The Democratic Republic of Congo's government will repatriate the body of ex-ruler Mobutu Sese Seko in agreement with his family, President Joseph Kabila has said.Mr Mobutu is buried in Morocco, where he died in 1997 after being overthrown in a rebellion by Mr Kabila's father.He was a hated figure among many Congolese, but the country has been hit by instability since he was ousted.Mr Kabila's gesture is seen as an attempt to promote reconciliation.
