HARARE, Zimbabwe (CNN) -- After a meeting with Zimbabwe President
Robert Mugabe, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Richard Holbrooke said on
Monday that prospects for peace look good in Congo, where a five-month
peace accord is in tatters because of renewed fighting.

"We are pleased. We spoke partly grand strategy and partly very specific
detail," Holbrooke said after a two-hour meeting.

Holbrooke said he didn't think "it would be
appropriate to go into operational detail" until
he met with other key players in the Congo
conflict.

About 11,000 Zimbabwe troops, along with
forces from Namibia and Angola, are stationed
in the huge central African nation to aid
President Laurent Kabila's battle against Rwandan- and Ugandan-backed
rebels trying to oust him.
