA unelected Deputy Minister of Communication that controls everything is not passed just because he is not from Uige, was never in Zaire, even in FNLA and afterwards USA? Only if he is "zaza" not American nor Uncle Sam nor Yankee. This is dangerous. Would it be a vendetta against the Bakongos? We cannot continue to cry, they attack us Bakongos everyday. There's not a day that goes by that an exiled person is not beaten and people get money in the Kwanzaas and Congolese’s.

Why do the policemen that patrol Mabor and Palenca walk around with pockets filled with money? We do not have a newspaper to help us Bakongos.

Why? Is it fear? Or familiarity and crime complicity? Who could accept seeing a dead woman with a knife in her vagina? Where are the human rights? Just because she wore the cloth? Unfortunately, besides the accidents that cannot be helped in Bakongo territory, there are also incomprehensible murders. An exiled man was cut up just because decided to sell his things at the "Roque". Where is the crime?

What happened to the public peace? When the MPLA police in plain view of the Congolese shot a young lady because she pronounced the letter “R” with a stronger accent while pronouncing the word Rice (Arroz).

At lgreja Evangelica Baptista de Neves Bendinha (Neves Bendinha Baptist Church), our bibles were burned by the MPLA. Why throw rocks at the worshipers at lgreja da Samba (Samba Church), when all of us heard the MPLA unelected government's “commitment” during the Pope's visit to Angola? If you want to see for yourself go to Neves Bendinha and you will see that the church's lot was divided by people that built their houses with parts of the church, and all of this was done without the unelected MPLA government's interference.

Why all this anger, the vote? Dr. Savimbi won the elections in Uige and Zaire provinces or was UNITA the winner? But, who are the ones that accuse us of voting for UNITA, and why should this be a crime?

Today, in the artificial country of Angola newspaper, they have in the past printed and accusing us from coming to their capital Luanda wearing slippers and today we have homes and video.

These same newspapers remain silence in reference to the origin of the money of many, foreign cars, and houses repaired with foreign money, and also by foreign companies.

After all, who owns the apartment in the City of Porto in Europe where the unelected MPLA Deputy Minister of Education goes during is repeated vacations? Is she also an exiled? Has the press ever told the people about the punishment received by Monty that watched a warehouse burn during the South African march, and afterward became the Minister of Oil and left the Bakongos land? Stole money and went to France, the whole press heard that, but now with his reappearance in Luanda, he is remodelling his mansion along with Dnefa, right in front of that same Angolan newspaper.

We are Bakongos; they force us to consider ourselves as such because we do not see other crimes.

If it is the fact of being Zairians, why not invade the Zairian Embassy that is located in Vila Alice instead of looking for them at the square and surely not finding them. Getting them mixed up with Bakongos, 40 people dead is not the balance of the Blood Friday massacre, or three injured, we know the victims because the majority are our mothers, aunts and sisters: the grieve belongs to all Bakongos, you see in their sad faces.... It is not worth just crying, the democracy will come someday and we will have other journalists and certainly not the Kukas and Kokas, that the biographies are not interested in mentioning.

Everyone should seriously meditate about the jokes and caricatures shown in the Angola newspaper that insults and aims always at the Bakongos before the silence from all Bakongos.... If someone could lend us a Nelson Mandela instead of those that carry around diplomatic passports, each and everyone should seriously ponder at home, work, street, church, beach, and everywhere, about the next massacre, are we going to be alive? Despite the police being well equipped like any modern police force in the planet and without UNITA in Luanda, they displayed inaptitude, and even helped to kill. It is not a coincidence nor a crime committed by the "lumpanos" as they intend to claim. How can it be explained the crimes taking place at the same time, during the same time frame, in the same day, miraculously coinciding with the siege of Palanca, Petrangol, and Mabor to Rocha Pinto where traffic police were seen armed with AK machine gun.

We have our land, our towns Landa, Soyo, M'Banza Congo, Kimbele, Sanza Pombo, Zombo, Damba, Bembe, Negage, Cangola, and others are Bakongo land, and there we were never considered foreigners. We would like to question ourselves and to have an explanation regarding the oil that is taken from Cabinda and from Soyo, Bakongos land. How can we be victims of this oil? Or victims of the arms purchased with the money from this oil? We heard the civil defence people say: let's get rid of all Zairians. Everyone knows that in Luanda there is no distinction between the two categories, despite the fact that the second ones were also victims of the first ones during the exile in Zaire and in Congo. Where should we go? We will be in agreement to evacuate Luanda, but the Government of the national unit must comply with the following conditions:

1. The dismissal of all Bakongos from the FAA (Angolan Armed Forces) because no foreigner dies in a foreign land and in no country of the world a foreigner is admitted into the armed forces;

2. Provide means of transportation: planes, trucks and boats to be leased with money from our oil and from our coffee so we can return to our native provinces;

3. Registration of the ones who do not wish to return to the provinces, with resident alien cards, with the process in DNEFA, so they can also earn compensation like others we cannot mention here.

