DRC wants to finish talks with M23 rebels

Al Jazeera  

President Joseph Kabila and Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni agree Kampala dialogue should conclude, but give no hint of deal. The Democratic Republic of Congo president wants to urgently end talks with rebels in the country’s east, Ugandan and Congolese statements have said, despite no deal being reached. DRC President Joseph Kabila and Uganda’s Yoweri Museveni met on Monday in Uganda’s capital to discuss the deal, but there was no sign of a breakthrough on the wording of the accord that scuppered a signing last month over the DRC’s M23 rebels. After the November 11 signing ceremony in Uganda fell through, the DRC said Uganda, which was mediating the talks, had favoured the rebels.
