Minister says “no occupation” next century

    NAIROBI

    Foreign Minister Yerodia Abdoulaye Ndombasi has stressed his country will not tolerate any “occupation” in the next century, state television reported. Addressing reporters in Kinshasa, he said: “We will not enter the 21st century as an occupied and humiliated country”. “We have waited for too long. Those whose duty it is to help achieve peace must hear this, and they should hurry up so that Rwandans, Ugandans and Burundians...get away from the DRC,” Yerodia added.
