 Mexico says two US federal agents killed in crash were not authorized for operations inside country  Mexico’s government says two U.S. federal agents killed in a northern border-region crash were not authorized to take part in any operations on Mexican soil, raising new questions about their role in a cross-border drug lab mission. Authorities say the agents were returning from an operation targeting a clandestine drug facility in Chihuahua when their vehicle, traveling as part of a convoy, went off a ravine and exploded last weekend. Two Mexican officers also died in the incident. U.S. officials have confirmed the two Americans were CIA personnel, though their agency has declined to comment on the circumstances. Mexican officials say one of the agents entered the country as a visitor while the other used a diplomatic passport, and insist the government had no knowledge of foreign operatives conducting or planning any enforcement activity inside Mexico.

 Rebel groups’ capture of Uvira near DR Congo-Burundi border worries regional bloc


The AFC/M23 capture on Thursday of Uvira bordering the Democratic Republic of Congo and Burundi has raised concerns within the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR) regional bloc.


Speaking at the start of an extraordinary meeting of the ICGLR specialized committee of defense experts in Zambia's tourist capital of Livingstone, the group’s deputy executive secretary, Yasir Mohammed, said the conflict had caused immense human suffering, mass displacement, and disruption of humanitarian operations.


He urged member states “to come up with decisive action to stop the escalation which has deepened the humanitarian crisis and heightened the risk of cross border destabilization," Paul Shalala, a Zambian Defense Ministry public relations officer, said in a statement to reporters, AA reported.


The meeting preceded an extraordinary meeting of chiefs of defense as the ICGLR seeks to address wider regional implications of the eastern Congo conflict.


Shalala said Zambia Army Commander Geoffrey Zyeele said the situation in eastern Congo remained precarious and in need of urgent attention to protect women and children caught in the fighting.


Converging on the Livingstone are representatives from the 12 ICGLR member states -- Angola, Burundi, Central African Republic (CAR), Congo, DR Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.


On Monday, Angola's President Joao Lourenco hosted Congo President Felix Tshisekedi and floated "proposals" to end the conflict, with Luanda saying Tshisekedi found the proposals "interesting."


Angola had previously attempted to broker a truce between the Congolese army and the Rwandan backed M23 rebels.
