Clinton expresses support for peacekeeping

    NAIROBI
    U.S. President Bill Clinton yesterday (Wednesday) promised support for peacekeeping in Africa in general and efforts to resolve the conflict in DRC in particular. Speaking at a joint press conference in Washington with Ghanaian head of state Jerry Rawlings, Clinton said if a peace pact consistent with international rules and the long-term stability and welfare of Congo and its neighbours were signed, he “would certainly do (his) best to support any necessary force to maintain the peace for a period of transition, including logistical and other support.”
