Rwanda threatens Congo attack

RWANDA yesterday insisted it would soon attack rebels inside the Democratic Republic of Congo unless they were disarmed, as the UN Security Council warned any incursion could threaten regional stability.

President Paul Kagame said Congo and the international community had failed to tackle the rebels for 10 years.

“If the international community cannot take care of this problem, if the Congo cannot take full care of this problem ... we cannot simply be punching balls for these criminals,” Kagame told reporters in Senegal’s capital Dakar.
