Renewed pressure from the United States (US) on both Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo seems to be bearing early fruit after Kinshasa banned its troops from having any links or working relations with the Rwandan rebel group, Forces Démocratiques de Libération du Rwanda (FDLR).
A statement issued on Tuesday by the Congolese army (FARDC) said Congolese soldiers are forbidden, “whatever their rank, to have any contact whatsoever with the FDLR”.
