Rwanda tightens revenue controls in the east

    NAIROBI

    The Rwandan Patriotic Army (RPA), which is supporting the RCD in the east of the country, has given its troops the mandate to manage the use of treasury resources in rebel-held areas, AFP reported on Monday. Rwandan soldiers have been designated to the control and distribution of public treasury and revenue resources amassed in RCD-controlled territory, AFP
    reported, adding that RCD leader Emile Ilunga had established a joint commission to monitor the treasury on a weekly and monthly basis. "There is a joint battle we are engaged in against President Laurent Kabila which calls for the pooling of resources and the mobilisation of funds to continue the war," the agency quoted RCD spokesman Kin-Kiey Mulumba as
    saying.
