Support for Sirte accord reaffirmed

    NAIROBI
    Uganda and the DRC have reaffirmed their commitment to the Sirte accord, signed by their two leaders in Libya in April. A joint statement, issued in Kampala at the end of talks between Ugandan State Minister for Foreign Affairs Amama Mbabazi and DRC Justice Minister Mwenze Kongolo, also stressed their commitment to the ongoing Lusaka peace process, Ugandan radio reported. They agreed to set up a committee of experts to work out the practical implementation of the accord, with Uganda taking on the role of encouraging both the armed and unarmed opposition in DRC to take part in DRC government initiatives aimed at democratisation.
