G-77 urged to apply pressure on "aggressors"

    NAIROBI

    Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Yerodia on Friday appealed to leaders of developing nations attending the Group of 77 summit to pressure DRC's three "aggressor countries" - as Kinshasa has previously termed Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi - to withdraw their forces from his country, news agencies reported. While not citing the countries by name, Yerodia criticised three members of the Group of 77 for ignoring their involvement in the DRC conflict during the summit in the Cuban capital Havana. "They
    haven't even said they are at war," the Associated Press (AP) quoted Yerodia as saying. "They are part of the G-77. Do something to make these people go home," he stated.
