UN envoy meets Kabila

    NAIROBI

    The UN Special Envoy for the DRC Peace Process, Moustapha Niasse, has held talks with President Kabila in Kinshasa. Sources in Kinshasa told IRIN the DRC president said he was afraid that if a plane of the UN observer mission, MONUC, left for rebel-held areas it would return to Kinshasa as a “trojan horse”. Kabila said a third country would therefore have to be involved. He again refused to allow MONUC personnel to be deployed in government-held areas. Further meetings between the two men were planned for late Tuesday.
