Wamba favours Saint Egidio as sole facilitator

    NAIROBI
    Meanwhile, Wamba's group on Thursday announced that it favoured the Rome-based Catholic Saint Egidio Community as "the sole neutral facilitator of the national dialogue" on the country's political future. However, other individuals could be included as "neutral observers of the peace process," the group said in a press statement received by IRIN. A single mediator would "avoid the confusion that may come about if there were two or more facilitators involved," it added. Father Matteo Zuppi of the Saint Egidio Community and Derlin Zinsou, former president of Benin who is another proposed facilitator, met with President Laurent-Desire Kabila in Kinshasa on Wednesday, news agencies said.
