Kabila and Museveni sign "normalising accord"

    NAIROBI
    Presidents Laurent-Desire Kabila and Yoweri Museveni have signed a "normalising accord" at a mini-summit hosted by Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi in Tripoli, news organisations reported on Thursday. Eritrean and Sudanese Presidents Isayas Afewerki and Omar al-Bashir were also involved in the Tripoli meeting. Libyan television said "the summit was crowned by the signature of the four heads of state of accords allowing the end of differences, the normalisation of relations and the resumption of flights between Sudan, Eritrea and Uganda on the one hand, and between Uganda and the DRC on the other." Kabila and Museveni had agreed to "apply international accords to bring an end to civil war in the DRC," it added.
