EU "deeply concerned" at peace

    NAIROBI
    The European Union (EU) on Wednesday expressed its deep concern at the delay in the implementation of the DRC peace process, as well as "continued military activities and hostile propaganda", and urged all parties to the conflict to fully abide by both the contents and timetable of the Lusaka agreement. "The essential requirements for the implementation of the agreement have not been fulfilled," the statement said, citing as examples the selection of a facilitator for the national dialogue and the appointment of representatives for the Joint Military Commission, a press release from the Finnish presidency of the EU stated. Nonetheless, the EU continued to be willing to support DRC peace efforts, it added.
