| 2009-01-05 |
| The ministers of defence of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo) on Monday met in the western border town of Gisenyi in an effort to eliminate negative forces from the DR Congo. General Marcel Gasintzi the defence minister represented Rwanda while Charles Mwando Simba represented the DR Congo. The meeting was also attended by high level security delegations from both countries including their two army chiefs. They discussed the implementation of their earlier reported joint military operation plan. This is the latest in the many meetings that have been held by officials from both countries in efforts to find lasting peace in the region. Several bi-lateral meetings have been held to try and find a lasting solution to the security situation especially dealing with the genocidaire Forces for the Democratic Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR). |
