UN report: Rwandan army may have committed genocide

None

Crimes committed by Rwanda's army and Congolese rebels in Congo during the 1990s could be classified as genocide, a leaked draft UN report says, a charge that will stir tensions between Kigali and the UN.

 

A Congo expert said diplomats were wrangling over whether to include the highly sensitive genocide accusation in the final version of the document. The report details crimes committed in the former Belgian colony between 1993 and 2003, a period that saw the fall of dictator Mobutu Sese Seko and a five-year conflict involving six foreign armies, including Rwanda's Tutsi-led force.
