Interior Minister Gaetan Kakudji announced that the inter-Congolese dialogue facilitator’s office was reopened on Friday, although the government still rejected former Botswanan president Ketumile Masire as the facilitator. “The government of public salvation wishes to reassure the public and the international community that it is not opposed to the organisation of the inter-Congolese dialogue, but that it refuses to have Ketumile Masire as the facilitator because of his partiality,” he said, in comments broadcast by DRC state television. He called on the OAU to name another facilitator.
