DRC joint commission agreed

    JOHANNESBURG

    Zimbabwe is reported to have dropped its objections to a proposed joint military commission to which all the belligerents in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) conflict are supposed to contribute three commanders each after the signing of a much hoped for ceasefire agreement.

    The commission would be charged with the responsibility of tracking, disarming, containing and documenting armed groups in the war-torn country. Harare had objected to the setting up of the commission on grounds that this should be the function of the UN.
