Zambian President to kick start Congo peace process

    NAIROBI

    Zambian President Fredrick Chiluba on Thursday told Reuters that he was working around the clock to try to kick-start the DRC peace process in Congo. “The priority is to try and get the peace process back on track. And this involves talking to the government of President Laurent Kabila, to the United Nations, and to the rebels, as well as Rwanda and Uganda,” he said.

    Chiluba mediated last year’s Lusaka peace agreement to end fighting in the DRC war. African leaders have attempted on numerous occasions to revive the process, which involves the inter-Congolese party dialogue and deployment of United Nations troops, without success.
