Kinshasa takes Rwanda to ICJ, alleging abuses in DR Congo.

The Democratic Republic of Congo filed a case against Rwanda at the International Court of Justice on Friday, accusing its neighbour of atrocities in the conflict-plagued eastern DRC.

Mineral-rich eastern DRC has been plagued for three decades by conflict involving a myriad of armed groups.

They include the M23, which has seized vast swathes of territory in eastern DRC, and which the government in Kinshasa accuses Rwanda of backing.
