    Mbusa Nyamwisi, chairman of the Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD) assembly loyal to ousted leader, Ernest Wamba dia Wamba, said on Thursday in Kampala that the "coup plotters" in the RCD were opposed to a united front against Kabila. They are "opposed to the bringing together of all armed and non-armed groups in [the Democratic Republic of] Congo," he said, according to the semi-official Ugandan 'New Vision'.

    Nyamwisi and other Wamba loyalists who arrived in Kampala on Wednesday after fleeing Goma planned to make their way to Kisangani via Entebbe after Nyamwisi met Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni on Friday.
