Concerns Congo crisis could escalate

In this radio interview for the ABC radio’s ‘The World Today’ broadcast on 11 November 2008, Dr Andre M.N. Renzaho notes that Rwanda has more motives to keep its troops and allies in D.R. Congo than just pursuing those who committed genocide in 1994, mainly the natural resources. Rwandan has been exporting coltan in the Kivu and today Rwanda has its financial structures dependent heavily on the natural resources that Congo possesses. While Rwanda is using the motives of pursuing those who committed genocide in 1994, its primary motives in actually fact is to exploit Congo’s natural resources.
