    NAIROBI

    The UN Security Council on Thursday welcomed the peace agreement signed in the Libyan town of Sirte on Sunday by some of the parties involved in the conflict in the DRC.

    Council president Alain Dejammet said in a statement that council members welcomed, in particular, the fact that the signatories had decided on an "immediate cessation of hostilities".

    The Council also reiterated its support for Mustafa Niasse - the
    Secretary-General's special envoy to DRC - in his efforts to strengthen the peace process "with all concerned leaders of the OAU, in particular President Frederick Chiluba of Zambia".
