Rwanda Sanctions Will Undermine Push for Congo Peace Talks, Proscribed Minister Says
International sanctions against Rwanda will reduce the incentive for Kinshasa to engage in peace talks with M23 rebels who have made lightning advances in eastern Congo this year, a proscribed Rwandan minister has said.
Rwanda-backed rebels who captured eastern Congo’s major city of Goma have targeted relatives of fleeing Congolese soldiers.
The rebels, which Rwanda denies supporting, have long been funded at least in part by the illicit mineral trade.
