Mugabe says Rwanda blocking peace efforts

    NAIROBI

    President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe said on Monday that Rwanda’s unilateral ceasefire declaration was “false and deceptive”, and that Kigali remained the main stumbling block to peace. Speaking after a meeting in Harare of Kabila’s allies - attended by Angolan President Jose Eduardo dos Santos, Namibian President Sam Nujoma and, in Kabila’s place, the foreign affairs and justice ministers of the DRC, Yerodia Ndombasi and Mwenze Kongolo - Mugabe said Uganda had been making efforts towards peace since the Sirte accord in Libya “but the same could not be said of Rwanda”.
