Interior minister discusses border security with Bangui

Interior Minister Gaetan Kakudji met the Central African Republic’s ambassador to the DRC, Bernard Sissale, on Monday to discuss “issues related to security at their common border and the movement of people and goods across their border,” DRC state television reported on Tuesday. “I came to discuss with the minister of state in charge of the interior issues related to the movement of people and goods between our two countries,” the report quoted Sissale as saying. The Forces Armees Congolaises (FAC) had on Monday claimed the rebel Mouvement de liberation du Congo (MLC) of Jean-Pierre Bemba was undertaking “massive military recruitment” in CAR, especially around Wango, and infiltrating DRC from the neighboring country.
