    Both the Goma and Bunia-based rebel groups have congratulated
    Major-General Paul Kagame for assuming the Rwandan presidency, Rwandan radio reported. RCD-Goma leader Emile Ilunga said the election of Kagame "constitutes a reliable guarantee for peace and development in the Rwandan nation, and also for the security and stability of the Great Lakes subregion." Professor Ernest Wamba dia Wamba of the RCD- ML in Bunia said Kagame's appointment was a key factor for the return of regional peace.
