Rwanda, DRC accuse each other of violating ceasefire

    NAIROBI
    Rwanda and DRC have traded accusations of ceasefire violations. A statement issued by the Rwandan President's Office on Monday said that in addition to "continued air and ground shelling" by the DRC and its allies, Interahamwe militiamen were being trained in Zimbabwe and deployed in DRC. "This constitutes a serious violation of the agreements which call for the disarmament of these genocide-prone forces," the statement said. Meanwhile, a statement by the general headquarters of the allied forces in Kinshasa on Saturday accused the rebels and their allies of attacking areas in Ikela and Dibelenge.
