The Democratic Republic of Congo government reportedly engaged in secret talks with Thomas Lubanga, leader of the Convention for the Revolution People’s movement. These discussions, facilitated by Uganda in Kampala, occurred in April. Lubanga, a former convict of the International Criminal Court, currently resides in exile in the Ugandan capital. While initiated by Ugandan officials, the initial meeting did not lead to any publicly announced outcomes. Details of the negotiations emerged from reporting by Radio France Internationale (RFI). The purpose of the talks and potential future discussions remain unclear at this time. This development signals a potential, though currently stalled, attempt at dialogue with a key rebel figure.
