Kindu to complete first batch of UN liaison deployments

    NAIROBI

    MONUC has confirmed, meanwhile, that its military liaison officer (MLO) teams are now installed in Goma, Kananga and Gbadolite, as well as in Kinshasa. Following consultations with the rebel Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD), another team - originally destined for Kisangani - will now be based in Kindu, where the RCD considered it would be better
    positioned to perform its tasks, MONUC spokesman Major David Hannah told IRIN. The dispatch of the first MLO teams was delayed by changes in the political and military situations, problems in relation to personnel arrival dates, climatic conditions and aircraft availability, and these would probably delay future deployments as well, despite "best efforts
    being made to keep to the proposed schedule", Hannah said.
