Envoys Want Rwandan Rebels Disarmed, Zuma Issues SADC Warning

United Nations, European Union and American envoys to the Great Lakes region have called for military action to force Rwandan rebels based in the Democratic Republic of Congo to surrender and disarm. Kinshasa says it is ready to act, but Rwanda does not believe that the UN intervention force, particularly its South African and Tanzanian components, will do so. In a brief statement, South Africa's President Jacob Zuma pressed the FDLR and other "negative forces" in DRC to comply with the disarmament directive issued by southern and eastern African leaders.
