NEW Congolese President Joseph Kabila has met President Paul Kagame of Rwanda for talks in the United States, raising hopes of a revival of a 1999 deal to end the Democratic Republic of Congo’s 30-month war. The two men, whose countries are the key adversaries in fighting which has raged on despite the July 1999 Lusaka deal, were introduced at an annual ”national prayer breakfast” and met in the afternoon at a hotel, the official said. – Reuters
