DRC army says it killed Juvenal Musabimana, a Hutu militia leader, and four of his bodyguards in an operation near Ugandan border
In this file photograph taken on February 6, 2009, a pair of Rwandan Hutu rebels of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda stand in a dense forest outside Pinga, some 150km north-west of Goma in DRC.
Juvenal Musabimana led a splinter group of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda [FDLR], a group founded by Hutu officials who fled Rwanda after orchestrating 1994 genocide. The army "neutralised another radical leader of the FDLR on Saturday the ninth of November at 14:00," said Guillaume Njike, a DRC army spokesman.
"Compared with Mudacumura, is a small fish so I doubt this is as significant, but it shows that different actors seem to be converging on a more coordinated push against FDLR and anything they define as such."
