Government and rebels to 'finalise' ceasefire in Nairobi meeting
Rwanda and the DR Congo's foreign ministers announced a joint military plan to fight Hutu rebels, while Tutsi rebels loyal to General Laurent Nkunda will meet government officials in Nairobi on Monday to "finalise" a ceasefire in North Kivu.
AFP - Congolese government representatives and rebels loyal to renegade general Laurent Nkunda will meet in Nairobi on Monday to "formalise" a ceasefire in the east of the country, Kinshasa said Friday.
"A meeting will take place between representatives of the government of DRCongo and the CNDP (National Congress for the Defence of the People) under the auspices of the United Nations and the mediator on December 8 in Nairobi in Kenya," Foreign Minister Alexis Thambe Mwamba said.
Speaking after talks with his Rwandan counterpart Rosemary Museminali, Mwamba said the aim was to "formalise the ceasefire" declared unilaterally by the rebels at the end of October but broken by both sides since.
Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo agreed on a plan for military operations against Rwandan Hutu rebels operating in eastern DR Congo.
"The two sides have drawn up a detailed plan of operations against ex-soldiers of the Rwandan armed forces, Interhamwe militia and Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda," a joint statement said.
Armed Hutus fled Rwanda for the easten DRCongo after a Tutsi rebellion took control in the wake of the 1994 genocide of Tutsis and moderate Hutus by Hutu extremists.
Kigali has demanded for years that Kinshasa disarm them, while the Congolese government claims that Rwanda supports renegade Tutsi general Laurent Nkunda whose forces have been fighting the government army in the eastern province of Nord-Kivu.

DRC government and CNDP to sign permanet ceasefire
Recent agreements between Rwanda and DRC as the planned meeting between DRC govt and CNDP are not new from the past agreements. UN influnced by the EU and US has failed the people both DRC,Rwanda and Africa in general. what has been agreed upon is nothing new. to begin, which countries will send its forces to fight the European and US interests in the DRC. DRC govt has no capacity to fight any war. FDLR which fights better that CNDP cannot be defeated. will DRC allow Rwandan troops to enter DRC to uproot FDLR? Kabila is a shame
Freedom for Congo
WHAT IS WORSE THAN RAPE?? BETRAYED
Now it is unveilled that the congolese people NOT ITS GOVERNMENT have to fight to regain our freedom and the land of our ancestors. Stand with us as we fight to regain our freedom by signing the petition below:
http://www.petition.fm/petitions/regain_our_freedom/
wasting of time
congolese government are dealing to help Rwanda and rebel tutsi to desarm hutu militia they have to thing very well. if the government are corrupt they will accept anything to protect their interest who's going to end soon.hutu and tutsi must go out of Dr Congo to finish their conflict without of congolese help, because they brought genocide in Dr Congo. what we need is to topple J. Kabila and to put him in trial because of massacre and genocide he did, Kabila's failed state is no longer willing or capable of protecting civilians. Tambwe muamba stop to be a responsable of killing hutu people in the name of congolese. you finish one day in c.p.i
