I ask one man watching from the facet of the street what he makes of this excessive shift.

“This is bad!” he says to me discreetly on the facet of the street, with our automobile as cowl from the prying eyes of the junior M23 troopers.

“My family is not good. I am not good – we don’t know what comes next.”

Small teams are assembly the rebels with cheers and clapping.

We can’t inform whether it is reduction from the Congolese state or a vital precaution for a lot of who don’t need to go away their hometown on the cusp of a brand new administration.

Because the Romanian males cross by in a single file, they’re chastised by M23 spokesperson Willy Ngoma who faucets them mockingly one after the other.

“Come on soldier!” he mentioned. “You were fighting for money – we were fighting for our life!”

I nook him as he flags the buses by – might you have got come this far with out Rwanda’s assist?

He tries to maintain busy, and after the fourth time I repeat the query, he yells into my face in French:

“We are a Congolese army, we are Congolese! We fight for a fair and noble cause – we are Congolese. We are not helped by Rwanda!”

It’ll take greater than a feverish denial to undermine the extensively identified assist of Rwanda for M23 – one which has been condemned on the highest ranges of the United Nations and senior diplomats from around the globe.

Because the “Welcome to Rwanda” signal will get nearer, the final Romanian mercenary limps throughout with a wounded leg flanked by a UN safety advisor and an Indian medic.
