Libyan leader Col. Moammar Kadhafi Sunday had a telephone
phone conversation with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan
over ways to equip the envisaged neutral African
peace-keeping force to be deployed in the Democratic
Republic of Congo.
The deployment of the force was called for in the final declaration of the
recent two-day mini-African summit, which ended in Tripoli Wednesday, after
examining the situation in the DRC.
Annan reiterated the UN's total support for the resolutions adopted by the
Tripoli summit to restore peace in the DRC and in the Great Lakes region. He
also commended Kadhafi for the efforts he was making towards the restoration
of peace in the Great Lakes region.
An African summit in Tripoli, organised by "Mathaba" International, an NGO
for the defence of peace, justice, freedom and progress, had called for the
immediate deployment of a neutral African force in the DRC to help restore
peace in that part of the continent.
The force, whose composition or number have not yet been specified, will
also be required to guarantee the security along DRC's borders with Rwanda
and Uganda and to disarm the armed rebel groups hostile to the neighbouring
countries from the DRC.