We do not want to play with the soul of our loved ones. We have religion and culture. Because of this, any Mucongo in Angola, wherever you are, should always remember Bloody Friday as a day of Remembrance; another massacre just took place in the country, the strongly desired to exterminate Bakongos has started due to the austerity of our Culture and Traditions. They consider us passe... the massacres in Malanje, in Lubango (neighbourhood of Mitcha), and in Kuito (Girao Hotel), where it is understood that the victims were associated with UNITA, a grey war zone, but there is no justification for 22 January1993 massacre of the Bakongos, because, for a long time now, the unelected government has been in control of the public order in the town. Each one should draw his own conclusions.

Who wants to exterminate us? Who do we bother? Do not sleep brothers.

UNITA members are not the only one that can fire a gun. We can crown our King because the heir to the Bakongo Throne still exists and we know him we have with us a copy of the letter sent by Eduardo Pinnock, the father, not the famous son Johnny Pinnock, to the State Department of the United States on May 20, 1956 and signed by Barros Nekaka and others this does imply us with UPA. We also have the movement manifesto of Fuberto Youlou's regrouping the Congo people, and also the foundation of the Portuguese Congo in 1884 by the invading Portuguese colonial authorities which we did not invited.

We know where to start because history will not forgive our weakness. Congo existed once as a State and it can exist again.

The MPLA press only writing articles whenever a plane from Lisbon or Paris arrives in Luanda with suitcases filled with clothing, but look for "exiled ones" to sell in Roque and afterwards divide the money. We are not the ones; we cannot continue to die in silence.

After all who are the ones that deceive us, exiled or not? Who gets us killed? When the human rights problem encountered by Angola has caught the attention of the UN committee? Who are the ones that benefit with this? We cannot remain silent. There is not reason for slums in Luanda when everywhere you look in Luanda you can see cars that cost as much as a three bedroom house. After all who are the thieves, is it the exiled that condemn the people to live in this poverty? Have you ever met a "retro" that has purchased super stores in Alvalade or Miramar? Have you ever seen the name of one of them in lists that they are going to buy such factories, industries, pharmacies, etc.... that are for sale? What's the reason for such anger?

Let's all ponder: Bakongo Nation Defend your selves.

Box 2. Mismanagement of State Resouces: The Case of Cabinda

The Angolan MPLA Provincial Government of Ocupation in Cabinda took the courageous step of publishing its expenditure (with no information about how this related to its budget), which showed just how resources are wasted.

In 2003, it spent $US2,399,998 in Christmas gifts and $US1,820,744 to buy cars from contracts totaling $US6,011,000. The local public purse coughed up $US120,000 to mow the tiny lawn of the Governor’s residence, $US449,000 in furniture for the local government’s office, $US80,000 in toys, and $US85,000 for Miss Cabinda.

The authorities disbursed only $US40,000 to support the communes and $US87,000 to lend a hand to the province’s municipalities.

INVESTORS BEWARE OF THE DRAGON

04 ARPIL 2007

Cabinda - A few clarifications needed: there is vast information in portuguese language but not so much in English on exactly what is the real situation and what is happening in Cabinda and what is Cabinda, it seems that the unelected MPLA which invaded militarily Cabinda is claiming to have convinced the Cabinda people that; their neo-colonial presence, is or would be acceptable to us Cabindans, this is totally nonsense.

Misinformation is circulating and being printed by "Newsweek" and lately we have read in amusement "Reuters" claiming that the "unelected" MPLA Government in Angola has signed a peace treaty with FLEC, Reuters is obviously deliberately misinforming people or it is just printing MPLA propaganda. Reuters also claims that The President of Cabinda His Excellency N’Zita Henriques Tiago is apparently a faction of FLEC, absurd this is obviously both stupidity and ignorant reporting! It seems obviously that this type of misinformation is being feed to their readers in the interest of stock market speculation of those oil companies that are "hoping" to drill in Cabinda, and furthering by so doing the suffering of the martyr Cabinda people.

May we understand and comprehend that Cabinda is not privately owned by the MPLA neither nor part of Angola neither it wishes to be such. To claim or trying to convince us Cabindas of other wise its totally nonsense, we Cabindas will never permit the MPLA or the Angolan occupation of our land.

Mr. Bento Bembe is a well known criminal and was the leader of something called FLEC-Renovada this organizations was created by the influence of Mr. Pitra Pretoff an MPLA governor placed in Cabinda which gave weapons for the creation of the FLEC-Renovada, in this way with the creation of two “FLEC’s” the Angolan unelected government could allege that there are two factions and they don’t know which one to deal with.

In Cabinda there have been several groups claiming several things but one thing is certain FLEC there is only one and it is lead by the President of all Cabindas His Excellency N’Zita Henriques Tiago.

