卢旺达等五国国防部长在 Lusaka 开会 商讨大湖地区武装团体解除武装与区域安全合作
基加利——据卢旺达媒体报道，卢旺达、刚果（金）、布隆迪、乌干达、坦桑尼亚五国国防部长 10 月 18 日在赞比亚首都 Lusaka 举行会议，商讨加强区域合作、应对大湖地区不安全局势的办法。
这一会议由联合国秘书长大湖地区问题特使黄晓在向联合国安理会通报地区安全局势时宣布，会议与大湖地区问题国际会议（ICGLR）协作举办。据报道，五国防长将审议一套统一准则草案，用于解除外国武装团体的武装，并支持其前成员重返平民生活；涉及的武装团体包括「解放卢旺达民主力量」（FDLR）、「民主同盟军」（ADF）和 RED-Tabara 等。
报道指出，大湖地区部分地区冲突持续、邻国之间紧张与互不信任仍然存在，这套准则能否形成共识并得到执行，将决定会议的实际成效。黄晓在通报中还提到，推动该地区自然资源的透明与负责任管理也是正在进行的努力之一。
Rwanda and Four Other Great Lakes Countries Meet in Lusaka on Armed Groups
KIGALI — Defence ministers from five Great Lakes countries — Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burundi, Uganda and Tanzania — met in Lusaka, Zambia, on October 18 to discuss ways to strengthen regional cooperation against insecurity, Rwandan media reported.
The meeting was announced by Huang Xia, the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy for the Great Lakes region, while briefing the UN Security Council, and was organised in collaboration with the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR). The ministers were expected to consider a draft set of harmonised guidelines for disarming foreign armed groups and supporting the reintegration of their former members into civilian life, covering groups including the FDLR, the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) and RED-Tabara.
Fighting continues to undermine security in parts of the region and tensions persist between some neighbouring countries, so the meeting's impact will depend on whether the countries agree on the guidelines and how effectively they implement them. Huang also highlighted ongoing efforts to promote transparent and responsible management of the region's natural resources.
