Uganda mediating in RCD-ML leadership wrangles

    NAIROBI

    Uganda has sent senior officials to Bunia in northeastern Congo to mediate
    in leadership wrangles within the rebel RCD-ML, led by Ernest Wamba dia
    Wamba. "Our allies sent the national political commissar, James
    Wapakhabulo, to talk to us...to help us solve problems within the top
    leadership," Wamba told IRIN on Tuesday. On Tuesday, the semi-official
    'New Vision' daily reported that Wapakhabulo emphasised Uganda was not
    behind the RCD-ML leadership problems. Meanwhile, the RCD-ML is to discuss
    a merger with the other Ugandan-backed rebel Mouvement de liberation du
    Congo (MLC). "We are scheduled to hold preliminary talks on the 17 July,"
    Wamba said.
