FDLR control mines in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
Rebels of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) control mines in the Ruvingi region of eastern DR Congo’s Nord-Kivu province, the UN military spokesman said Wednesday.
“The FDLR continue to remain present in the mining region of Ruvungi about 65 kilometres (40 miles) northeast of Walikale,” Lieutenant-Colonel Jean-Paul Dietrich of the UN mission in DRC (MONUC) told a news briefing.
“They control the mines,” he added.
The Rwandan rebels “use uniforms of (the Congolese) army to conceal their identity during their operations,” Dietrich said, adding that the renegades were “well armed and possess satellite phones.”
