Traditional leaders to mediate in east

Emile Ilunga’s Goma faction of the Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD) has set traditional leaders in South Kivu province the task of facilitating dialogue between the RCD and “armed groups” in the area, Uvira radio reported on Friday. The announcement was made at a traditional leaders’ conference in Bukavu earlier this month, which was chaired by the leader of the Bafulero community, Ntare Simba, and attended by the RCD’s territorial administration chief Joseph Mudumbi.
