MONUC row reportedly resolved

    NAIROBI

    The UN observer mission in DRC (MONUC) stated on Tuesday that it had resolved a row with the Kinshasa authorities and would now deploy simultaneously to rebel-held and government-controlled areas on Thursday. “I am pleased to announce that we have the full support of the government to start our work,” Reuters reported Major David Hannah as having said on Congolese state television. A new list of deployment locations included Goma, controlled by the Rwandan-backed rebel Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD), and Gbadolite, held by Jean-Pierre Bemba’s Ugandan-backed Mouvement de liberation congolais (MLC), the report added, while not detailing the sites to be visited in government-controlled areas.
