Kabila calls for all-out war on Rwanda

    NAIROBI

    Kabila has called for “total war” against Rwanda on state radio. “The Congolese people must arm themselves. The war must be total ... The Rwandans who believe they can absorb the Congo will be absorbed themselves by the vastness of its territory. Encircled from behind, they will be wiped out,” AFP news agency quoted Kabila as having said on Friday. Kabila added that Kampala was ready to sign a ceasefire, but only on the basis of UN Security Council resolution 1234, which calls for the departure of “uninvited” forces from the DRC.
