Annan welcomes rebel Rwandan force’s intention to return home from DR of Congo
Dominican Republic of Congo - United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan today welcomed a statement by Rwanda's main rebel group that it condemns the 1994 genocide in that country, renounces the use of force and will disarm, return peacefully to Rwanda from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and cooperate with the international justice system.
He urged the DRC and Rwandan Governments to cooperate in ensuring that these commitments, announced in Rome after secret negotiations, do take place and he directed the UN peacekeeping operation to assist the process.
