Rescue bid for DR Congo peace
The deaths of two peacekeepers in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo in an ambush has raised fresh fears about the country's fragile peace process.

The European Union has expressed deep concern at deteriorating security in the east of the country.

Belgian Foreign Minister Louis Michel is travelling to Rwanda and Uganda on Monday in attempts to diffuse tensions.

The complete pull-out of renegade troops that occupied Bukavu last week has still to be confirmed by the UN.

Dissident leader Brig Gen Laurent Nkunda says all of his troops have withdrawn from the town.

UN peacekeepers say some rebels remain but it is not clear whether they are part of Gen Nkunda's group or his Bukavu-based ally, Col Jules Mutebusi.
