Nairobi/Goma - Rebel leader Laurent Nkunda threatened to overthrow the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo, should he be excluded from negotiations to achieve a peaceful solution in the eastern part of the African state.
Warning President Joseph Kabila not to ditch talks, the Rwandan-backed rebel general told BBC radio: "If he refuses to talk now he will not be able to rule Congo and to lead it."
Kabila so far rejected direct talks with General Nkunda, saying they would be unconstitutional.
