KINSHASA, Oct 15: The Congolese capital Brazaville was reported to have fallen to forces loyal to opposition militia leader Denis Sassou Nguesso late Tuesday in one of the fiercest battles of their fourmonth war. reports AFP.
Isidore Myouba. a spokesman for the United Democratic Front, a coalition that supports the former military strongman, said in Libere-ville that Sassou Nguesso's forces had taken the capital.
Independent sources contacted by telephone from Kinshasa. the capita) of the neighbouring Democrat ic Republic of Congo, said his troops had "probably" wrested the entire city from the militias of president Pascal Lissouba and Prime Minister Bernard Kolelas.
Myouba said "the last pocket of residual resistance fell around midday."
He said Sassou Nguesso's forces had "taken total control of Brazzaville, with the help of
some of Kolelas men who had switched sides, and many were now grouped on a bridge marking the southern edge of the capital.
They had been greeted as "liberators" in parts of the city formerly under the control of government forces, he added.
Myouba said dozens of enemy troops had been killed, but very few among Sassou Nguesso's militia because "our men were preceded by several tanks" without specifying their number or type.
A French diplomatic source in the city said he could not confirm or deny the claims, but added that the heavy shooting which had gone on all day had stopped late afternoon.
AP adds: Secretary-General Kofi Annan asked the Security Council to slap an arms embargo on the Republic of Congo and send a military team to the region as a first step toward a UN peacekeeping force to halt the fighting.
But council action on both the advance team and the peacekeeping force hinged on US approval? Council diplomats said the Americans were reluctant to commit to such a force, citing President Clinton's guidelines of 1994.
"I don't think we can do it without them." Annan said Tuesday, referring to the Americans.
All 15 council members have Insisted on an effective ceasefire between President Pascal Lissouba and Gen. Denis Sas sou-Nguesso before ending a peacekeeping force to stop fighting which has raged since June
But the crisis in the Republic of Congo, located across the Congo River from the larger Democratic Republic of Congo, once called Zaire took on new urgency after reports that Angola had Intervened in the fighting on behalf of Sassou-Nguesso.