Conclusion

Concerning the so called peace treaty fabricated by the MPLA, it is a joke. We have read the nonsense of such a document and we may inform that you also should judge for your self’s on the validity and the deep ignorance and stupidity of such a document. Let it be known that 99.9% of the Cabinda population is fed up with the presence of the foreign Angolans in our land.
War and crimes of war still exist and are being committed by the MPLA in Cabinda against the Cabinda people.

War exists and its forced upon us by the occupiers, and what is keeping the MPLA afloat is the money they receive from the Cabinda Oil which is used in its 90% to fund the MPLA Government structure without this oil revenues there is no MPLA in power in Angola.

We foresee and predict the Fall of the MPLA regime and its reign of Evil to come to and end during 2007.

And may the Lord help us, may Saint George patron Saint of Cabinda guide us in our righteous battle against the MPLA.

So mote it be.

INVESTORS IN CABINDA BE CAUTIOUS

MURDER IN CABINDA

Angolan MPLA Armed Forces Torture and Kill Cabinda Civilians in new wave of Human Rights violations in Cabinda

20 DECEMBER 2006

Cabinda civil society has denounced that the violations of human rights in Cabinda continues. Accused are the MPLA the Armed Forces of Angola of beating up Cabinda citizens accused of belonging to and collaborating with the Cabinda Liberation Front, FLEC.

On the 20th November 2006, at about 15h00, António Zau (in the photo), 29 years old, son of Agostinho Nhimi and of Joana Lubanda, a father of 6, from Micuma II, Mayombe, living in the village of Mbongo-zi-Minu (MBuku-NZau municipality), “was shot dead (3 shots) by a group of MPLA-FAA (MPLA - Armed Forces of Angola) soldiers, on the road between Mbongo-zi-Munu the village of Nsindi” in Cabinda.

According to the document, distributed by the Human Rights (DH) activists in Cabinda, António Zau was returning from hunting in the forest close to the village, he was approached by MPLA Angolan soldiers who “immediately accused him of belonging to the FLEC resistance”, “this was motive enough for the soldiers to murder him in cold blood”. Following the shooting, “the executioners cut open their victims belly, spilling out his intestines”. News of the death of António Zau was spread in the village Mbongo-zi-Munu by the very same soldiers who “asked the family to keep silent, in exchange for which they would pay all funeral expenses”, a promise which would not be kept.

On the 25th of November 2006, the inhabitants of the villages of Massabi commune “had a terrifying start to the day”. Around 03:00AM, the MPLA FAA began an operation to “remove all male citizens aged between 14 and 60 from their homes.” According to the Human Rights activists, the “allegation put forth to justify the operation, led by the Chief of Staff of the Second Military Region (Cabinda), the MPLA General Carlitos Wala (the same who murdered Dr. Savimbi), was that “these villagers had been lending logistic support to FLEC forces” and that, “by dislodging them from their area, this kind of support could be reduced or even eliminated.” Therefore, according to the same source, all the men and adolescents of the villages of Nkumbu-Liambu, Caio, Liku, Icazu, Tchela, Loango Pequeno, Weca, Liambu-Liona, Tchiloti, Tchicamba, Tchibueti, Simu l’Incondu, Mandarim, Bitchékete, Mbuku-Sókotu, Ngomangu, kumbu-Liambu, Manenga, Tchissangu and others, were rounded up, “put on URAL brand military trucks and taken to headquarters of the local command zone”.

The friends and family women, upset by the soldiers` murderous actions, got together and “made their way to the place where their sons, brothers and husbands had been taken”, calling for their immediate release. These women “said that if the men were not released, they would not move, not matter what the soldiers did to them.” Due to the strong pressure, the soldiers “decided to let the prisoners go, but not before having photographed all of them and make a registry of their identification (name, age, parentage, etc…)”. The MPLA soldiers, however, “refused to take them back to their houses, a task entrusted to some local economic entities, who had their own means of transport.”

On the 2nd December of 2006, at around 10:00AM, Gabriel Buku, 42 years old, driver of the ETP bus, of the MAN brand, license plate CBA-74-42, which covers the Cabinda-Lândana - Mbuku-Nzau - Belize routes, son of José Jimbi and Antonieta Buku, father of 10, and his two helpers, José Bambi Muanda, 31 years old, son of Daniel Muanda and Angelina Pemba, father of 3; and João Hilário Capita, 20 years old, son of Lourenço Capita and Josefina Lubota, “were tortured by the Angolan MPLA FAA soldiers, in the village of Mbongo-zi-Munu”, denounced the same Human Rights activists.

In the document, they state that an unknown number of Angolan soldiers ordered the bus to stop, but “thinking they wanted to hitch a ride, the driver did not stop, but merely slowed down to signal to them that the bus was full and then carried on.” The soldiers, “annoyed, took a Toyota Hiace van, which happened to be passing by, and set off in pursuit.” Close to the village of Micuma III, the Toyota Hiace overtook the bus and blocked its passage. The soldiers “burst into the bus and began to beat the driver Gabriel Buku, forcing him to return to Mbongo-zi-Munu”. Here, all the passengers were forced off the bus, “and a real beating session began on the bus driver and his two assistants.”

