The immune pressure concerning Rwanda’s diplomatic role in advancing the M23 fighters within nearby Democratic Republic of Congo doesn’t intimidate Rwanda, stated its foreign minister. The UK has paused aid to Rwanda due to its backing of the rebels, and Kinshasa is urging its allies to halt support to Kigali. The conflict, since the militia started capturing towns in eastern DRC this year, has led to over 7,000 fatalities. The regional forces have supported the Congolese military with limited success; South Africa concluded the evacuation of 127 injured troops from the front on Wednesday. The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is visiting the Congolese capital and gave an interview to France 24.
