WOW! I hope that it is true that the war is over. Then we start to resettle about 400,000 displaced Congolese. Also, the whole country and region can settle down and move forward.
The War is Over - DRC ministers
The conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo's east is over after the arrest of rebel leader Laurent Nkunda, two senior government ministers said on Saturday.
"The war is over, that is the message of President [Joseph] Kabila," said Agriculture Minister Norbert Basengezi Katitima, speaking after Tutsi rebel Nkunda's detention following a joint operation launched with Rwanda to root out Hutu rebels.
"For the first timce since 2003, a government convoy has arrived here without an UN escort," he said, speaking in Rutshuru, a strategic eastern town.
"Peace is here," added Defence Minister Charles Mwando Nsimba. "To win peace, it was necessary to follow the path of dialogue," he said, referring to the joint operation launched on Tuesday by Congolese and Rwandan troops.
