DRC/Rwanda: DRC to send troops to border

The Democratic Republic of Congo says it is sending thousands of troops to the border with Rwanda in response to heightened tension in the region. A spokesman for President Joseph Kabila says more than 6,000 troops will be deployed within the next two weeks. It follows unconfirmed reports that Rwandan troops crossed into DR Congo. Rwanda has repeated warnings that it is prepared to take military action against Rwandan Hutu rebels based across the border.
