    Before leaving for Libya, Museveni held talks in Kampala with two DRC rebel leaders, Ernest Wamba dia Wamba and Jean-Pierre Bemba, the semi-official 'New Vision' reported. He called on the rival leaders to unite in the interests of peace. The newspaper quoted Wamba as saying he did not leave Goma due splits within the main rebel group Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD), but had gone to Kisangani to "quell tensions" there. He had held talks with Bemba, who leads the Mouvement de liberation congolais (MLC) which, he hoped, would lead to a "real rapprochement".
