The Democratic Republic of Congo has denounced Rwanda for declaring that it will no longer accept refugees from the war in the country's eastern region.
The comments made by the president of Rwanda, Paul Kagame, showed, according to a representative for the Congolese government, that he placed no priority on human rights.
He claimed that Kigali was using refugees for political gain in order to extort money from the world community.
Patrick Muyaya claimed that despite President Kagame's efforts to retract his comments, he had "exposed his genuine objectives."
In order to escape a fight between the government and the M23 rebels, which the international community claims is supported by Rwanda, more than 70,000 Congolese have crossed into Rwanda. Kigali refutes the assertion.
There are numerous scars in Eastern Congo.
Eastern Congo is scarred by dozens of conflicts, mostly over mineral resources.
