President Says Militias Continue to Attack
From Times Wire Reports
Rwandan President Paul Kagame has threatened to renew Central Africa’s deadliest conflict, claiming his country was being attacked by militias based in neighboring Congo.
Kagame called a 5-month-old U.N.-led campaign to disarm the Rwandan Hutu militias in Congo a failure.
Asked when Rwanda would act, he said, “It should have been yesterday.”
The U.N. mission in Congo said no cross-border attacks from Congo had been verified, and Congo flatly denied Kagame’s charge.
