CAMEROON, 30 November 2008: Congolese Tutsi rebel leader General Laurent Nkunda threatened war on Saturday unless Congo’s government entered a new round of talks with him.
Nkunda, whose forces have captured the North Kivu province in the east of DR Congo since launching a new offensive in August, has repeatedly demanded negotiations.
Nkunda said he had been told by the UN special envoy, former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, that Kinshasa had accepted the principle of talks.
Reuters news agency said “If there is no negotiation, let us say then there is war,” Nkunda told reporters after meeting Obasanjo in the rebel commander’s native village, Jomba.
