The Angolan Presidency announced in a statement today, Wednesday, that the direct peace talks between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the March 23 rebels will begin in the Angolan capital, Landa next Tuesday.
Angola seeks to mediate a permanent ceasefire and calm the tension between the neighboring Congo and Rwanda accused of supporting the rebel group led by the Tutsi ethnic. Rwanda denies these accusations.
Angola announced on Tuesday that it would try to mediate in direct talks.
The Congo government has rejected talks with the 23rd rebel movement and said on Tuesday that it had learned of the Angolan initiative.
No comment has yet been issued by Kinshasa today.
