The President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Laurent Kabila, has left Libya after a day of talks with the Libyan leader, Muammar Gadaffi.

The two men had discussed the conflict in Congo, and the reported agreement on a ceasefire at the Franco-African summit meeting in Paris.

The main rebel leader fighting President Kabila's forces in Congo, Wamba dia Wamba, told Reuters newsagency that he did not dismiss the Paris agrement out of hand.

But he said his forces would fight on, since their military positions were under constant attack.

Western diplomats in the region are quoted as saying that there were serious doubts about the prospects for a realistic ceasefire.
