    NAIROBI
    The Congolese rebel groups were prepared to sign up to a ceasefire on Tuesday, an informed source told IRIN. If an agreement can be pushed through, to come into effect on 3 July, the signatories would be the DRC, Angola, Namibia, Rwanda, Uganda, Zimbabwe and the Congolese rebels - with just one representative signing for the three rebel groups: the two factions of the Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie (RCD), and the Mouvement de liberation congolais (MLC), according to the sixth revision of the draft agreement, seen by IRIN.
