Rwanda’s foreign minister has accused the international community of ‘exacerbating’ the crisis in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), plagued by armed groups after the United States urged Kigali to stop any supposed support for the rebels.

In a Sunday call with Rwandan President Paul Kagame, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken ” made it clear that all external support to non-state armed groups in the DRC must end, including Rwanda’s support for M23″.

Fighting in eastern DRC between government forces and rebels from the M23, a former Tutsi rebellion, has heightened tensions with neighbouring Rwanda, which the DRC accuses of encouraging the militia. Kigali denies any involvement.

In a press release published Monday evening, the Rwandan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Vincent Biruta, affirmed that Paul Kagame and Anthony Blinken “had had good exchanges but that differences remain on the understanding of the problem”.

Rwanda has repeatedly blamed the crisis in eastern DRC on authorities in Kinshasa and accused the international community of turning a blind eye to its supposed support for the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), a movement Rwandan Hutu rebels, some of whom were involved in the 1994 Tutsi genocide in Rwanda.

Presented as a threat by Kigali, the existence and violence of this militia justified past Rwandan interventions in Congolese territory.

Vincent Biruta asserted that “Rwanda’s security problems must be taken into account”, continuing that the “M23 should not be equated with Rwanda”.

A November 23 summit in Angola ordered a ceasefire followed by the withdrawal of rebels from positions captured in recent months, but no withdrawal has been observed to date.

After a five-day truce, heavy-arms fighting resumed last week in eastern DRC between the M23 and the Congolese army, which accused the rebels of massacring around 300 civilians. The M23 rejected these accusations and called for an “independent investigation”.
