"Problems" with the resolution, government says

    NAIROBI

    The DRC government on Friday said there were "problems" with the
    resolution and the proposed deployment. According to the DRC press attache at the Nairobi embassy, Mubima Maneniang Milang, the Security Council was not tackling the problem "at source". He said the first problem was that the US did not want to send its troops but had promised to give financial support. "Judging from the past, it will not honour its promise," he told
    IRIN. The second problem, he said, was that UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan was seeking an assurance of safety for the military observers. "What the Security Council should have done first was to tell the people who have invaded us to go ... The Security Council has done its job, but why are they doing it now? It has lasted two years, it is now useless," Milang added.
