    NAIROBI

    Meanwhile, Uganda will contribute US $100,000 to a JMC fund set up by main mediator and Zambian President Frederick Chiluba, Museveni was quoted as saying in the statement. Zambia had already contributed US $100,000, it added. The statement quoted Uganda’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Amama Mbabazi as saying pledges had also come in from European Union countries, South Africa and the OAU. On Friday, the German press agency DPA quoted Chiluba as saying South Africa had contributed four helicopters and a “huge” amount of money, while other members of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) had made “tentative” contributions.
