Abstract

about-turn and cosying up to Rwanda have been mixed, with some viewing his move with deep suspicion. Nkunda was arrested by Rwandan authorities during the night of January 22nd while fleeing across the border into Rwandan territory. Prior to that, Rwandan forces had marched on his headquarters at Bunagana, in DR Congo’s North Kivu region. Nkunda put up brief resistance before his arrest officials said and was being held by the Rwandan army. The immediate reaction from DR Congo’s Communications Minister, Lambert Mende, was to hail the arrest as a considerable achievement for peace in the region. Nkunda is a former general in the Congolese army who defected with his troops in 2004 to fight Hutu rebels in North Kivu. Top commanders in his CNDP (the French acronym for National Congress for the Defence of DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO Laurent Nkunda Arrested An unprecedented collaboration with the Rwandan army aims forcibly to disarm and repatriate the Interahamwe rebels, but risks further destabilising the country. In a dramatic turnaround, the DR Congo army (FARDC) and Rwanda launched a joint operation on January 20th in eastern DR Congo during which Tutsi rebel leader Laurent Nkunda was arrested.
