Rwanda leading east African region toward war: US envoy to UN

The U.S. ambassador to the U.N. on Friday accused Rwanda, which supports the M23 armed group in the conflict in eastern DR Congo, of leading the region toward war.

"Instead of progress toward peace, as we have seen under President Trump's leadership in recent weeks, Rwanda is leading the region toward more instability and toward war," Mike Waltz told a Security Council meeting.

He denounced "the scope and the sophistication of Rwanda's involvement" in neighboring DR Congo, where the M23 has launched a new offensive.
