Zaire factions begin face to face talks in Pretoria
In Pretoria negotiators for Zaires warring factions opened their first direct talks while clashing over terms like peace and freedom. Rebels demand unrestricted freedom and reject negotiation, even as government negotiators maintain a hard line. The talks follow a prior failed meeting in Togo and coincide with UNHCR airlift plans for refugees, amid Kinshasa political turmoil where Tshisekedi declared parliament unconstitutional and sought to form a new government with Mobutu approval.
