Kisangani group says Wamba to sign accord

    NAIROBI
    Jacques Depelchin, rapporteur for the RCD-Kisangani group, said Wamba dia Wamba was still the "legal" representative of the RCD and would be in Lusaka on Saturday to sign the ceasefire accord with the heads of state and the two other rebel factions. "That's what has been agreed to," he told IRIN on Friday. Meanwhile, Wamba told IRIN on Thursday that the Goma faction had been "doing everything to reach Kinshasa" and put in place a new regime through military means. "This would be a repetition of what happened with Kabila, but without popular backing," Wamba said.
