Top Rwandan officials backs Congo rebels

None

UN experts have evidence Rwanda's defence minister and two top military officials have been backing an army mutiny in the east of neighbouring Congo, according to notes of their briefing to a closed-door UN committee seen by Reuters on Thursday.

 

The evidence is the strongest yet to indicate high-level support within President Paul Kagame's government for the so-called M23 rebellion, whose stand-off with Congolese forces has caused thousands to flee their homes in the east of the country. (Reuters)
