Rwandan Troops Begin Pull Out from Democratic Republic of Congo

Rwandan troops have begun to pull out of the Democratic Republic of Congo following a joint campaign against Hutu rebels that have positioned themselves in the country.

While falling short of calling the five-week operation against the rebels a complete success Rwandan Foreign Minister Rosemary Museminali said the FDLR “have been seriously weakened, their strength considerably reduced.”

Much of the FDLR is made up of Hutu rebels who fled Rwanda in 1994 following the end of a genocide campaign that left more than 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutus dead. They have since waged battle with Tutsi communities in DR Congo as well as crossed the Rwandan border in sporadic attacks.

In January the DR Congo and Rwanda agreed to work together in eliminating the Hutu rebel presence in Congo and thousands of Rwandan troops took part in the operation. Now those troops are beginning to leave but Museminali stated, “If the Congolese troops continue the operation, we don't doubt they will achieve their goal.”
