| Notes | Presidential candidate decides to back Congo’s Kabila KINSHASA — One of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s presidential candidates, Antipas Mbusa Nyamwisi, has thrown his weight behind President Joseph Kabila. Mbusa, the regional co-operation minister, credited with less than 1% of voting intentions by a polling agency in Kinshasa, cannot officially withdraw from Sunday’s poll as his name is already printed on voting slips. “I support President Kabila ... to help him overcome the first round of the presidential poll,” Mbusa told thousands of his supporters at a rally in his stronghold of Beni, in the east of the country, according to Jean-Louis Ernest Kyaviro of the RCD-ML former rebel party. --------------------------------------- [ Businessday - 27 Jul 2006 - http://www.businessday.co.za/articles/specialreports.aspx?ID=BD4A240981 ] NAIROBI, 13 November (IRIN) - Political wrangling is still continuing in DRC's northeast Bunia area, with rebel leader Professor Ernest Wamba dia Wamba contending that his rival Mbusa Nyamwisi has failed to disband his militiamen who are still "roaming around". Wamba, who leads the Rassemblement congolais pour la democratie-Mouvement de liberation (RCD-ML), last weekend survived an attempt to topple him by his deputy Mbusa Nyamwisi which led to two days of bitter fighting between the rival factions. Nyamwisi's faction accused Wamba of "institutionalising ethnic hatred and refusing the collaborate with other liberation movements". During talks in Kampala last month, brokered by the Ugandan government, Wamba said there was an agreement that Nyamwisi's 'Usalama' militia would be disbanded and the RCD-ML troops would be organised under one battalion with one commander. ----------------------------------------- [ Nov 2000 - http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/news/2000/11/war-001113-afcod.htm ] |
