    NAIROBI

    Meanwhile, an army statement broadcast by Congolese state television claimed the MLC was infiltrating from the Central African Republic, despite a defence accord between the two countries, news organisations reported. DRC had asked the authorities in Bangui to clarify a situation which could damage relations between the two countries, Reuters news agency reported on Monday. It also said “the international community must take note of the massive military recruitments of elements loyal to the MLC which is taking place in Central African Republic, more precisely in Wango,” Reuters news agency reported on Monday. Those sponsoring the recruitment and transportation of rebel recruits included former CAR president Andre Kolingba, Congolese television claimed on Monday.
