DR Congo vows to punish soldiers with links to rebel group

Published

on

The army said anyone – regardless of rank – who broke the ban on dealing with the FDLR militia would be arrested.

The announcement follows pressure from the United States on both Congo and Rwanda to lessen tension between them.

Rwanda is widely believed to have set up the Tutsi-led M23 rebel group to counter the FDLR – Rwandan authorities have always denied allegations of supporting the group.
