KIGOGO, Democratic Republic of Congo — Shortly after midday in this village nestled in clouds, the progenitors of the long, dirty war across Central Africa came out of the jungle and laid down their guns. Not all the gunmen in their ranks: 83 guerrillas were present, along with their wives and children. And not all their guns: The cache included several ancient rifles, some rusty mortars and two Vietnam-era, American-made machine guns. But the gesture, wrapped in pomp and ceremony in the presence of foreign diplomats and United Nations officials, was a new twist in a war that has pitted tribes and nations against one another for 20 years and left a trail of rapes and massacres across a vast, mineral-rich section of the continent. ...

If you can't beat them, join them. Kagame considers FDLR to be a criminal organization, and FDLR considers Kagame's regime to be a criminal organization. Since  Rwanda cannot let all its "criminals" perish, Rwanda should promote forgiveness, and possibly general amnesty. Truth and Reconciliation is the only way to go. So, Ms. Mushikiwalando, you should rejoice instead of getting bitter about this new development. You should always remember this:  RPF murdered your brother, not FDLR . Timing is everything. Rwanda is rotationally presiding over UNSC during the upcoming month of July. As such, UNSC wan...

  http://www.news.va/en/news/africacongo-dr-address-the-problem-of-rwandan-hutu Kinshasa - The recent armed clashes at the border of the two Countries between the military of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, shows, according to the missionaries of the Network for Peace in the Congo, that the strategy of Kigali to fund armed groups in the North Kivu has now been discovered. The Rwandese government has been forced to allow the army to intervene directly to control a region rich in natural resources. One of the pretexts used by Rwanda to intervene in the north-east of the DRC is the presence in the area of the FDLR , a Rwandan Hutu militia installed in the DRC, whose members are often accused of having participated in the Rwanda genocide of 1994."In fact, the FDLR are quite a threat for the Congolese population, victims of their intolerable abuses: arbitrary arrests, theft of agricultural products, death threats, burning of vill...

The bodies were handed over following border clashes between the two countries armies earlier this month. DR Congo says they began when a corporal was kidnapped by Rwandan soldiers who crossed the border. Rwanda says the men were killed in combat after they attacked Rwandan soldiers on its territory. The neighbours have had a fractious relationship since the 1994 Rwandan genocide, when those accused of involvement in the killings of an estimated 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus set up a militia in eastern DR Congo.
