DRC: Félix Tshisekedi denounces Kagame’s opposition to an African country hosting the FDLR, saying it is used to justify Rwanda’s presence on Congolese soil

Speaking to the Congolese community in Moscow on the sidelines of the Russia-Africa summit, Félix Tshisekedi challenged Kigali’s claim that the FDLR pose a threat to Rwanda’s security. He said Kinshasa had begun moving the fighters away from conflict zones to a site in Kitona, ahead of their transfer to a host country in Africa or their return to Rwanda.
