Military and security officials began talks in Lusaka today on securing a DRC ceasefire, Reuters reported. But the RCD dismissed the meetings as meaningless without their participation. Two committees have been established to hash out a ceasefire and an agreement on border security issues. The first committee comprises Zambia, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, DRC, OAU and officials of SADC and the UN. The second team includes officials from Zambia, Kenya, Mauritius, Botswana, OAU, SADC and UN. “The idea is for the two teams to work in parallel lines and deal with the two issues separately,” Reuters quoted a Zambian official as saying.
