    NAIROBI

    Meanwhile, veteran opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi has expressed "total support" for the civil disobedience campaign in eastern DRC. In a statement issued on Tuesday in Johannesburg, the president of the Union pour la democratie et le progres social (UDPS), told the "people of eastern DRC" they should not be deterred from "aspiring to a just and long-lasting peace". "We strongly condemn the barbaric retaliations to
    which you have been subjected," the statement said. It called for the swift convocation of an inter-Congolese dialogue, mediated by Masire, as stipulated in the Lusaka accord.
