The Banyamulenge NGO, Groupe Milima, said it had not been invited to the Nairobi conference which it classed as a "waste of time". The NGO told IRIN on Friday the national debate "was making the same mistakes" as the national sovereign conference of 1992 which denied Zairean nationality to the Banyamulenge. It said the issue of nationality of Congolese Tutsis had to be addressed, and this was not on the agenda of the debate.
