Wamba also said his group was abiding by the ceasefire under the terms of the Lusaka agreement. “We are still respecting the accord,” he told IRIN. “But if attacked, we have the right to repulse it.” On the implementation of the Lusaka agreement, Wamba said it was important for the Joint Military Commission (JMC) to receive more resources so it could monitor alleged ceasefire violations in the country. “The posture of the international community should be to support those who support peace, and to make it impossible for others to destroy it,” he said. “Kabila has no interest in making it succeed because he knows democratisation would not be in his favour. But he should not be given the chance to make the accord useless, because nobody will gain by the resumption of war,” Wamba told IRIN.
