Rwandan President Paul Kagame has once again accused the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) of fueling the ongoing conflict in the eastern part of the country. He pointed to the presence of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), a Hutu armed group originally formed from remnants of Rwanda's army, and their continued presence on Congolese soil as the primary concern for Rwanda.
Kagame stated that if this issue remains unresolved, it is only natural for Rwanda to continue its involvement in the conflict. He alleged that the Congolese authorities are engaging in activities like arming the FDLR and integrating its members into their own forces. The Democratic Republic of Congo, on the other hand, blames Rwanda for supporting the M23 movement, an armed group present in eastern DRC, and for deploying Rwandan troops into Congolese territory.
Rwanda vehemently denies these accusations.
