Rwanda, DRC Leaders to Meet and Discuss Crisis, Angola’s Foreign Minister Says

Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame has agreed to meet his colleague from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Felix Tshisekedi, to discuss defense in the Central African nation’s dangerous eastern regions, according to Angola’s foreign minister.

Violence between the mostly Tutsi radicals and DRC armed forces has spreading in the country’s east, dislocating more than 100,000 people, according to the United Nations.

The DRC, the United Nations and Western nations blame Rwanda of supporting the rebellious group, an accusation Kigali disagrees.

“It was decided that President (Paul) Kagame would agree to meet President (Felix) Tshisekedi on a date to be indicated by the mediator,” Angola’s Tete Antonio told the press.
