Kinshasa calls for testimony to ceasefire violations

    NAIROBI
    Meanwhile, the Forces armees congolaises (FAC) on Thursday claimed it had experienced continued attacks "on all FAC positions", and again alleged that Angolan UNITA rebels had been involved. The government army condemned "the attack and occupation of Basankusu", Equateur Province, on Tuesday as well as rebel action at Kimpangu in Bas-Congo Province from Sunday to Tuesday, according to Radio-Television Nationale Congolaise (RTNC) on Thursday. The FAC was "abiding by the Lusaka accords" and denounced repeated ceasefire violations on the rebel side, the statement said, before calling on OAU and military observers in the DRC to "bear testimony to them."
