DR Congo and Rwanda are holding talks to settle their dispute

The Democratic Republic of the Congo’s capital is hosting talks aimed at resolving a diplomatic row with Rwanda and putting an end to a violent conflict in the country’s east.

Former Kenyan leader Uhuru Kenyatta and Angola’s President Joo Lourenço are mediating between representatives of the two governments.

This follows a meeting with Rwandan President Paul Kagame on Friday.

He has denied backing the M23 rebel group that recently re-launched an offensive that has left tens of thousands of people displaced.

The mediators will also speak to victims of the conflict.

DR Congo’s government is due to meet representatives of various armed groups later this month in the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
