President Says Militias Continue to Attack
- Share via
Rwandan President Paul Kagame has threatened to renew Central Africa’s deadliest conflict, claiming his country was being attacked by militias based in neighboring Congo.
Kagame called a 5-month-old U.N.-led campaign to disarm the Rwandan Hutu militias in Congo a failure.
Asked when Rwanda would act, he said, “It should have been yesterday.”
The U.N. mission in Congo said no cross-border attacks from Congo had been verified, and Congo flatly denied Kagame’s charge.
