HC Deb 15 January 1997 vol 288 c302W
38. Mr. Spring

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is his assessment of the current situation in Zaire. [9270]

Dr. Liam Fox

We remain concerned by the uncertain situation in Zaire. Rebellion in eastern Zaire continues, with much of Kivu province under rebel control. We welcome President Mobutu's stated commitment to continuing the democratic process and will continue to support efforts to bring about a negotiated settlement to the conflict in Zaire.
