Holbrooke's main aim to find dialogue facilitator

    NAIROBI

    US Ambassador to the UN Richard Holbrooke said on Wednesday the key aim of his current mission in Africa was to find a facilitator for the inter-Congolese dialogue scheduled to take place under the Lusaka ceasefire agreement. "The main point is that we are trying to find a facilitator," Holbrooke told reporters in Lusaka after meeting Zambian President Frederick Chiluba. "The choice of a facilitator is still elusive," Chiluba told a news conference after meeting Holbrooke, adding
    that Organisation of African Unity (OAU) leaders would meet in Addis Ababa next week to discuss some potential facilitators from an undisclosed list.
