Hi All, Something else that might interest you all ,things could be settled in DRC sooner than we think, BBC news teletex reports that the rebels are willing to talk - Wednesday August 19, 10:00 am Eastern Time Angola confirms intervention planned in Congo LUANDA, Aug 19 (Reuters) - The Angolan government confirmed on Wednesday that the Southern African Development Community would offer military support to President Laurent Kabila of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. ''We have taken a collective decision that all kind of help should be given to President Kabila, including military support,'' Deputy Foreign Minister Jorge Chicote told Reuters. Chicote said no details of the intervention had been worked out, but that the move had been approved by defence ministers of the 14-nation SADC during talks in Harare this week. ''There is a war going on here and it has got to stop. The SADC defence ministers have decided to intervene and this has got to be done. ''I don't know what will be the Angolan participation. Angola is part of the region, part of this agreement. Angola will find the means to participate in this effort,'' he said. President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe announced the plan on Tuesday, but South Africa's President Nelson Mandela, who is chairman of SADC, told reporters in Pretoria on Wednesday there would be no military intervention. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Related News Categories: international -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright c 1998 Reuters Limited.
