The Rwandan president has accused his Democratic Republic of Congo counterpart of trying to find a way to have the next elections postponed by implicating Rwanda in the country’s crisis.
President Paul Kagame accused the Congolese leader Félix Tshisekedi of creating grounds for an emergency so that next year’s elections don’t take place.
Mr. Kagame says it was a shame many parties and countries "claim to want to resolve the problem that has remained for decades.
He cautioned powerful countries, mentioning the US, UK, France, and the UN, against accusing or believing that Rwanda was to blame for the instabilities in eastern Congo.
He accused UN forces of failing to eradicate the Rwandan rebel group - FDLR - and others operating in DR Congo.
He also denied claims that Rwanda was stealing minerals from DR Congo.
