A draft UN report says crimes by the Rwandan army and allied rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo could be classified as genocide. The 545-page report, prepared by about 20 human right officers, documents what they call widespread and systematic attacks by the Rwandan army and the Congolese AFDL rebel movement from 1993 to 2003. The AFDL rebels were led by Laurent Kabila, father of current Congolese President Joseph Kabila. Those targeted were Rwandan Hutus who had fled into what is now DR Congo, then called Zaire, after the 1994 genocide. The report said, tens of thousands of ethnic Hutus, including women, children and the elderly, were killed by the Tutsi-dominated Rwandan army. The report also lists human rights violations committed by security forces from all the countries involved in what has been called “Africa's world war”. Rwanda's justice minister has dismissed the claims as rubbish.
