The development follows the arrest of leaders of militias, Laforge Fils Bazeye and Lieutenant-Colonel Theophile Abega of FDLR and RNC led by Kayumba Nyamwasa that were caught as they returned from Uganda where they mastermind their attacks from.
A report from MONUSCO released in December 2018 indicates that RNC led by Kayumba which operates on the southern Kivu intends to attack Rwanda.
Crispin Atama Tabe the DRC Minister of Defense on 18th of January this year wrote to MONUSCO asking for their intervention in stopping the activities of FDLR on the DRC territory.
“DRC is strongly opposed to insurgents using its territory to disturb the peace in any neighboring country. I am asking the MONUSCO to help DRC army (FARDC) in stopping any possible attack planned by FDLR fighters,” said Crispin.
