La Namibie se retire mais maintient des forces dans la capitale

L'ambassadeur namibien en poste en RDC, Eddy Amkongo, a confirmé dimanche que la Namibie avait retiré ses troupes de la RDC mais maintenait encore des forces dans la capitale de Kinshasa, a rapporté l'AP dimanche, ajoutant qu'il s'agissait du premier retrait, sur les cinq pays africains présents en RDC. Le Secrétaire général de l'ONU, Kofi Annan, en visite officielle en RDC, aurait lui-même eu la primeur d'annoncer officiellement le retrait de la Namibie, déclarant aux médias de Kinshasa ce dimanche que la "Namibie vient de retirer ses troupes, " d'après le bulletin de l'AP. La Namibie, allié du gouvernement congolais au cours des trois ans de guerre civile, avait le plus petit contingent militaire en RDC, soit environ 2 000 hommes, selon l'AP.
