Rwanda involved in North Kasai fighting

    NAIROBI

    Rwanda has for the first time since the signing of the Lusaka ceasefire agreement last year confirmed that its troops have engaged Congolese government forces and their allies in North Kasai province.

    "We exercised maximum restraint until Kabila and his allies moved from their positions and attacked us, this action is to register our concern with the way ceasefire violators are being treated," Major Emmanuel Ndahiro advisor to the Rwandan Vice-President Paul Kagame told IRIN on Tuesday. The government of President Laurent-Desire Kabila has so far made no comment on the allegations of renewed fighting.
