Meeting may continue until Friday

Meanwhile, an official at the DRC embassy in Nairobi said the national consultation may continue until Friday. The meeting, which started last week, held a plenary session at the weekend in which participants - including traditional rulers in the Congolese diaspora and human rights organisations - reiterated that foreign troops should withdraw from the country. DRC state television quoted participants as saying there should be good governance to improve the social conditions of the Congolese people.
