Kabila, rebels, Museveni meet separately with Gaddafi

Libya was the focus of negotiations on DRC over the Christmas period, with separate visits by DRC President Laurent-Desire Kabila, rebel Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD) leader Ernest Wamba dia Wamba and Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni. Kabila and Wamba dia Wamba on Saturday held separate talks with Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi but did not meet face-to-face. Museveni flew into Tripoli yesterday to discuss the DRC crisis, the Libyan news agency JANA reported. Ahead of his visit to Libya, Kabila had gone to the Kamina military base in Katanga province to acquaint himself with the situation in the field. State television on Thursday described the trip as a “working and morale-boosting visit”.
