The presidents of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo were to meet this Sunday in Angola for a fresh round of talks aimed at ending the conflict in the DRC's troubled east. But the talks almost immediately hit a 'deadlock', according to the representative of the DRC.

Talks due Sunday between the leaders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo to end conflict in the eastern DRC were called off, the Angolan presidency said.
