US funding for JMC

    NAIROBI

    The United States intends to provide US $1 million to support the operations of the Joint Military Commission (JMC) charged with overseeing implementation of the Lusaka accord, the State Department said on Monday. In a statement, it said the contribution was subject to “congressional consultations and availability of appropriated funds”. The US welcomed the successful outcome of the first JMC meeting held in Uganda on 11-12 October. “In two days of discussions, participants put aside quarrels and differences and reached significant agreements that will greatly increase the chances of regional peace,” the statement said.
