Rebels “prepare for federalism”

    NAIROBI

    The political bureau of the rebel Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD) is to put in place provincial structures “in preparation for a federal state in Congo”. RCD Second Vice-President Moise Nyarugabo told RNA consultations would be held in all the communities to nominate candidates. “North and South Kivu will serve as blueprints so that we can eliminate possible mistakes before proceeding with the other liberated provinces,” he said. The operation will be coordinated by RCD territorial administration chief Joseph Mudumbi and will consist of electing provincial representatives “by tribe”.
