Congo - Peace Talks Delayed - NYTimes.com Peace talks between rebels and the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo in Uganda were delayed Friday as negotiators failed to arrive on schedule, Congolese and rebel officials said. The talks are meant to be the first between the rebels, known as the March 23 Movement, and the government since the rebels voluntarily retreated from one of Congo's principal cities last week. Other diplomatic efforts are also under way to stem the recent fighting in eastern Congo. The president of the neighboring Congo Republic has met with Rwanda's president and delivered messages from him to Congo's president, Joseph Kabila, a Congolese government spokesman said. The spokesman also said that Mr. Kabila would attend a regional summit meeting this weekend in Tanzania to discuss the crisis in eastern Congo.
