British Minister refutes Rwanda-CNDP links

VILLAGE URUGWIRO - The British Minister for Africa, Asia and the United Nations, Lord Malloch-Brown, has refuted allegations that Rwanda is supporting DR Congo rebel movement, the National Congress for the Defence of the People (CNDP). Speaking to journalists after a lengthy meeting with President Paul Kagame at Urugwiro Village Thursday, Malloch-Brown said that his government  rejected any suggestions that CNDP is being assisted by Rwanda. “We completely reject allegations that CNDP is a Rwandan force. CNDP is a reactionary force, it has been created by internal issues in that country,” the minister said.
