Kabila green light still awaited on troop deployment

    NAIROBI

    The UK’s representative to the UN, Sir Jeremy Greenstock, has said the UN is still awaiting President Laurent-Desire Kabila’s permission to deploy peacekeepers in the DRC. “But we still want to see action on the ground that bears out peace intentions,” he said, according to ‘The Namibian’ newspaper. “At the moment, there is no stable ceasefire on the ground.” He was addressing a news conference after talks with Namibian President Sam Nujoma.
