A rebel soldier stands guard in front of a crowd which had gathered to see former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo meet rebel leader Laurent Nkunda in the village of Jnomba in eastern Congo, November 16, 2008. Obasanjo, a UN special envoy, met Nkunda to try to avert a wider regional war and end a humanitarian crisis. Battles between Nkunda's fighters and the army have uprooted some 250,000 people in Congo's North Kivu province, and Obasanjo is tasked by the United Nations with stopping a repeat of a 1998-2003 conflict that sucked in six African nations.
