South African minister in peace bid

    NAIROBI

    South Africa is launching a fresh attempt to bring about a ceasefire in DRC, news organisations reported. Foreign Minister Nkosazana Zuma travelled to Uganda and Rwanda on Tuesday, for talks with leaders of those countries aimed at persuading Congolese rebels to sign the Lusaka ceasefire accord. She met Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, before moving onto Rwanda where she had consultations on Wednesday with rebels of
    the Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD).
    A senior RCD official Bizima Karaha described the meeting as "very useful". Uganda and Rwanda are the main backers of the rebel factions.
