Les FARDC affirment avoir tué 23 miliciens interahamwe au Nord-Kivu

Le général Obedi Rwabasira, commandant de la 8eme région militaire des Forces armées de la République Démocratique du Congo (FARDC), a affirmé lundi à IRIN que les troupes gouvernementales ont tué, vendredi, 23 combattants de l'Interahamwe, une milice d'hutus rwandais, dans la province orientale du Nord-Kivu.

"Il y a eu 23 morts parmi les interahamwe, et nous avons pu récupérer 17 armes légères, des FMG, et quatre boites de munitions pour mitrailleuses" a-t-il indiqué par téléphone depuis Goma, chef lieu de la province.

La Mission des Nations Unies en RDC (MONUC) a indiqué ne pas être en mesure de vérifier cette affirmation.

Selon le général Obedi Rwabasira, les affrontements ont eu lieu vendredi dernier dans les villages de Rubare et Kingi, au nord de Goma.
