KIGALI, Rwanda
Rwandan President, Paul Kagame, has said his country is not involved in the violation of the agreement signed between him, the United States and the Democratic Republic of Congo's president last week in Washington.
Speaking in Kigali, President Kagame stressed that fighting in eastern Congo had been ongoing even before the agreement was signed.
Congo and Western countries have been accusing Rwanda of supporting the M23 rebels who captured the town of Uvira in South Kivu earlier this week, just after the agreement was signed.
Speaking at the swearing-in of some newly appointed government officials, Kagame said he personally had been under great pressure, especially with allegations implicating Rwanda in the ongoing war in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
He said that the agreement between Rwanda, the DRC and the United States was signed in Washington on the 4th of this month, and his country participated voluntarily and with the intention of peace, saying Rwanda had accepted it and would comply with its demands so that the agreement could lead the two countries into peace.