Finally, the driver and his assistants, badly beaten, were allowed to continue their journey, but only “taking the women they were transporting”. The 20 or so men were forbidden to go on. The soldiers alleged they “stopped the bus to look for male citizens accused of being FLEC elements that travel on vehicles along that road, attacking FAA soldiers”. The same activists state that the “fate of the 20 or so men, aged between 14 and 60, are as yet unknown”.

Disputes Over On Shore Oil Resources Prompts Cabindan Request for African Union Intervention

Banjul, The Gambia:

30 September 2006 - Citing an Angolan grab for disputed oil and mineral resources and the growing threat of an all-out war, the Republic of Cabinda, FLEC-FAC (Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda – Armed Forces of Cabinda), and The National Bank of Cabinda have filed an urgent request for intervention by the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights.

Angolan forces in Cabinda have launched an offensive against Cabindan positions in the northeast of the country and have struck inside the Democratic Republic of the Congo since a failed peace accord was struck in August with the renegade Cabindan commander, Antonio Bento Bembe. The so called peace accord was immediately denounced by all Cabindan factions including FLEC-FAC, Mpalabanda, and the Cabinda Forum for Dialogue (Forum Cabinda for Dialogue, FDC). The Angolan democratic opposition, UNITA, has also questioned the so-called accord’s exclusion of the Cabindan President N'zita Henriques Tiago.

Civil disturbances and spontaneous demonstrations against Bento Bembe have been countered by Angolan troops with live ammunition. FLEC-FAC forces have struck back at Angolan troops in a number of skirmishes. Based on the sham agreement, Angola has assured foreign companies that the untapped mineral and oil rich on shore regions of Cabinda are now safe for exploitation. However, the liberated zones of Cabinda remain in the hands of FLEC-FAC and Chinese and Australian firms have been warned not to enter the territory which holds vast oil reserves and gold, diamonds and uranium which have essentially remained untouched since the Cabindan conflict began in 1974.

Cabinda has asked the African Union’s Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights to appoint a special rapporteur and lend its good offices towards urgently settling the dispute.

Roc Oil signs 2-yr contract with Simmons Drilling for rig to drill Cabinda

LONDON (AFX) - Roc Oil Company Limited said it has signed a two-year contract with Simmons Drilling Overseas Ltd for the Simmons 80 Rig, which is expected to start drilling onshore Cabinda between March and May 2007 (The Field Marshall of the Cabinda Resistance Shall be there to meet and greet the robbers). The 1,200 horsepower rig is currently being upgraded in Dubai. Roc is allowed to terminate the contract early if it pays a break fee and it can assign the rig to other operators in the region. In addition to the arrangement with Simmons, ROC said it is continuing to investigate the merits of bringing the 100 pct ROC-owned 750 horsepower Explorer rig from the UK to Angola which could allow drilling to start prior to end-2006. Chief executive John Doran stated that: 'As everybody knows, the rig market is tight. It is particularly tight when you are looking for a rig to drill in an area where nobody has drilled for 34 years. War against the Cabinda Population is being waged by the unelected MPLA Marxist Leninist party of Angola.


CONSCIENCIA CULTURAL – CABINDOFILO

10 October 2006 - Cabindan people demand the immediate release of their leader Raul Manuel Danda

The deprivation of the legal representation for the accused person in the sense of taking his right as retribution for his/her crime must be considered out-moded and barbaric. It has no place in modern society. The right to legal representation is an internationally recognized reality and should not be altered through national legislation which is arbitrary to the constitution and rules of law.

Mr Raul Manuel Danda, head of family, a journalist and actor by profession , spokesperson of the only local voice of Human Rights in Cabinda the Mpalabanda Association Civic of Cabinda ( M.A.C.C ), was recently banned by the Angolan regime in Cabinda. He was arrested by the police of the Angolan authority in his return from Luanda in the local airport for the reason unknown to everybody in the territory.

The man is languishing in an isolated cell where he is refrained of all human conditions (food, water, visitors and is sick with no treatment ). Moreover, his lawyer was not allowed to access him when he made his first appearance in the local court of Cabinda.

Medieval Society accepted all these kinds of treatments because at that stage of our development law, ethics and morality were closely interwoven. However, the international community has placed the right to legal representation at the top of list of basic human rights. Angola has followed the lead and has included these rights in the constitution of 1992 though it is not yet reflecting the standard required internationally. Confusion exist about weather the constitution is Supreme or the Parliament is Sovereign.

Certainly , the kind of attitude displayed to Mr Danda by the angolan authorities will not constitute punishment in advance on the basic of suspicion because it breaches the rules and norms of the international law which stipulates in its Human Rights Declaration that ''Every accused person is still innocent until found guilty before a court of law in a trial conducted fairly , where the state respected the proceedings , norms and rules of law of ''EVIDENCE ''. Contrary to this constitution a violation of individual rights – which is cruel ,degrading ,inhuman ,brutal and barbaric . This behaviour has to be strong condemned in the face of the current legal opinion both nationally and internationally.

