Mediator sought for DRC

    JOHANNESBURG

    Zambian President Frederick Chiluba has said efforts were still underway to identify a mediator in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) peace process, PANA reported on Thursday.

    It said he told a news conference that former South African president, Nelson Mandela, whose name was being mentioned for the job, had said he could not offer himself. Mandela has undertaken to help mediate the Burundi crisis. Under a July cease-fire agreement signed in Lusaka, an inter-Congolese dialogue should have begun in October, 45 days after all
    parties had signed the deal.
