Rwandan President Paul Kagame blasted criticism of his country’s role in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo where rebels his government backs have seized its largest city, saying Kigali is prepared for “confrontation” if necessary.
M23 rebels, with support from Rwandan troops, marched into Goma earlier this week and are now advancing south toward Bukavu, capital of neighbouring South Kivu province, in the biggest escalation since 2012 of a decades-old conflict.
