    NAIROBI

    The Congolese army, backed by Angolan troops, on Monday recaptured from Ninja rebels the town of Mindouli, a rail stop on the line from Brazzaville to the oil port of Pointe Noire, according to media reports. Army spokesman Colonel Jean-Robert Obargui was quoted as saying on Tuesday that the army, in trying to re-open the railway line which has been shut by rebel actions, would now turn its attention to the Bouenza region,
    former stronghold of ousted president Pascal Lissouba.
