President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Felix Tshisekedi, has maintained his stance that Rwanda is behind the M23 Rebels terrorizing DR Congo<\/b><\/a>. <\/p>\n

Reports from Kinshasa indicate that there are proofs that back their assertion that Kigali is backing the rebels in the eastern region of DR Congo. <\/p>\n

However, the Paul Kagame-led government has denied the claims and rubbished reports linking the rebels to Kigali. Kinshasa says there is no credit in the denial and have reported Rwanda to international bodies for intervention. <\/p>\n

In what would come as a surprise to Rwanda, the chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has said he would immediately order a hold on its assistance to Rwanda for its role in the crisis in DR Congo. <\/p>\n

The United State Committee says it believes that the Rwandan government is playing a role in fueling the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo. The committee also claims that it is hugely concerned about the record of human rights violations by the Rwandan government, both in the past and in recent times. <\/p>\n
