Nairobi talks postponed until June

    NAIROBI
    Kenya has formally announced the postponement of DRC peace talks, Kenyan television reported. A statement from the foreign ministry said the talks, slated to start 15 May, will now be held in early June "to allow for consultations with participants". This will also give extra time to work out "a more comprehensive logistical support base", the statement added. The talks have been beset with problems, with leading members of civil society as well as the rebels refusing to attend.