The people of Cabinda are victimised and hostages in their own land, and therefore , demand with no delay the immediate release of their leader who was arrested for no apparent reason.


Public whipping, beating and firing of arms to the air in the Airport of Cabinda or the Soap Opera of the scenes of apprehension of the journalists and Human Rights Activists in Cabinda.

BENTO BEMBE - JUDAS

Auferte malum ex vobis

Neste momento ocorre na rádio local a voz do papagaio Bento ameçando tudo e todos prometendo levar uns ao tribunal. Bento, conseguiu sitar nomes de calaboradores da resistência e que vivem na cidade do Tchowa. Isto foi dito la na LAC uma emissora comercial na capital de Angola. Os encontros que vai tendo com certos sectores, são forçosos e a mando do governo-neocolonial.

LE TEMPS DE JUDAS

L’histoire de la bible nous enseigne que Judas Iscariote, alors disciple de Jésus, a vendu son maître aux Juifs. Plus loin, selon l’histoire, pourvu que la parole s’accomplisse.

Le Cas « CABINDA », c’est le destin de tout un peuple et de toute une nation.

Le silence qu’affiche la Direction de FLEC face à cette crise risquerait bientôt de désorienter la communauté Cabindaise et le Diaspora, fidèles à la forte et noble mission que fut incombée au Président de FLEC, son excellence Monsieur Nzita H. Tiago afin de pouvoir attendre l’objectif fondamental de ce peuple qui n’est que celui de sa souveraineté ou alors autrement dit son Indépendance totale sans avoir des comptes à rendre à l’Angola, pays néocolonialiste du Cabinda.

Quelque soit la longueur de la nuit, le soleil apparaîtra !

Qui dit Cabinda, dit FLEC et nous savons que le L5 qui parle au nom de FCD ne fait que mettre au jour l'esprit Judaïque qui ronge leurs cœurs.

L'unique et la seule personne habilitée à engager le processus cabindais est son excellence Monsieur le Président du FLEC Nzita H. Tiago car FLEC est l'unique Mouvement qui incarne la lutte Cabindaise; et lui en a le mandat.
Le FCD devra disparaître de son existânce à cause des abus commis par les élément issus de ce dernier.

La communauté cabindaise est maintenant au courant de la mission que le groupe de quatre voulait réaliser ou peut être prétend réaliser qui n’est autre que celui de l ‘ENLEVEMENT DU PRÉSIDENT DE FLEC selon le web de Silver Shadow.
Le cas BENTO n’est pas différent de celui que le groupe de quatre est entrain de mettre à l’œuvre.

Si UNITA de Savimbi a pu résister aussi longtemps que possible, c’est parce qu’il y a eu une certaine ligne de conduite à suivre et surtout qu’ils ont puni sévèrement et cela sans exception tout membré voué à la trahison.

Après avoir être déçu par Bento sur les soit disant accords de paix, le Gouvernement du MPLA étend de nouveau ses pièges de la démagogie et corruption; et comme résultat, ce sont des requins capturés que tous connaissons.

Tous hier 1ère Ceinture du Président de FLEC et aujourd’hui près pour son enlèvement !!!

On se demande quelles sont les mesures et dispositifs pris par la Direction de FLEC ?

Nous sommes conscients que « le Judas » va toujours exister au sein de notre communauté étant donnée la ruse avec laquelle MPLA capture ses proies.

Néanmoins pensons au moins à nos braves combattants qui, jour et nuit, sacrifient leur vie pour cette cause !
Alors, je pense qu’il est grand temps d’établir de mesures et sanctions pour toute personne cabindaise qui de près ou de loin vêtu d’esprit de couteau à double tranchant tenterait de nuire au bon déroulement du processus de Libertation de ce peuple qui a en mare de l’injustice de la communauté Internationale qui fait semblant de ne rien voir sur l’occupation illégale de ce territoire par l'MPLA.

Si aujourd’hui BENTO reste impuni ainsi que la bande de quatre, sachons le que demain nous parlerons d’autres cabindais qui se tourneront contre le destin de leur peuple.

QUE VIVE LA TRANSPARENCE
QUE VIVE L’INDÉPENDANCE TOTALE DU CABINDA

Cabinda the Politics of Oil

Roc Oil

Mr. John Doran, ROC CEO

Mark 8:36 "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

UN Declaration on the Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources

UN Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples

Word of caution to ROC Oil

"Cabinda’s on shore oil belongs to the people of Cabinda. Only the people of Cabinda through their legitimate state organs have the right to dispose of on shore resources. The Cabinda South Block has been leased to the Cabinda oil monopoly, Cabinda National Petroleum. Your actions are nothing more than that of a bushranger or brigand. If you operate within the liberated zones of Cabinda and that is most of the countryside where FAA forces are not garrisoned you do so at your own risk, FAC will not guarantee the safety of your men or material."

