Civil society meeting goes ahead

    NAIROBI

    Civil society groups have finally kicked off a delayed workshop on peace and reconciliation in the capital Kinshasa, news organisations reported. Some delegates, particularly those from rebel-held areas, had previously been prevented from attending the meetings by DRC security forces. The workshop, due to start Monday, began on Wednesday and was addressed by Justice Minister Mwenze Kongolo who said civil society groups should be encouraged to play a greater role in the peace process.
