Since May this year, the M23 group launched renewed attacks on the Congolese government forces and has captured key territories toward Goma.<\/p>\n

DR Congo has been accusing Rwanda of supporting the M23 rebels and recently, it consequently expelled Rwanda\u2019s Ambassador.<\/p>\n

In an interview on France 24 and RFI, Ndayishimiye said that there is progress in dialogues on the situation in DR Congo and he has not yet decided on accusations against Rwanda.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t say that we are lagging behind. We are in advance. Regarding dialogues and reconciliation between the two states, the rapprochement is a good step, accepting to sit together is progress.<\/p>\n

I consider it as significant progress because there are meetings and I have seen that the international community such as the United Nations, European Union, and President Macron who is president of the EU are aware of the process to seek a solution and restore peace in that region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ndayishimiye said that he has not established whether Rwanda is behind M23 rebels in DR Congo adding a consultative meeting will soon analyze the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil now, at the level of the region, we, including myself, have not yet decided on the Congolese accusations about Rwanda. We are planning a consultative meeting with the Angola president as the facilitator. We will have the opportunity to analyze and see the reality about the issues,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said that Burundi is sending two battalions to the South Kivu region, in DR Congo, as part of the joint regional force of the East African community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no tensions between Burundi and DR Congo,\u201d he said, making a case for sending forces to DRC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe Are hopeful that armed forces will accept laying down arms,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Ndayishimiye also said that relations between his country and Rwanda are improving.<\/p>\n
