A LEAKED report from United Nations experts has accused Rwanda of carrying out military operations against the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Rwanda has long denied accusations from Kinshasa that it has had direct involvement in the conflict in the DRC or that it has provided support for the M23 rebels.
