UN to be quizzed on lack of action in DRC

    NAIROBI

    Rwanda is to ask the UN why it is dragging its feet over the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the Rwanda News Agency reported on Wednesday. It cited the presidency minister, Patrick Mazimhaka, as saying the call would be made during next week’s debate in New York on the DRC crisis. “Our country will ask the UN to face up to its responsibility,” he said, noting that the organisation had not yet deployed any peacekeepers in DRC. As a result, Rwanda was still confronted by insecurity caused by the Interahamwe militia and ex-FAR troops.
