Les nègres du roi Gertler
22.07.2009 Africa Intelligence L’homme d’affaires israélien Dan Gertler, actif dans les mines et le pétrole au Congo-K, est sous le coup d’une enquête de la police israélienne qui veut déterminer s’il a payé des commissions au ministre des affaires étrangères du pays, Avigdor Lieberman.
On ne lui refuse rien: les diamants du Kasai, le cuivre-cobalt de KOV, le manganèse de Kisenge, l' uranium de Shinkolobwe, le cobalt de Mukondo, le fer de la province orientale, le pétrole ... Dan Gertler est le vrai roi du Congo.
Mais que pense le bon roi de ses bons nègres? Extraits de l' enquête de HAARETZ du 02.07.2009 By Gidi Weitz, Uri Blau and Yotam Feldman http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1097400.html
" They would liquidate him"
Gertler founded his company DGI (Dan Gertler International) when he was 22. At present, his business empire has stretched into Russia, Angola, England, Sierra Leone and other places, but the epicenter is the DRC. Almost every week he goes on business trips in a leased private plane. His primary destination is the DRC, where he has a spacious villa.
In mid-2001, Charles Okoto, chairman of the Congo state-run diamond-mining company Miba, visited Israel. Gertler went to the airport to welcome him, but he wasn't alone. Two men, whom Gertler later described as "Black Hebrews from Dimona," informed him that they were going to be the visitor's escorts and warned Gertler that they would liquidate him.
In 2004, Gertler began to become involved in international politics as well. He became Kabila's official personal envoy, and together with Rabbi Leibovitch worked to forge close ties between the DRC and senior officials in Washington. It can be attributed to him, for example, Congo's abstention in the UN vote on the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Gertler also met with some of the leaders of the countries around the DRC in an effort to regularize their relations with it.

'The politics of negroes'
Gertler's method of operation involves paying considerable sums of money as bribery to different individuals in the Congo government ... all in order to pave the way to a meeting with the president of Congo and to improve the terms of the future agreement that was to be struck between him and the state ... Gertler gave to Kamisa some advice on intra-African politics:
Gertler: "A kushi [a derogatory term in Hebrew for black people] who wants something from you 'sits on your vein' ... A negro likes to talk and make promise after promise, blah blah blah ...
Kamisa: "... Why did you go to the president ( L-D Kabila) the next day?"
Gertler: "Ah, because of the boy [Joseph Kabila]."
Kamisa: "Sure, because of the boy, the boy who didn't press his father?"
Gertler: "Yossi, you don't get it. I understand the politics of negroes."
