The RCD meanwhile denied carrying out the killings. Its vice-president Moise Nyarugabo told Reuters rebel troops were continuously conducting operations to track down Mayi-Mayi fighters and some had been killed over the weekend. “The problem is that when we kill the Mayi-Mayi, they become civilians.
