JMC meeting set for next week in Kampala

A meeting of the Joint Military Commission (JMC), which oversees implementation of the Lusaka accord, is scheduled to take place in Kampala next week. “A meeting of the JMC is scheduled for Wednesday and we have a lot of work pending,” Amama Mbabazi, Uganda’s Minister of state for Foreign Affairs in charge of regional cooperation and chairman of the JMC’s political committee, told IRIN on Wednesday. He said the work included reaching agreement on the rules of procedure. There have so far been three plenary sessions of the JMC, with the last one held in Harare, Zimbabwe from 29 November to 6 December.
