Rwanda says the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) government has not acted on Kigali’s request for further details about the former M23 leaders and commanders Kinshasa wants extradited, a few days after the matter cropped up at the United Nations Security Council.
Last week, DRC’s ambassador to the UN, Ignace Gata Mavita wa Lufuta, accused Rwanda of failing to act on Congo’s request last July for the extradition of four M23 leaders. He asked the UNSC to urge both Rwanda and Uganda to co-operate by arresting and handing over wanted M23 commanders to Congolese judicial bodies.
