A military spokesman in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo says two Rwandan soldiers were captured by villagers, just a day after Kigali claimed they were captured by pro-government rebels.
The Rwandan soldiers – Élysée Nkundabagenzi and Ntwari Gad – were captured by residents of Bwisha chiefdom, about 20 kilometers away from the border, according to Gen Sylvain Ekenge.
He claimed the two soldiers entered DR Congo last Wednesday to attack the Runangabo military camp before they were captured by residents.
On Saturday, Rwanda said the two soldiers were being held captive in eastern DR Congo by the Rwandan Hutu FDLR militia, which it says gets support from Kinshasa. END
