Kampala is to mediate in talks to reconcile the two DRC rebel groups the Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD) and the Mouvement de liberation congolais (MLC), the semi-official ‘New Vision’ reported yesterday. It quoted a Ugandan security officer as saying: “There was a serious misunderstanding between the two. We are trying to make sure they work together, otherwise if they don’t, the situation in Congo will remain volatile.” The RCD is the main rebel group fighting in the DRC while the MLC led by Jean-Pierre Bemba operates largely in Equateur province.
