Congolese rebel group AFC/M23 says Rwanda has a right to support its cause in pacifying eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to secure its borders and keep the genocidal Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) away.
M23 political leader Bertrand Bisimwa said their cooperation with Kigali is not about political or military support but about security because of armed groups, especially the FDLR, which killed people in Rwanda and escaped into Congo, from where they plan attacks against Congolese civilians of Rwandan descent and cross-border attacks against Rwandans.
