President Paul Kagame has reiterated that Rwandan troops are in the DRC for security reasons. Addressing a joint press conference with visiting Malawian President Bakili Muluzi, Kagame again denied his country had been plundering Congo's natural resources, as stated in a report by a UN panel of experts. "There have been accusations about human rights violations in eastern Congo. There have been accusations about plundering Congo's wealth," he said, according to Rwandan radio.
