Wamba wants Ugandans to stay

    NAIROBI

    The leader of the Bunia-based Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie-Mouvement de liberation (RCD-ML), Professor Ernest Wamba dia Wamba, has said Ugandan troops should stay in DRC “as long as peace eludes the country”. Wamba commended UN efforts to end the war but stressed that the final solution lay with the Congolese themselves, Ugandan radio reported. He said some people wanted peace negotiations “while others prefer a military solution to the problem”. Ugandan army spokesman Captain Shaban Bantariza told IRIN that if Wamba wanted the troops to stay, “we cannot contest it”.
