Recently, Lambert Mende, DRC Government spokesperson said his Government has so far arrested over 430 rebels since fighting started last week adding that some of the fighters were handed to MONUSCO which later gave them to Rwanda.

Speaking to IGIHE, the Head of Rwanda’s Demobilization Commission, Jean Sayinzoga said “We received no fighter from Congolese Government. We work closely with MONUSCO. No fighter yet handed in. Once they have them they will tell us”