Dear Mr. J. Doran, ROC, CEO you will start drilling in onshore Cabinda When?

If you come to mainland Cabinda to drill for oil and give your company Australian Dollars to the non elected and foreign Marxist MPLA regime make sure you bring your balls between your legs made of steel because you will need it!

What would your company and the Australian people think and feel if we the Cabindan Government started mining in Australia for Opal or other minerals and paid the Indonesian government for the concession and the mining in Australian soil?

Just because the Angolan MPLA troops in Cabinda have the bigger guns does that makes their presence legitimate in Cabinda?, and what about even their legitimacy to rule the foreign country of Angola? they have neither, the end for the Angola MPLA is might their Comrade JES knows this. Go and ask him where he keeps the money he receives from oil companies like yours, (in the banks of Brazil), ask him where his son incorporated the oil company he started last year (Hong Kong) why? they know the end is might their regime cannot go on for ever. And then what are you going to do when we nationalize your assets after the collapse of the leading most corrupt organization in Africa history the MPLA, are you going to come to us saying what? Sorry we took the oil from Cabinda and paid the non elected MPLA regime! (All the money given to the MPLA regime is no where to be seen), sorry we gave the money to the MPLA to pay the construction of high rising apartment blocks in Tropical Africa who the fuck is going to live in those blocks in the sun of central Africa if not the fucking Chinese, what what expensive those 15 high apartment blocks cost.

The least we need is for ROC oil to come to Cabinda and help the unelected Marxist MPLA to fucking around in Cabinda!

Drilling in Cabinda onshore or offshore 200 miles of the coast of Cabinda is considered theft, which part you don’t understand. The occupation of the MPLA (Movement Popular Liberation of Angola) is both criminal and illegal.

The Cabindan Government is considering its response, wait for it.

Rafael Marques de Morais

Angolan journalist who exposed the slaughter of his countrymen, the plundering of the country's wealth, and the corruption of its regime.

Rafael Marques de Morais is a tenacious leader in the struggle for reform of Angola’s repressive and corrupt government, whose President, Eduardo dos Santos, was last elected in 1992. The 35-year old Marques is a journalist, public official, and representative of humanitarian organizations whose career has been marked by conflicts with the government of Angola, where, Marques says, "corruption can be defined ... as the main institution of the state." Himself a victim of the regime, Marques was imprisoned in 1999 for 40 days without charges, ten of them incommunicado, after he said in a newspaper article that the President was responsible "for the destruction of the country" and "accountable for the promotion of incompetence, embezzlement and corruption."

He was tried and convicted of the charge of abuse of the press resulting in "injury" to the President. On appeal, his sentence was suspended and he was ordered to pay damages to the President. His imprisonment became a landmark case in the quest for freedom of expression in Angola. The publicity surrounding the case generated an unprecedented level of attention from humanitarian groups worldwide to press freedom in Angola. His case was presented by the Open Society Justice Initiative and INTERIGHTS to the UN Human Rights Committee, and resulted in a ruling that Angola had violated the freedom of expression of a journalist and a call for broad liberalization of the Angolan regime.

After his release from detention, Marques turned his attention to efforts to end the civil war in Angola. He organized a coalition of 250 religious and civic leaders who called for a peaceful settlement.

A successor group, launched in 2001, stimulated the first public, independent discussion of the war and took its call for a ceasefire to Lisbon and the European Parliament.

The situation in Angola has attracted wide international attention, partly as a result of Marques’ staunch efforts to call attention to abuses there. John Reed of the Financial Times wrote last year that "with oil companies jostling for concessions, there are concerns that a country regarded as one of the most corrupt is under little pressure to improve governance."

Decimated by the brutal civil war that raged for 30 years before and after independence was gained from Portugal, Angola lost half a million people in that conflict which was supported by the Soviet Union and Western powers and their surrogates. Over four million Angolans were displaced. All but a small part of the population still lives in dire poverty, while Angolan elites have benefited from rising oil and diamond revenues. Angolans reportedly remain deeply sceptical of possibilities for change under the dictatorial regime.

Marques has noted, "This government has always been supported. The only way it has been able to maintain itself is through international forces," an indirect reference to oil and diamond mining interests, including those in the US.

His own greatest impact on the situation came from his work between 1999 and 2002, in the view of his sponsors for the Civil Courage Prize. During those years, with the aid of the Open Society Institute, he wrote extensively about the hardships endured by the populations of oil-rich Cabinda Province and of the Lunda Provinces, a main site of the diamond trade. Despite government revenues in the Lunda region that now exceed $1 billion annually, there has been practically no public investment there over the past four decades. His unvarnished criticisms of the Angolan army's brutality and the malfeasance of the government and foreign oil interests put him at extreme personal risk. However, in 2002 his efforts aided an endeavour in 2003 to discuss elections and to convene a conference on Cabinda Province and reform there.

