A child sells avocados at the main market in the eastern Congolese city
of Bukavu, September 30, 2002. Rwandan troops are due to begin
pulling-out 15,000 troops from positions around Bukavu on Tuesday,
starting the final phase of their operation to withdraw from Congo
under a peace plan to end a catastrophic four-years of war. Rwanda,
which invaded Congo in 1998 to hunt down militias responsible for its
1994 genocide, says it had 23, 400 troops in Congo before it began its
withdrawal on September 17. REUTERS/Antony Njuguna
