A mini-summit has been planned for the belligerents in the DRC crisis, a diplomatic source told IRIN on Wednesday. “The tentative date for the meeting is 4 July and the tentative venue is Algiers,” he said. Apart from the belligerents and organisations involved in diplomatic efforts, South Africa, Mali, Mozambique, Nigeria and Zambia had also been invited. “It is still early to know who has responded positively to the invitation,” the source said. The facilitator’s office confirmed receipt of the invitation saying, “we have been invited and we expect the facilitator to attend the meeting”. “We are aware that consultations are going on at a high level,” OAU officials in Addis Ababa added.
