Government still has “reservations”

    NAIROBI

    However, the DRC government still has “reservations” over the deployment of UN peacekeepers “within its territory”, the Nairobi embassy press attache Mubima Maneniang Milang told IRIN. “We think they should be deployed along the borders,” he said. “Why should they be in Kisangani which is far from Uganda and Rwanda?” He maintained the “aggressors” were responsible for the war and they “must go first”. “Congolese rebels do not have any arms,” he said. “They are naked physically and morally, these people cannot fight without the help from their allies.”
