    NAIROBI

    Regional defence and foreign ministers meeting in Lusaka on Saturday unanimously accepted a ceasefire accord drafted by the OAU, the South African news agency SAPA reported. An official communiqué said the ministers had agreed to set up two committees to work on the proposed ceasefire and security concerns of the DRC and its neighbours. The committees are to submit their reports to the next ministerial meeting to be convened “as soon as possible”, AFP quoted the communiqué as saying. No date was set for the ministerial meeting or for the postponed regional summit.
