Chiluba "to work with" Gaddafi

Zambian President Frederick Chiluba on Tuesday held talks in Libya with Colonel Muammar Gaddafi on the DRC crisis. The two leaders are spearheading peace initiatives. Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and President Laurent-Desire Kabila of the DRC recently signed a peace accord in Libya which Rwanda refused to acknowledge, stating that Chiluba's initiative was the only one it recognised. However, Libyan television on Tuesday quoted Chiluba as saying he would work with Gaddafi "to implement the [Sirte] agreement".
