Article Abstract:

The governments involved in a conflict in Congo have met at Addis Ababa, but have failed to reach an agreement on how to end the conflict which is costing scarce resources as well as lives.

Rwanda denies having troops in Congo, and Rwanda and Uganda argue that Congolese president, Laurent Kabila, should talk directly with the rebels.
