Wamba reportedly ousted as RCD leader

    NAIROBI

    According to Rwandan radio, the RCD on Monday dissolved its leadership, ousting Ernest Wamba dia Wamba as the chairman. The new leaders would be announced soon, it added. Wamba has been at odds with Goma-based members of the RCD and last month he left the rebel stronghold to be based in Kisangani. Wamba, who was in Goma over the weekend to attend the four-party meeting, had earlier addressed problems of divisions within the RCD, noting there were "differences of background, differences of objectives", Rwandan radio said.
