The United States called on Rwanda to end support for the M23 rebels in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo, basing their stance on evidence that Rwandan military officials were involved in aiding the M23.
Stating that there was credible evidence that suggested that the rebels were to blame for several human rights abuses, the US state department spokeswoman, Jen Psaki said in a press release,
“We call upon Rwanda to immediately end any support for the M23.”
The call comes two days before the Secretary of State John Kerry is to lead a session of the United Nations Security Council on Africa’s Great Lakes region.
