Security Council calls for constructive talks and ceasefire agreement

    NAIROBI
    The UN Security Council on Thursday called on all parties to the conflict to participate in the Lusaka talks “with a constructive and flexible spirit”, and to sign a ceasefire agreement, together with the modalities for its implementation. In a presidential statement received by IRIN, it stressed the need for national reconciliation and democracy in the countries of the region, and emphasised the need for an international conference on security, stability and development in the Great Lakes.
