UN envoy seeks funding for peace process

    NAIROBI

    The UN Special Envoy for the DRC Peace Process, Moustapha Niasse, arrived in New York on Thursday for a week of consultations with senior UN officials and representatives of donor countries, UN spokesman Fred Eckhard said. "This comes as part of his advocacy efforts to enhance their awareness on the funding needs of the various aspects of the restoration
    of peace," Eckhard said. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan appointed Niasse - a former Senegalese foreign minister - in April to, among other things, assess progress made in the Lusaka peace process and determine what support countries outside Africa are prepared to extend towards a settlement.
