Rwanda's foreign minister says his country is not afraid of mounting diplomatic pressure over its role in the advance of M23 rebels through neighbouring DR Congo. The UK is suspending aid to Rwanda over its support for the rebels and Kinshasa is lobbying partners to stop backing Kigali. More than 7,000 people have been killed since the militia began seizing towns in eastern DR Congo this year. Regional troops have backed the Congolese army with little success; South Africa completed the evacuation of 127 wounded soldiers from the front line on Wednesday. The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is in the Congolese capital and spoke to FRANCE 24.
