DRC envoy meets Muluzi

    JOHANNESBURG

    A special envoy of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) President Laurent Kabila on Thursday briefed Malawi’s President Bakili Muluzi on the ongoing efforts to end his country’s two-year-old civil war, news reports said.
    Augustine Katumba, governor of DRC’s Katanga province, told reporters after meeting with Muluzi that Kabila had sent him to brief regional leaders about efforts to bring peace to the war-torn country. “I brought a special message from Kabila to Muluzi,” he said, without elaborating.

    Katumba described the talks as “positive”. The envoy met with Muluzi - who is also the vice-chairman of the 14-member Southern African Development Community - shortly before the Malawian leader left for New York to attend the United Nations Millennium summit.
