“Progress” at Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania talks

    NAIROBI
    The leaders of Rwanda, Uganda and Tanzania met in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday to discuss the DRC conflict. Rwandan radio described the mini-summit as a follow-up to a recent meeting between the three countries in Dodoma, Tanzania. Rwandan Minister in the President’s Office Patrick Mazimhaka said they discussed the crisis within the rebel Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD), but stressed the leaders felt progress had been made to try and resolve the DRC conflict. Sources close to the talks suggested to IRIN on Wednesday that Tanzania - which favoured neutrality in the DRC issue - has come out in support of ousted RCD leader Ernest Wamba dia Wamba, a close colleague of ex-Tanzanian president Julius Nyerere.
