AFRICAN CONGO SUMMIT POSTPONED

SOUTH African President Thabo Mbeki says an African summit to try to end war in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been postponed so more leaders could attend. Mbeki said the talks in the Mozambican capital Maputo would be held as soon as the presidents agreed on a date that suited them all. He said the talks would seek to address the question of all foreign troops withdrawing from the former Zaire to allow a United Nations peacekeeping force to deploy in Africa’s third largest country. – Reuters
