Our hands are clean, says Rwanda amid DRC crisis

RWANDA says it is not involved in attacks on peacekeeping troops and civilians in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) amid claims by Sadc that it is fuelling conflict in the DRC.

However, analysts yesterday said if the volatile situation was not addressed urgently it would lead to the destabilisation of the whole region.

The accusations, made during the Sadc extraordinary summit held in Harare on Friday, have sparked a war of words between Rwanda and the regional bloc, raising fears  the crisis could lead to a full-blown war in the Great Lakes region.
