drc/rwanda: Kigali dismisses Amnesty report on its presence in Congo

The recent report by human rights advocacy group Amnesty International that Rwanda still has troops in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) was "based on unfounded allegations, speculation and innuendo", the Rwandan Foreign Affairs Ministry said on Monday. "We categorically reject insinuations by Amnesty International, some NGOs and journalists that we still have forces in the South and North Kivu and even in Ituri region," the ministry said.
