FDLR faction agrees to lay down arms

A top aide of President Paul Kagame has said that the country will always welcome anybody who decides to end war and return home voluntarily. Ambassador Richard Sezibera, the President’s Special Envoy to the Great Lakes region, was speaking to The New Times yesterday in response to earlier reports that a faction of the DR Congo-based FDLR rebels had agreed to lay down their arms and be repatriated.
