They have stopped firing. They have kept themselves on a standstill position. But this will last if Kabila can do the same. The very day our troops will be attacked, if this attack is originating from Mbuji Mayi, then Mbuji-Mai is attacked. Rwanda is backing the Goma-based rebellion.
Officials here say there is still time to make the cease-fire work.
Rwanda's Director of Information, Wilson Rutayisire, says that on paper, the plan is a good one that could meet Rwanda's security concerns. It is really defeatist to say that it is not going to be possible when it hasn't started. Despite charges that President Kabila has already broken the cease-fire, Mr. Rutayisire says it is important to press ahead with the accord, at least putting into place a joint military commission for Congo. We should start. Mr. Rutayisire says national dialogue in Congo will be easy if enough people are serious about ending the war there.
