The Black-American Moslem leader, Louis Farrakhan, has been visiting the Democratic Republic of Congo, as part of his fifty-nation world tour.

Mr Farrakhan who met the director of the Congolese cabinet, Abdulayi Yerodia, said his Nation of Islam movement supported the efforts of the Kabila government to rebuild the new Congo nation.

Mr Farrakhan has so far visited Liberia, Niger, Sudan, and Libya, and aroused the condemnation of the United States government over his meeting with Colonel Gaddafi.
