Rwanda's President Paul Kagame shrugs off a soaring death toll in Democratic Republic of Congo's east where M23 rebels are active, distancing his nation from mounting bloodshed on Rwanda's doorstep
Kagame acknowledges both China and US are jostling to gain influence in Africa, but his and other African nations will seek to avoid"choosing between the United States and China."
"The problem was not created by Rwanda, and it is not Rwanda's problem. It is Congo's [DRC's] problem," Kagame told an audience off-site from the US-Africa Summit in Washington on Wednesday. The insurgency is widely believed to be armed and supported by Rwanda, but Kagame disavowed any link to the group's actions: "I cannot be responsible for... Congolese of Rwandan descent in Congo who are being denied their rights as citizens," he said.
The UN's top representative for the conflict told the Security Council last week the M23 armed group is to blame for a security situation, beginning October 20, that "has deteriorated dramatically."
