CONGO: DAY OF RECKONING FOR RWANDA COMING

A sombre mood filled the city of Goma in DR Congo’s east as the city laid to rest victims of rocket attacks on nearby refugee camps.

The atrocities, which Kinshasa says were carried out by the M23 rebel group with assistance from Rwanda, were perpetrated on May 3rd. They killed 35 people - mostly women and children.

During the funeral, Modeste Mutinga, DRC’s minister of social action and humanitarian affairs, angrily warned Kigali that it would face trial at The Hague for this and other alleged war crimes. Mutinga said the attacks were a reflection of the ‘cruelty and guilt of Rwanda and its leader Paul Kagame.’

The United Nations and others have also accused Rwanda of being the force behind M23. Kigali has denied the allegations.

What do you think? Should Kagame stand trial as a war criminal?
