Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) President Laurent Kabila on Wednesday scoffed at a US offer of 10 million dollars in reconstruction aid, saying it was far too little. "Ten million dollars is absolutely insufficient," he said over state radio, adding: "Even 100 million dollars wouldn't be enough." US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who will meet the new leader of the former Zaire for the first time during a visit here Thursday, announced the aid package on Tuesday in Addis Ababa, during the first stop of her African tour. The DRC has estimated that some 1.29 billion dollars will be needed for the reconstruction of the resource-rich country and requested 728 million dollars from the international community.{AFP} How long will Kabila last?And many million will he take with him when he flees?
