    The national debate planned by the DRC government in Nairobi next month will take place "with or without" representatives of rebel factions, an official at the DRC embassy in Nairobi told IRIN on Wednesday. He said the intention was to seek a solution "which can satisfy the Congolese".

    The meeting, due to be held from 8-15 May, is intended to bring together the government, opposition parties, rebels, civil society and observers. [For full story, see separate IRIN item entitled "National debate on "with or
