Our understanding is that we are going to the boat to accept Mobutu's resignation, nothing less, nothing more. Wednesday will determine whether we make a soft landing in Kinshasa or a tough military entry. |
The end of the war will be on Sunday, when Mobutu decides to leave. |
These are not struggles to get power, these are not struggles to control the capital. These are struggles to bring fundamental changes in the Democratic Republic of Congo. |
We are happy that Mobutu has agreed to come and negotiate one and only one thing: his departure from power. |
We are not going there to discuss a cease-fire. We are going there to discuss the end of the war -- a complete end of the war -- and a complete end of the war can only come about when the man who brought the war is no longer there. |
We believe the solution to this problem is a political solution. |
Yesterday, our positions were heavily attacked by Angolan and Zimbabwean warplanes and the result was that hundreds of people were killed -- mainly men, women and children living in surrounding villages. |
