KINSHASA (AFP) – Congolese rebels postponed Wednesday a meeting of their high command after an open challenge to Laurent Nkunda threatened to complicate the search for a solution to the conflict in the country's east.
A move to oust Nkunda was launched by chief of staff Bosco Ntaganda, but their relative positions remained unchanged ahead of an emergency meeting of the rebels' high command which was postponed till Thursday.
Ntaganda signed a statement on Monday that Nkunda had been dismissed as leader of the National Congress for the Defence of the People (CNDP) for "poor leadership" and "bad governance". The CNDP later denied that.
