It is time to arrest the rebel leaders in eastern Congo. I hope this brings peace.
Great Lakes Leaders Hail Nkunda Arrest, Say Kony Next Target
Leaders of countries in Africa's Great Lakes region have formally hailed the arrest of Congolese rebel leader Laurent Nkunda and indicated that Lord's Resistance Army chief Joseph Kony is the next target. A meeting of the international conference on the Great Lakes region is held on the eve of the African Union summit in Addis Ababa.
A statement issued after a brief mini-summit of 11 Great Lakes countries describes General Nkunda's arrest as a positive contribution to regional peace. It also noted with satisfaction the thawing of relations between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the exchange of ambassadors between Kigali and Kinshasa.
