Bemba trying to resolve RCD leadership wrangles

    NAIROBI
    MLC leader Jean-Pierre Bemba expressed dismay over the ongoing wrangles between RCD faction leaders Ernest Wamba dia Wamba and Emile Ilunga, saying they were "hampering" the struggle against the "common enemy". "Both leaders are power hungry," he told IRIN. "They want to become president but my fear is that they may not then be different from Kabila." Bemba added that both men were his "good friends", and he was trying to bring them together to resolve their differences. So far "they have refused", he said. "Each party blames the other for their different approach to solving the crisis."
