DRC asks for help in restoring law and order

    ABIDJAN

    The government of the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has been battling rebels since last August, has asked Nigeria to send a contingent of security forces to help restore law and order in the Central African nation.

    The request was presented in Abuja last week to the Nigerian police authorities by a visiting Congolese delegation headed by Foreign Minister David Mbwankiem, according to a report by Nigerian TV.
