The DRC on Friday called on the UN Security Council to condemn what it said were attacks by Rwandan troops in Kasai Occidental, news agencies reported. In a letter to the Council president, the DRC’s UN mission in New York said last week’s attacks on Idumbe and another locations in the province had killed hundreds of soldiers and civilians and constituted a “new flagrant violation” by Rwanda of the ceasefire agreement, Reuters reported. The DRC also called on the Council to demand the redeployment of Rwandan troops to the positions they held before 1 March, it said.