Marques, who was born in 1971, has pursued a career that has included journalism and acting, in addition to his activities in the sphere of human rights. At the time of the first-ever democratic elections, following the 1991 peace accord signed by the MPLA government and UNITA rebels, he began to work at the Jornal de Angola, the country's only newspaper. In 1992, he covered the meetings between President dos Santos and the UNITA leaders to prevent a return to war. His subsequent involvement in labour disputes at the Jornal in 1995 forced him to leave Angola for a year, whereupon he returned to freelance for Reuters and others, as well as write regularly for weekly independent papers. More recently, he has worked as a representative in Angola for the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa, where his main aim was to aid in teacher training programs.

At present, Marques is studying at the University of London. His family remains in Angola. His publication of criticisms continues via the worldwide web and other media.

He has participated in a number of meetings on international development. Most recently:

"Transitions: A Conversation with National Leaders," New York, March 28-29 2005, held by the New York University and the International Peace Academy.
"Beyond 'Conflict Diamonds:' a New Report on Human Rights and Angolan Diamonds" at the Woodrow Wilson Centre for International Scholars, Washington DC, March 24 2005.
"Angola's Oil Curse" at the Post-Nobel Conference on "Oil Revenues – From Curse to Blessing for Developing Countries?" AlterNet.org, Marques, Rafael, December 17, 2004.

He has researched, coordinated and edited the following four human rights reports on Angola, which also address the impact of oil and diamonds in the increase of human rights abuses in regions where such wealth abounds:

2006 – The Diamonds of Humiliation and Misery. The report can be found in its entirety at www.cuango.net
2005 – Angola's deadly diamonds: Lundas, the stones of death. The report can be found in its entirety on the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars website [PDF 448kb; documents in PDF format require Adobe's Acrobat Reader].
2004 – Cabinda – A year of pain
2003 – Terror in Cabinda

In 2000, the National Association of Black Journalists of the United States presented Marques with the Percy Qoboza Award for Outstanding Courage, while the European Parliament bestowed upon him the Freedom Passport.


Why is Cabinda invaded by the MPLA

No nation has the right to invade its neighbours or the neighbours of its neighbours and call the newly invaded nations their own, maybe that was the fashion and manner of the times of barbarity , was 1974 a year of barbarity the invasion and military occupation of a tiny nation by the brutal cheer greed of a Marxist Communist Regime, aided by corporate profits, we ask do corporate profits and strategies dictate if a country is Italian, French or German? Should Texas be Mexican because such and such Corporation can make a better deal with the Mexican government than with the USA government? Are these companies ruled by law or do these companies rule the law? those at Cabinda Golf Oil Corp thought and placed themselves above the law, today their successor Chevron.

The thug and gang leader of Angola and Commander in Chief of its Armed Forces is a well know Criminal that has ordered the murderer of his political opponents such as Professor MFULUMPINGA N'Lando Victor and Dr. Savimbi, is a man that has been in power without a clear mandate or elections from the people of Angola for the last 27 years and we ask how many more years is the international community and Chevron going to assist and help this despot to continue in power, we ask where as this criminal bastard got the money to place in the Brazilian banks an amount such that he is considered by the money under is name to be the 5th richest person in Brazil. We ask is this the way that Cabinda should be ruled by a foreign despot that bring harm to both the Angolan people and the people of Cabinda. How many more years we ask that we have to be under the colonization of the Angolans how many more years do our women sisters and daughters have to suffer to horrendous violations of the lose 90.000 Angolan troops stationary in Cabinda how many more years will our Clergy be denied to right to travel abroad how many years does the Cabinda nation will be allowed to suffer? While the Chevron exploits $61.000.000 a day in oil and finances the humiliation of an entire nation while the despot in foreign Angola rules without any mandate and where one in four children die before completing one year of life, where is the ethical where is justice where is rightness where is human and corporate decency?

Comrade, José Filomeno dos Santos, a.k.a. "Zenu"

Milionaire overnight, where the money come from?

(Son of Comrade, Jose Edwardo dos Santos president you guessed of the MPLA, Head of State of Angola, Chief of the Governement, Chief of the Armed Forces of Angola, Etc...)

A Questão Cabinda

Dr. Jonas Savimbi, Grande lider Africano

Importa referir, também, a questão Cabinda. A nossa posição inequívoca é a de que Cabinda representa uma personalidade cultural e geográfica independentemente. A sua identidade como tal não pode ser negada. A imposição de uma nacionalidade as populações de Cabinda, através dos canhões, é uma mera ilusão.

Só um diálogo, estabeleceu em bases sinceras, poderá permitir que se encontre uma solução adequada, que satisfaça ambas as partes, isto é, Cabinda e Angola.

Há resistência em Cabinda. O facto de metade da população de Cabinda se encontrar refugiada na república do Zaire significa que alguma coisa não vai ali bem. O facto de, mesmo bastante oprimidos, os irmãos de Cabinda resistirem a alienação russo-cubana, representa uma vontade política que devemos respeitar.

