A meeting of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s top security officials has recommended that the government suspend all agreements and protocols that the country has with Rwanda amid allegations that Rwandan troops have entered the country and are supporting M23 rebels.
The Rwandan authorities have constantly denied any role in the ongoing crisis in eastern DR Congo.
The Rwandan government’s Deputy Spokesperson Alain Mukuralinda said they would “wait and see” if any decision was approved by the government.
On the ground in North Kivu province, where M23 rebels have occupied the border town of Bunagana since Monday, locals are fearful that clashes could restart any time. END
