Rwanda Ready For Confrontation With South Africa - Kagame

Rwandan President Paul Kagame says Rwanda is prepared for a confrontation with South Africa if necessary.

This follows South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s claim that M23 rebels and Rwanda’s defence force were responsible for the deaths of 13 South African soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

Kagame says Ramaphosa had not warned Rwanda about its military activities in the DRC but instead requested logistical support while acknowledging South Africa’s efforts for peace.

Kagame asserted that South Africa is not in a position to act as a peacemaker or mediator and warned that if South Africa seeks confrontation, Rwanda will respond accordingly.
