RCD reshuffles departments

    NAIROBI
    The rebel Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD-Goma) has reshuffled its administration, reducing the number of departments from 24 to 16. According to a list received by IRIN on Friday, the men at the top stay the same with Dr Emile Ilunga as president, Commander Jean-Pierre Ondekane as first vice-president and Maitre Moise Nyarugabo as second vice-president. A press statement issued by the RCD said the changes were made after a meeting of the political bureau on Tuesday. The reshuffle was necessary for reasons of “efficacy”, the statement said. The new team had three main objectives: 1. better mobilisation to explain the RCD struggle to the people; 2. better use of human, material and financial resources to enhance the rebels’ Armee nationale congolaise (ANC); 3. to use diplomacy and the media to better inform Africa and the world about the RCD
