| Agathon Rwasa demands $12 million to stop killing people - Tanzania admits bankrolling the FNL | | 2007-01-30 17:28:00 | | From the East AfricanThe growing restlessness of the rebel leaders drove the countries involved in the regional initiative to arrange a meeting in Dar-es-Salaam last week in which the FNL leaders were persuaded to fulfil their obligations under the ceasefire agreement and return to Bujumbura.
