Congo drags Rwanda to African rights court over alleged killings, looting

The Democratic Republic of Congo on Tuesday announced its intent to sue Rwanda at the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights based in Arusha, Tanzania. According to the DRC’s Deputy Minister of Justice Samuel Mbemba, the case, which is scheduled for a hearing on February 12, 2025, focuses on allegations of killings, looting, and other violations in the eastern part of the country. Mulengwa Zihindura is the president of the Center for Political and Strategic Studies in DRC and a former spokesperson for President Joseph Kabila. He tells VOA's Douglas Mpuga that there is not much to expect from the court.
