Reports claiming specialists from the UN Security Council have discovered "strong proof" that Rwanda is collaborating with and aiding the M23 rebel group in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo are untrue, unfounded, and a "tactic to divert attention from actual issues," according to Rwanda.
Their remarks came after a government spokesman for the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Patrick Muyaya, commended the UN group's efforts and expressed confidence that swift decisions would be made to cease Rwanda's intervention and restore sustainable peace.
According to a private study by UN specialists, which was made public on Thursday by the Reuters news agency, there is proof that Rwandan troops and M23 fighters together attacked a sizable base of the Congolese army in Rumangabo, in the eastern North Kivu region, on May 25.
Rwanda has repeatedly denied allegations it supports the M23 rebels.
Kigali in turn accuses Kinshasa of shelling its territory.
Tensions between the two countries escalated this year following a resurgence of activity by the rebel group.
Earlier this year, the Congolese government suspended all RwandAir flights from the country over Rwanda’s alleged support of the rebels.