A UNITA pensa que reconhecidos esses valores, deve cooperar-se com os Movimentos de Libertação de Cabinda para liquidar a opressão russo – cubana. Terminada a guerra, ou ainda no decurso dela, encontrar-se-ão por certo as fórmulas futuras de cooperação.

Porque Cabinda, reconhecida a sua identidade política e sócio cultural, tem todas as vantagens em cooperar com Angola, em bases claras e de reciprocidade de interesses. De contrário, Cabinda não resistira as tentações de anexão, por força superior, ou mesmo só de desestabilização, por ser um pais pequeno e bastante rico. A sua associação com Angola, a que estariam ligados, igualmente, todos os países vizinhos interessados no problema, permitiria que se alcançassem a paz e a estabilidade naquela região.

L'Afrique face à l'invasion Chinoise

Ajouté le 01/10/2006

C'est durant mon voyage au Congo Brazzaville, Congo Kinshasa et Cabinda que je me suis rendu compte que le pays de Mao (la Chine) a bel et bien envahi le continent africain. A coups de poulets congelés, friperies, alimentation à bas prix, centres sportifs et médicaments, les chinois s'arrachent le marché africain au détriment de la production locale.

D'après économie matin, 20% des ressources minières chinoises viennent d'Afrique. De mémoire, ils exportent 15 milliards vers l'Afrique et les Africains exportent 16 milliards vers l'Asie. Même si cette balance est équilibrée sur le papier, elle ne reflète pas la réalité sur le continent.

En dehors du BTP, les chinois sont en train de rentrer dans tous les secteurs de productions et même dans le petit commerce sur le continent. Ils sont partout, dans les étalages de marchés, vendant de la tomate, du sel ou même du riz. Ils se sont également renforcés dans le secteur de la restauration où de nouveaux restaurants chinois affichent pignon sur rue.

C’est dans la grande distribution que la coopération s’avère plus dangereuse. De nombreux hommes d’affaires africains qui avaient bâti leur fortune sur l’importation des produits en provenance de la Chine ferment boutique. La grogne gagne également du terrain chez les artisans locaux qui peinent à faire face à la qualité certes approximative, mais bon marché des produits chinois. De plus, les commerçants du détail commencent à se plaindre de la concurrence parfois déloyale de ces nouveaux amis.

A l’allure ou vend les choses et si rien n’est fait, les pauvres commerçants de nos villes n’auront même plus leur village pour se réfugier, la percée chinoise s’étant déjà déportée dans les campagnes, dans le secteur de l’agriculture. Et puis, il faut signaler que les chinois n’emploient généralement les locaux que pendant le temps nécessaire à l’apprentissage de la langue en vigueur dans le pays. Quant à leur influence sur l’économie locale en terme de consommation, elle est inexistante. A Pointe noire (Congo Brazzaville) par exemple, les centaines de pécheurs chinois qui ratissent matin et soir le fond des mers congolaises, consomment uniquement les produits chinois.

Dans tous les cas, il convient de prendre des dispositions urgentes visant à réglementer l’immigration chinoise. De même que les secteurs où leur présence est nécessaire. Avant que l’Afrique ne devienne le dépotoir des « mouroirs » de Chine. C’est une question de survie pour l’Afrique. A bon entendeur.

Ntala’si


Existem nestem neste momento Chineses a procura de uranium em Cabinda, nenhum Cabinda deve colaborar com os Chineses. Asim como nenhum Cabinda deve confiar nos Angolanos.

Os Angolanos estão a tentar vender as reservas de petroleo no terreno de Cabinda. O Povo de Cabinda deve estar vigilante e reportar toda e cualquer movimentacao de equipamento dentro de Cabinda.

O Governo em Exilio esta a trabalhar em silencio para a libertação da Nação.

A Nação de Cabinda só pode ser libertada pelo esforço colectivo de toda a população Cabinda.

A Nação de Cabinda só pode ser libertada pelo esforço colectivo de toda a população Cabinda.

International Criminal Court against the MPLA:

Genocide, War Crimes

The Republic of Cabinda will soon be filing a referral and request for investigation of Angolan war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity with The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno-Ocampo. This situation involves crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court committed anywhere on the territory of the Angola including the illegally occupied enclave of Cabinda since 1st July 2002, the date of entry into force of the Rome Statute.

In accordance with the Rome Statute and the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, the Prosecutor will be asked to carry out an analysis in order to determine whether to initiate an investigation.

Angolan troops invaded Cabinda on 11 November 1974. Cabinda was a Portuguese Protectorate since the signing of the Treaty of Simulambuco in 1885, and became known as the Portuguese Congo. Troops from Angola are still occupying Cabinda and committing organized atrocities against Cabindans including rape, summary execution, and genocide. The government of Cabinda and the heroic military forces of FLEC-FAC exercises control over the majority of the enclave. An Angolan military offensive begun in 2002 has included organized torture, rape, murder, and looting but has not broken the spirit of the Cabindan people.
