Ah here now have a look at this, the email states

She must have been aware of the shock and discouragement of all our staff. In effect she was saying: "Your excellent work is not really excellent at all, and we will work with the Norwegians to replace you in North Kivu."

Overview of some financial support offered to north Kivu from Norway https://archive.fo/CpLYH

There more info on activities in South Kivu - while geographically distinct I hope to continue to add more linkages if they exist.

Search this doc for Norway - South Kivu comes straight up - help directed towards ( among other items ) survivors of sexual violence

http://www.trustfundforvictims.org/sites/default/files/imce/Annual%20Report%20Summary%202016.pdf / http://archive.is/iAtVZ

Norways activities specifically in South Kivu brings up this report titled 'Rape with Extreme Violence: The New Pathology in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo'

http://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1000204 / http://archive.is/0GZtt

So where had all the money for North Kivu been directed any help here?

 

UPDATE: Clinton in Goma, Kivu https://archive.is/o9wIW

2009 August - US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visits Goma, promises $17 million aid for victims of sexual violence.

  • 6 days before the OP wikileaks email

So Clinton promises a lot of money to Goma, nearly more than the US offered after the volcano erupted in 2002 which displaced 3-400k people - then shafts a local institution and gives it to the Norwegans 6 days later - no wonder they were donating to her.

Side note possibly related: There may to be linkages with Norwegian Church Aid - https://www.kirkensnodhjelp.no/en/ They have been working in the congo since 1990 and operate in North and south Kivu https://archive.fo/Rbho8

I understand Clinton Foundation suspiciously replaced one charity with a different one in North Kavu.

If find your other links confusing. North Kivu and South Kivu are neighboring provinces in a state of war. So HEAL in North is replaced by Norwegians. And gangs in South are extremely violent. I do not see the connection. Also I look at the Church link and it's a giant website with lots of pages about lots of programs. Where is your linkage hiding?

Why does a state of war require that Norwegians be sent to help instead of HEAL? And why wouldn't a criminal organization work with those gangs to acquire women? Perhaps they're laundering money to fund those gangs?. And if you have people who are so used to being raped it makes it easy for them to submit to slavery. We just need to prove it and that means digging. Whatever's going on we need to find out. Funny how in an area known for violent rape gangs they switch HEAL Africa for a Norwegian group. Again Norway a country which has just busted a huge elite pedophile ring. Perhaps the Norwegian charity groups are really trafficking the women and children because they are so used to the rape and violence? Perhaps they think they will be more subservient, easier to control? All circumstantial, everything said but maybe there is a lead here.

State of War doesn't require that action. I agree it's suspect.

On the second part, the reason they wouldn't work together is because they are geographically isolated from each other. Or so it seems. By all means dig deeper and see if you can get precision on this question. Hm, it seems the hospital specializes in treating fistula, and fistula could be caused (not sure here) by violent rape. Maybe the problem is broader than just South Kavu.

Once more, do we have the names of Norwegian pedophiles? Can we link any of them to this Norwegian charity operation?

As I said it's all circumstantial. Don't you think it's strange when Norwegians are involved with both the Panzi Hospital in the South where all those rapes detailed in the report happened, and the Norwegians also replaced HEAL in the North. The report from the organisation itself states that rape is a form of biological warfare. Rape gangs pop up in South Kavu and demoralise the women there into thinking that violent rape is normal and to be expected which should never be the case. And if rape is used in warfare perhaps these Norwegian groups know or suspect or are hoping that fighting forces in the North conflict zone will also use this sexual abuse abuse to demoralise women and children there as well so that they are more subservient towards them the traffickers and the abusers who they supply. Perhaps the Norwegian groups have been using this knowledge to their advantage to traffic and abuse women and children who are of both genders with little resistance from the victims. In the South, I do wonder if they are getting tips from gangs where to find abused women. Perhaps the Norwegian charity could go to them, claiming they help, then they take them somewhere to be sent to another country. They are involved in both regions. Look at the funding cited in the document, Christian Relief Fund Norway (CRN Norway) and the Norwegian Government (DFID) they are definitely involved with work in both regions. All circumstantial I know but it could be a lead.

That is more than a bit odd. Perhaps they didn't want heal knowing something. Whatever the fuck they are doing, now that Norway is operating on both ends - it would be easier for people to disappear with no questions being asked or suspicions be aroused. It would be interesting to see the state of the war at that time.

Could be a lead. Find the connections.
