Rwandan President Paul Kagame has criticized the report of United Nations experts on the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo, saying that it was written by "experts who tell the story in a way that shows that they have no experience in the file.
Kagame who was speaking to journalists in Kigali added that these experts "talk about the presence of Rwandan forces in eastern Congo DR and completely ignore the presence of armed opposition forces known as the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, and their cooperation with Congolese army."
The President of Rwanda has pointed out that the discussion about the current problem in Eastern Congo should be in the context of the problems facing the Democratic Republic of Congo because "Eastern Congo is an important part of the Democratic Republic of Congo and not another independent country."
Kagame has associated the unrest in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo with the colonial era, and said that the colonial countries scattered some tribes in more than one place.
Referring to Congo DR citizens of Tutsi origin, President Kagame has said that the government of Kinshasa accepts that they are citizens, but continues to support armed rebel groups, especially the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, which embraces the ideology of genocide and provide financial support and weapons to those groups.
Kagame has said that his country has information about the presence in the Democratic Republic of Congo of at least 20 people who organized, supported and spread the ideology of genocide in Rwanda in 1994, and that they are working to maintain the ideology of genocide, which still threatens the region that."
A few days ago, the United Nations revealed in its report that between 3,000 and 4,000 Rwandan soldiers are fighting side by side with the rebels of the M23 group in eastern Congo DR, with Kigali leading the group's operations.
