Kagame in talks with Mbeki

    NAIROBI

    Meanwhile, Kagame flew to South Africa to meet President Thabo Mbeki in Pretoria on Saturday. Presidential spokeswoman Tasneem Carrim said the meeting lasted for about one hour, but was “a confidential discussion” on which she could not release any details, the South African news agency SAPA reported. However, it quoted government sources as saying that Mbeki had initiated the talks to seek a commitment from Kagame that the DRC would not be alone if it agreed to adhere to the Lusaka peace accord. Mbeki was also scheduled to meet Kabila within the next fortnight, at the DRC president’s request, the report added.
