{{Jules Mutebusi 54, a former DR Congo rebel leader has died relatives said Sunday that he died on Friday evening in a hospital in Kigali after battling a long illness.
Mutebusi, from the Democratic Republic of Congo’s South Kivu region was a top military leader of the Rally for Congolese Democracy (RCD).
In 2004 Laurent Nkunda, together with Mutebusi jointly captured Bukavu, the capital of South Kivu, on the grounds that the local population was being persecuted.
After the Congolese army and its allies recaptured the lakeside city, fierce fighting pitted RCD rebels against loyalist forces in the Kamanyola region.
When his forces were defeated, Mutebusi and 300 of his men fled to Rwanda.}}
