Goma delegation promises Gisenyi security cooperation

    NAIROBI

    A delegation from the RCD rebel-held Goma area of eastern DRC has assured residents of Gisenyi prefecture in northwestern Rwanda of the RCD’s full cooperation in curbing the activities of Interahamwe and ex-FAR (Forces Armees Rwandaises) militias operating in the DRC, Rwanda News Agency reported on Sunday. Gisenyi suffered a number of Interahamwe throughout December after enjoying relative security earlier in 1999, humanitarian agencies recently reported. The Goma delegation was in Gisenyi at the weekend at the invitation of the Diocese of Nyundo and the Prefecture of Gisenyi to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Bishopric of Monsignor Faustin Ngabu of the Catholic diocese of Goma.
