Rebels, DRC sign peace deal

Goma - Militia leaders signed a peace accord with the Democratic Republic of Congo's government on Wednesday that aims to end years of fighting in the country's restive east.

A representative for Laurent Nkunda, the main insurgent leader, was the first to sign the document in a ceremony attended by President Joseph Kabila and witnessed by reporters.

Nkunda's representative was followed by delegates for other armed groups, including Mai Mai fighters who had argued for changes in a draft proposal.

Latest comment in Africa

Fidel says... Zimbabweans are pretty much getting on with their lives with or without the support of the EU. There is nothing that the EU can do, the Zimbabwean land has been transferred permanently to Zimbabweans. Yet in the past 18 months, there has been a tentative recovery, particularly in tobacco, as black farmers have begun to grow a cash crop that was once the preserve of white commercial farmers. Tobacco production collapsed to a low of 48.8m kg in 2008, down from almost five times that in 2000. At the start of 2009 it began to recover and production more than doubled to 123m kg in 2010. This year, it is forecast to be about 131m kg. http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/8dbf7bb6-cdad-11e0-bb4f-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1aZVbdUFv Read the article...
